At the beginning of the 1940s, new uniform concepts were developed in the US armed forces. The "Monkey Pant" of 1944 was part of a new concept of the USMC. The aim was to provide soldiers with as much material as possible, hence the large and numerous pockets. The actual name of the trousers was P44 Trousers, but due to the somewhat unusual pocket arrangement, they quickly gained the nickname "Monkey Pant" among soldiers. This nickname has stuck to this day, and over the years the Monkey Pant has become a style icon. Since originals are now hard to find, Pike Brothers have brought this milestone in textile history back to life.

Pike Brothers was founded in 1930 by brothers George and Joseph Pike. Their small yet high-quality clothing store was located in the famous Portobello Road, Notting Hill, in the heart of London. Custom clothing for men was their specialty. During the Second World War they produced uniforms for American military forces. This was the time when American soldiers came over to England. Pike Brothers managed to combine the best materials with European craftsmanship and create the unmistakable clothing you see today. They simply struck a brilliant balance between American workwear and European expertise. A legacy that defines Pick Brothers to this very day.
Pike Brothers distinguishes itself by respecting and celebrating the original functionality of its clothing instead of simply aiming for superficial succes. All clothing is made in Europe and produced the old-fashioned way. Pure craftsmanship and the best materials add up to this stylish and timeless clothing. Pike Brothers is that perfect combination of style and functionality.
