These are relaxed wide leg trousers in 100% pure linen from SAUTHS, with a top-stitched elastic waistband and deep side seam pockets. They are cut to a relaxed fit and are imported.

Brown is the harder linen colour to find and the more useful one to own — it does not show the creasing that pale linen advertises with every movement.

Questions people ask

Do brown linen trousers show creases less?
Darker and mid-tone linens show surface creasing less than pale colours, because the crease reads as shadow rather than as a line.

Do these have a zip?
No — a top-stitched elastic waistband.

How do I wash them?
Sensitive wash at 40°C or below, air dry only, no bleach. Dry cleaning is permitted.

Where are they made?
SAUTHS lists them as imported and does not state a country of manufacture.
