Product Insights
The Hooper Pant Ed (ET AL, 529 AUD) is a unisex wool pant sized 0–6 in 2-inch waist increments (28/44 to 40/56), fitted to the full hip with stretch limited to the back waistband so a smaller waist can sit over wider hips while hips and thighs stay fixed. Centre-front panel and back hem darts shape a tailored, elongated leg line in the crop, and the back-only elastic keeps front and back pockets anchored. The woven wool suiting drapes with structure, holding the pressed seam and darts crisp. Cut by Anthony Capon (Project Runway AU winner, two-time Melbourne Cup design awardee), the unisex 0–6 scale was designed for both genders from the start—Et Al launched menswear in 2013 on client demand—and every pattern is cut in-house by a six-person Collingwood studio under a label founded in 1987 with maker partnerships over a decade. The tradeoff: dry-clean only; machine washing felts the wool and warps the waistband. Dry-clean once or twice a season, rest the pants 24 hours between wears, and hang, brush, or steam to refresh creases; wool's 35% moisture absorption and odour resistance allow a full season between cleanings, so the tailored line lasts.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Unisex 0–6 sizes grade in 2-in waist steps, 28 in / Euro 44 to 40 in / Euro 56.
- Fit
- Size by full hip; the elasticated back waistband stretches to accommodate a modest range of waist sizes rather than matching the size chart exactly, so a smaller waist can sit over wider hips.
- Waist stretch
- Elasticated back waistband only; flat front with stretch limited to the back waistband; hips and thighs are fixed.
- Silhouette
- The listing does not assign a straight, tapered, or wide-leg silhouette; front-panel seams, back hem darts, and woven wool create a tailored, structured line rather than a relaxed baggy cut.
- Unisex heritage
- 0–6 unisex scale was built for both genders, not relabelled: Et Al launched menswear in 2013 on client demand.
- Tailoring
- Centre-front panel and back hem darts shape the leg while the elastic back keeps the front flat.
- Pocket architecture
- Back-only elastic keeps front and back pockets anchored at the hip.
- Leg line
- Front panel shaping and back hem darts create a tailored, elongated leg line even in the cropped fit.
- Fabric
- Wool suiting cloth drapes with structure, holding the seam crisp rather than collapsing.
- Craftsmanship
- Panel patterns come from an in-house six-person Melbourne studio under designer Anthony Capon.
- Care
- Dry-clean only; machine washing felts the wool and warps the waistband.
- Cleaning cadence
- Dry-clean once or twice a season; aired wool can go a full season between cleanings.
- Between wears
- Rest wool 24 hours between wears; hang, brush, and steam refresh creases.
- Comfort
- Wool absorbs up to 35% of its own weight in moisture before feeling damp and resists odour between wears.
- Durability
- Dry-cleaning preserves the pressed front seam and hem darts, keeping the tailored line sharp.
- Provenance
- Designed and made in Melbourne, with a brand lineage traceable to 1987 when the founders started SHOW.ROOM; the first Et Al retail store opened in 2006.
- Local manufacture
- Every pattern is cut in-house by a six-person Collingwood studio; maker partnerships span over a decade
- Design lineage
- The unisex cut is by Anthony Capon, a Project Runway AU winner and two-time Melbourne Cup design awardee
- Designer
- Cut by Anthony Capon, Project Runway Australia Season 2 winner.
- Merino wool
- The product listing specifies the fabric only as wool; merino is not mentioned, so the pant cannot be confirmed as merino wool.
- Fiber stretch
- No elastane or synthetic stretch fibers are listed; the only named fiber is wool, and the stretch comes from the elasticated back waistband rather than the fabric. Fiber percentages aren't published, so a small synthetic component can't be completely ruled out.
- Size range
- The unisex size scale 0–6 spans a 28–40-inch waist and steps in 2-inch waist increments, with size 0 corresponding to a 28-inch waist and size 6 to a 40-inch waist.

Unisex pant with shaped legs and a comfortable, elasticated back
The Hooper Pant Ed is a unisex pant designed to be worn by anyone. A front panel is intended to create shaping down the centre of each leg for a structured look, and the product photo shows the style in black with a tapered ankle and smooth matte fabric. The back waistband is elasticated for extra comfort.[1,2]
Hands-in-pockets wear
The Hooper Pant Ed has front pockets, and the product photos show them in use with a model's hands slipped inside. Back patch pockets are also part of the design. In the back view, hands resting in the front pockets pull the seat slightly and create subtle diagonal creasing at the hips.[1,2,3]
Cropped hem for pairing with boots
The product photos show these pants worn with boots, with the cropped hem ending above the ankle and sitting slightly above the boot shaft so the boot tops stay visible. The photos also pair them with a vest layered over the waist, as part of a fuller outfit with other garments and accessories.[3,4,5]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Hooper Pant Ed: Choose this if you want a relaxed wool pant with tailoring details: the front panel shapes down each leg's centre, the back legs carry feature darts at the hem, and an elasticated back waistband is stated to add comfort. Multiple photo analyses show a relaxed, cropped silhouette that tapers toward the ankle, with front pockets and back patch pockets. Note it's dry clean only (P), and the waistband's stretch comes from the merchant's stated design purpose, not reported experience.[1,2,5] | Trio Button Pant Wo: Choose this if you want a black, high-waisted wide-leg trouser with an architectural wrap front: side panels extend from the side seams to the centre front, finished with a 3-button tab plus an inside button, fly front, front pleat, and insert side and back patch pockets. The wool/rayon/polyester woven has a smooth matte finish and soft drape, and it comes in sizes 0 through 6—note it is dry clean only, and only Black is listed as a colorway.[6,7] | Papillion Pant Pn: Choose this if you want a cocoon-shaped pant: the merchant describes a double pleat-front wide leg with dart detailing at the hem, and image analyses show a voluminous, tapered silhouette with elasticised ankle cuffs. The Embroidered Floral colourway is black with an allover raised floral texture (100% polyester), paired with a zip fly, elasticised back for comfort, and both insert side and back patch pockets, designed in Melbourne. Note it's dry clean only, and image analyses describe the hems as gathered/elasticated and cropped above the ankle.[8,9,10] |
