Has anyone ever machine washed any cotton Lemaire pieces? The tags state Professional Dry Clean but I am wondering if a gentle launder would be OK.

I've washed poplin and chambray elastic pants that are both 100% cotton. Cold and line dry. No issues.
And then a lot of cotton/linen one pleats in the same way also with no issues.

@gettoasty how did those white denim work out for you? Are they as true white as Ssense and Barneys have them or more beige? And is it a relaxed cut?
Thanks

The show was okay, I think. My favorite piece? The pants Christophe himself was wearing when he went to take his bow with his partner. I'm not sure what those high-waisted slim fit pants are, if they're from his recent collection. None of the model shots seem to fit that way, although it could just be the angle...

I love those sneakers he's wearing. I regret hesitating on the white hi tops so much

I picked up the blue denim first but decided to return because 1) it fits small and 2) I'm not a big fan of jeans nowadays

i great alternative is this seasons indigo chambray Elasticated Waist pants...excellent!

Do you have those?
I have been looking at them but wondered what to pair them with. To me the fabric seemed to make it difficult for some reason. Not really a big fan of chambray, but then again my experience with the fabric only covers the typical kind of mid blue chambray shirts.

I had the same thought when I read chambray but the deep indigo color is excellent. Would be my go to alternative for wearing jeans basically. And I like the overall shape, mid to high rise, comfortable seat and not too severe taper. It's perfect with sneakers or loafers.

In your guys' experience, do lemaire trousers fit TTS? I purchased a pair of the navy wide leg ones, and found the waist to be quite large. I'm a 46, though i must size down for this particular pant. The reason I ask is because I preordered a pair of the one pleats for this fall season, and am now worried they'll be too large on the waist. Thoughts?

My waist at the hips measures 34", natural waist higher up is 32". Normal rise pants I usually wear size 50. In the lemaire one pleats a size 48 was correct for me and I wear them higher on the waist.
