The Daily Linen — Relaxed Drawstring Trousers
The trousers you'll wear three times a week, all summer.
Cut from a heavyweight European linen that drapes like a £200 pair but moves like joggers. The Daily Linen is the only pair of trousers you need from May to September — for the office, the airport, the rooftop, and the long walk home.

Built to be worn — not babied:
- 100% pre-washed linen — soft from day one, no break-in needed
- Elasticated waist with internal drawcord — fits true after Sunday lunch
- Deep side pockets that actually hold your phone
- Tapered leg that flatters without being skinny
- Ten colourways — Navy, Black, Khaki, White, Army Green, Coffee & more

The fit
Relaxed straight · Sits at natural waist · Ankle break
FAQ
Will it wrinkle? — It's linen — it will. That's the point. The wrinkles look intentional.
True to size? — Yes. If between sizes, size down — the elastic waist gives.
Will the colour fade? — Pre-washed dye process — colour stays true after 30+ washes.

How to Measure Yourself
For the most accurate fit, use a soft tape measure and wear well-fitting underwear. Stand naturally — don't suck in or stretch up.
- Bust / Chest: Measure around the fullest part, tape parallel to the floor.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist — the narrowest point, usually about 2.5 cm (1") above your belly button.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually 18-20 cm (7-8") below your waist.
- Inseam (for trousers): Measure from your crotch to your ankle bone, along the inside of your leg.
