About Us
Chalky Trousers is a modern cue-sports brand built from the ground up by players who live and breathe the game. Born from a frustration with the ordinary, it exists to give something back to the pool community that shaped it. The aim is simple. Make products that feel right, look right, and help make pool more accessible to everyone who loves the table.
Every Chalky Trousers product is created with a player’s mindset: functional, premium, and built for real use. From custom cue towels to limited-edition apparel, each piece reflects the attitude of today’s cue-sports scene - confident, creative, and rooted in community.
Chalky Trousers is also about supporting mental health in cue sports. Pool is where many people switch off, connect, and find their space. The brand actively stands for making it okay to talk, feel, and support one another, both on and off the table.
What started as one player’s idea has grown into a movement. Chalky Trousers now partners with leading players, clubs, and retailers across the UK, proving that cue-sports style can be sharp, authentic, and unmistakably original.
Chalky Trousers - for people who take their pool seriously (even if they don’t always take themselves too seriously).
The players, clubs, ambassadors, and product partners we work with and trust.
We work alongside a carefully selected group of players, clubs, and brands who share our values of quality, community, and respect for the game.
