Linen trouser recommendations for a tall man

[Simon Chambers]

Hello, fine people of SF!

I've been looking around for linen trousers for the summer, and have found that most companies that I look at generally only seem to go to about a 32" inseam. I'm 6'4" (195cm) and generally wear a 34" inseam on my trousers. I'd like my linen trousers to have that inseam as well, but haven't had much luck in finding RTW in that length. Any brands/advice is appreciated!

Greetings fellow tall. I'm 6'5 with a 34" inseam, and finding trousers of any kind is always a struggle if you happen to be broad of beam as well as tall. I live in a hot/humid climate so linen is an ideal material. Unfortunately I haven't found a lot of MTM options but I've been relatively lucky with this Etsy seller:

PatisLine - Etsy

Shop Linen & woolen ethically made unisex organic clothes by PatisLine located in Kaunas, Lithuania. Smooth shipping! Has a history of shipping on time with tracking.

The linen is somewhat coarse but they do custom work in a variety of colors for not a substantial upcharge. There is certainly finer linen, but honestly it's not a major problem. I wish you luck and will monitor this thread for any insight into future trouser purchases.

Thanks for your recommendation! I'll definitely take a look.

You need to shop for unhemmed trousers, then visit a tailor to have them finished to the proper length. Generally speaking, pre-hemmed trousers are aimed at the low to moderate segment of the market with fabric quality commensurate.

Thanks. I have looked at unhemmed, and found a few places like Proper Cloth that have linen trousers, but I'd prefer not to be in the $300+ range for trousers if I can avoid it. The budget only stretches so far!

Spier & Mackay sells 37”, unhemmed trousers and currently has a good assortment of linen pants. While their prices have increased, they are quite reasonable. Read through their thread here, as they’ve been experiencing some customer service issues of late.

Luxire is an affiliate vendor here that I've had a lot of success with. They'll make to any specifications you want and have a variety of linen fabrics. They also have "linen cotton canvas" which I'm a big fan of and wear here in the south east. They hold their shape better/wrinkle less than 100% linen but are very breathable.

Thanks, all, for the recommendations! I've been looking at Spier & MacKay, and follow their thread already. I'll take a look at Luxire and for B&M establishments too.

Another great option (perhaps a bit higher quality than S&M and with faster shipping) would be London-based, Natalino. ”Long” sizes come unhemmed at 37.5”. Very good quality and pricing. They’re currently having a 40% sale on linen trousers (with an addt’l 20% off--use EXTRA20).

I took a look at those, but they are all way too small in the waist for me (at least what is there on sale). But I'll definitely keep them bookmarked and look out for them!

Try Kit Blake. Also unhemmed and likely long enough.

Isn’t most RTW unhem standard like 36+in? A ton on eBay from PRL, RLPL I would think. Even Jcrew probably has unhemmed suit trouser sold as separate ?

Kit Blake seemed more than the op hoped to spend (and not much in the way of linen). Maybe Cordings? A few basic colors but still budget friendly. That’s all I got.

Many thanks to all who made suggestions in the thread! I have ordered 2 pairs from Luxire. The first pair is with my local tailor getting a few minor alterations, and Luxire is making the second pair with updates from the fit of the first pair. I'm looking forward to being able to wear them this summer as the heat has already begun to arrive last week.
