These are tailored wide leg trousers in 100% linen from SAUTHS, with front pleats, a concealed zip closure and side seam pockets. They are cut slim through the hip and wider through the leg.

Dark blue is the linen colour that behaves most like a suiting fabric — deep enough to pair with black, warm enough not to read as navy uniform.

Questions people ask

Do these have pockets?
Yes — side seam pockets.

Can I machine wash linen trousers?
A sensitive wash in lukewarm or cold water up to 40°C. Do not machine dry, and do not bleach.

Does dark linen crease less?
Darker linens show surface creasing less than pale ones, because the crease reads as shadow rather than as a line.

Do they have a zip?
Yes — a concealed zip closure, unlike the elastic-waist Kim and Georgina styles.
