Linen/silk pant suggestions?

March 19, 2021, 02:39 PM

I realize this will probably upset Pedro, our resident reincarnation of Beau Brummell, but does anyone have a suggestion for a source? My 35” inseam is usually more or an issue than the waist

Sorry but given your cut this begs to be answered.

You want these pants in white to sell ice cream in hot weather?

I have a pair of nice linen slacks I got off Amazon. They're great for travel, and hang dry easily. I often wear them on my trips to Arizona cause bluejeans don't cut it in that heat.

(But it's a DRY heat!)

I have a great pair of linen pants and shorts that I got from Banana Republic many moons ago.
Take a look there. Though I have not shopped there in a long time and can’t speak for current quality.

Sort of. I live in Miami Beach part of the year, now. Tropical weight wool, and linen/silk blends are the nicest fabrics for the climate.

A nice mojito is best for the climate....or a pina coloda.

I was going to say the same, I got a pair from there for a trip to Greece and then Bahama's years ago.

Spring inventory should be hitting the shelves between now and April so, keep your eyes open. Also check places like Tommy Bahama, Bonobos, Ralph Lauren and Nordstrom. Don't go too cheap, you'll likely end up with see-through fabric and lots of fraying, not to mention a burlap-sack feel.

I have no words. You are welcome.

(If you are wearing this stuff I do think you have the Brummell reference backwards though. Lol)

I think a matching Parasal would be nice to go with the outfit.

Whatever. Some of us prefer not to wear bib overalls.

Another vote for Tommy Bahama. I wore them for years at work. But for some reason when you retire they no longer fit.

Have you considered wearing a cape with shorts? I hear they're coming back in fashion.
