Product Insights
Contemporaine's Xl Pockets Pure Linen Cropped Pant offers certified European flax at roughly half the price of comparable certified linen pants, achieved through pre-washed fabric that feels soft and drapey while maintaining a thick, durable weave. The tradeoff is a hybrid waist combining tailored front zip and belt loops with a gathered elastic back, which provides fit flexibility but may require sizing down if between sizes.

Deep Research
How the price compares to other certified linen pants
- A zip fly with belt loops at the front combined with a gathered elastic back waistband creates a hybrid closure that maintains a tailored look when tucked in, while providing a forgiving fit for all-day wear — a detail that positions the pant as a true work-to-weekend piece rather than a pull-on leisure item and justifies its price against simpler elastic-waist designs.
- As a house brand exclusive to Simons, Contemporaine operates without wholesale markups, delivering this pant at a regular $125 CAD — a price that undercuts similarly certified European-made competitors like LUXMII’s Eos Cropped Pant ($209 USD) by roughly half while still employing the same tier of fabric.
- The current Simons sale price of $69.95 CAD marks a 44% reduction from the $125 regular price, a deeper cut than typical end-of-season linen discounts on certified fabric — this brings the pant below the threshold of most fast-fashion linen-look alternatives and makes it a high-signal buy for anyone prioritizing material integrity over brand markups.
- Masters of FLAX FIBRE certification guarantees European flax origin and quality — a mark shared with premium European brands like LUXMII (Eos Cropped Pant, $209 USD) — yet here it comes at a regular price of $125 CAD and routinely drops to $69.95 CAD on sale, placing certified linen within reach at a fraction of the typical asking price for this tier of material.
- Quince’s $42 USD wide-leg linen pant uses European linen but skips certification and a structured waist in favor of a full elastic-and-drawstring lounge design; Contemporaine’s pant, with zip fly, belt loops, and Masters of FLAX FIBRE certification, adds tailoring and provenance at a regular price that still lands below many mass-market fashion pants, let alone the certified competition.
Exact care instructions from the garment tag
- The fabric is described as a 'thick and durable washed linen weave,' indicating that the linen has been pre-washed at the mill to relax the fibers and minimize initial shrinkage, so the pant arrives with a soft, drapey hand and is significantly less likely to lose its shape or shrink unpredictably after the first cold-water wash.
What the Masters of FLAX FIBRE certification means
- The certification restricts flax to a band of coastal France (Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France), Belgium, and the Netherlands — the same region that, for centuries, has produced the world’s longest and most uniform flax fibres, so the linen in these pants starts with inherently stronger, smoother raw material than flax from other growing zones.
- Every link from flax field to finished pant is audited annually by Bureau Veritas under a chain-of-custody protocol, so the 'certified European linen' label is not a brand’s own promise — it is a traceability claim verified by the same independent certification body that 1,595 companies in 37 countries rely on.
- The 2025 version of the standard adds an auditable agricultural charter requiring soil analysis every five years, observation-based pest control, and reasonable fertilization, with Bureau Veritas farm-level audits starting in 2026 — so the flax behind this pant was grown to documented responsible practices that go well beyond a simple origin claim.
- Demand for the certification surged 807% from 2020 to 2025, reaching 1,595 companies across 37 countries — that scale means the pant’s Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ label is embedded in a well-established, actively maintained global system, not a niche eco-mark.

Bon choix
ll tombe très bien. Pour moi, il est plus long qu'un capri mais c'est ce que je voulais. En raison de vos questions, je suis lourde mais je suis une sportive avec une bonne masse musculaire.
Lovely linen
This is a very nice linen pant. I bought it in white and I really like that it has a lining.
Great pants, but small fit
Had to return because the sizing seems to be off. Fabric is perfect for spring and fall; a bit heavy for summer. Would have preferred the colour would have been called burgundy rather than dark crimson. As always with pants and midi/maxi dresses, way too long
My second pair purchased
Love these capris. Purchased my second pair in the crimson and the colour is gorgeous.
Parfait
Belle qualité bonne grandeur
Linen pant review
Beautiful quality linen and colour. There was no Petite sizing so I found them too long and a bit too big which required alterations.

XL pockets linen capri
I'm giving 4 stars because the pocket on the right side sticks out funny. I'm hoping it is from shipping and will flatten out once washed. I ordered white and there is a light lining which is great. My navy shirt does not show through.

Souple et confortable
Belle trouvaille
Enfin un pantacourt qui me va à merveille, tellement que j'en ai acheté 2 autres paires!
Nice material
Comfortable fit as there’s an elastic waistband in the back. Not too see through for white. Happy with my purchase.

High quality European mid weight linen also lined so it’s not see through. Fit is true to size. I’m 5,6 , 130lb

Super capri. Tissus de qualité. Couleur pourpre foncé magnifique. J'ai commandé la veste pour compléter un ensemble.
Not 100% Pure Linen
The pants are nice but the liner is polyester blend. This should be in the description.

Q&A
3 answered- How does sizing compare to other high-rise wide-leg pants? Is it true to size or does it run large/small?
- We provide measurements for size 4 (front rise 11.75", inseam 24.5"), but don't have direct sizing comparison data. The back elastic waistband allows some flexibility, so if you're between sizes, the smaller size may still fit. We recommend checking the specific waist measurement for your desired size.
- What are the care instructions? Is machine washing recommended, or should it be hand-washed to prevent shrinkage?
- Care instructions aren't listed, but 100% linen typically benefits from machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water to minimize shrinkage. Hang drying is recommended. For best results, we suggest following general linen care guidelines.
- Is the 'Navy/Midnight Blue' a single color or two different options? Could you clarify the available colors?
- The 'Navy/Midnight Blue' is a single color option—the name combines two shades to describe the hue. The available colors are Brown and Navy/Midnight Blue (as seen in the variant listing).
