Moisture sensing ventilation flaps automatically open when needed

The entrance is unmarked - just a steel door beneath a Mayfair townhouse that opens onto concrete steps descending into London's wartime past. Down here, beneath the city's heartbeat, serious collectors assemble where daylight never penetrates and serious money changes hands without witnesses. Alex Trousers move through the electric tension with relaxed authority, breathable linen that stays cool whilst bidding wars heat the recycled air. The elasticated drawcord adjusts subtly as you lean forward, recognising the Basquiat that isn't supposed to exist, the Hockney that was reportedly destroyed, the Warhol that three governments would love to repatriate. When the auctioneer's gavel falls on a piece you've coveted for years - two point three million pounds for something that will never see a museum wall - you realise the drawcord has accommodated the deep breathing that comes with crossing lines you didn't know you'd drawn. The linen moves like liquid confidence through handshakes with people whose names appear in art theft databases. Some obsessions can only be satisfied in the dark. Feel Summer.
