Pleated Linen Trousers

[FedeU]

Embrace the wrinkled sprezz.

Indeed! If it looks like linen and it doesn't wrinkle something's wrong. Cheap fabric or... well, cheap fabric with some plastic in it.

700g (22oz). Linen. Pleats. Not hot. Very comfortable. Any questions?

Vey nice - great forward pleats. Who made that up?

 

[rs232]

Me.

Why do you tape the seam at the center waist?

 

[TheTukker]



Me.

Wow.

 

[FedeU]

Really? Did I understand you correctly? You made the trousers and, I assume, the brown linen suit?

Why do you tape the seam at the center waist?

Er, I don't know what you mean. Do you mean the centre back seam? If so, that's not taped.

 

[Despos]

Yes, cover the edge of the outlet with lining on the center back seam

The fit on those pents is fantastic, well done.

Don't know where you're finding 3oz linen - you know that's 90g/running metre, double width, right? Office paper is 80gsm = 120g/4oz double width. "Lightweight" cloth is 8oz/240g. And yes, it is truly 700g per running metre; I weighed the piece myself before I made it up. It is heavyweight, and yet runs cooler than 350g wool.

and that's why you always use proper units. 22oz can be anything from double width per yard to square metre. imperial units cause so much confusion. And yes, I have used 3.5oz/yd² open weave linen for shirting before.

I don't think the bulletproof vest my company issued me back in India was that heavy...

Actually, I think the imperial units are always measured based on a density of cloth per running yard. You never quote oz per metre. The quick conversion factor oz/yd -> g/m is 31.

Chris, the inlays/outlets down the CB seam are bound with some spare shirting. I always bind these two edges.
