What customers say:

Customers overwhelmingly praise these linen pants for exceptional comfort and breathability, with most highlighting the lightweight, soft fabric as ideal for warm weather. The elastic waistband and heat-wicking properties earn consistent acclaim, and many note the material becomes softer after washing. However, sizing runs inconsistent—petite customers report pants too long, while others experience bagginess or unflattering cuts. Wrinkling is widely accepted as inherent to linen, though some find it excessive. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider them a worthwhile summer essential.

I have these linen ankle pants in every color. I like the straight legs, but still wide enough for linen pants. I do have to slightly iron them after washing, but not a big deal

Flattering, comfortable pants with roomy pockets.
Fit: True to size
So comfortable, and flattering. Ironing needed after drying in dryer, will try hanging to dry next time. I liked them so much, I didn’t mind the ironing.

I love both the linen and the chambray pants and have purchased 8 pairs over the last two summers. I love the quality of the fabric, but most important to me is the fit. I have a

Stiff and scratchy material
Fit: True to size
I love the fit and the pockets. The material is horrible. It's stiff. It's incredibly wrinkly (and difficult to smooth out). The waist drawstring won't slide because the material i

I am 5'4", but decided to get the petite because I wanted them to be more like capris than ankle length. They are comfortable elastic-waisted pants, but also have a slimming shape

Not for me
Fit: A little large
Ordered in several sizes, but couldn’t find a size that fits. Hips were either too baggy in a larger size or the rise was too short in a smaller size.

Keep the iron handy
Fit: A little large
The fit and feel are OK, but the garment comes out of the dryer in a wrinkled mess. You will need to iron.

Keep me cool.
Fit: True to size
Would like them to be a bit more versatile but the tie waist locks them into a more casual look. Have tried tucking the tie inside the waistband. Otherwise, they're comfy.

Love the color & the pants, but they run a little small if you like extra room. Size up. Linen is a little stiff as linen usually is. Vinegar to soften.
