Ernst Engel of New York, circa 1960s wool ski pants with stir-up ankles, new with original Saks Fifth Avenue tag. The 1960s saw a wave of ski style, one marked by real innovation in design and the unparalleled glamour of high society, royalty, and Hollywood. Impossibly chic, the best example of the mystic of ski life, streamlined pants, stretch textiles, and bold style. Stretch fabric “so tight you can lean on it”, has been the dictum for ski pants ever since downhill racers discovered that you can pare off seconds of time by paring away inches of wind-resisting fabric. Among the slimmest of the stretch ski pants are those by Ernst Engel. His ski pants have elasticized side inserts, and were worn by French racers. These pants are cinched below the knee with a continuous strap under the instep, with a zipper added to make them easier to get on and off. The wool blend fabric is a tight waffle texture, marvelous in red, you CAN almost “lean on” theses pants. Fabulous, wear these pants in the world of snow, a world on skis - gleaming, silent, and you will be intoxicating as you shred the slopes!
These pants can be dry cleaned or hand wash, dry flat.
