Deep Research
Care and maintenance for long life
- A wet knit pant is heavy enough to stretch out of shape when hung, and even low-heat dryers can subject spandex to damaging spikes above its 40°C comfort zone — laying these pants flat to air dry maintains the straight, wide-leg silhouette, the 29.5-inch inseam, and the 12-inch rise exactly as they were designed.
- Spandex fiber permanently loses its elastic recovery when exposed to temperatures above 40°C (104°F), so washing these pants in cold water — 30°C or under — protects the spandex's ability to snap back, preserving the pant's thick, supple stretch and preventing the baggy, irreversible relaxation that hot water causes over time.
- Turning the pants inside out before a gentle or delicate machine cycle drastically reduces the surface abrasion that causes pilling, so the thick knit retains its smooth finish — the most effective thing you can do to extend the visual life of a polyester-spandex staple that's worn often.
- Fabric softeners leave a waxy residue that clogs polyester fibers' structure and degrades that supple hand feel, while powdered detergents can embed mineral grit in the knit — using a mild liquid detergent without softener keeps the thick knit from turning stiff or building up trapped odors, and preserves the pant's crisp black finish.
How the thick knit shapes the wide-leg silhouette
- Slant pockets in a knit often pull open or create hip bulges, but the thick knit’s heft stabilizes the pocket openings so they lie flat against the hip, letting the wide-leg line read clean from the front without interruption—a detail that separates this pant from thinner knit pull-ons.
- The 5% spandex content gives the polyester knit enough rebound to recover its shape after sitting, so the straight wide leg stays crisp around the seat and knees rather than bagging—essential for maintaining the polished silhouette through a workday.
- The 95% polyester base (with 55% reprocessed content) gives the thick knit a subtle sheen and a fluid, heavy drape that moves more like a woven crepe than a jersey; when the pant walks, the wide leg swings with a contained sway rather than rippling or kicking, so the silhouette stays relaxed but never sloppy.
- With a 12-inch front rise on the size small, the pant anchors at the natural waist, and the near‑cropped 29.5-inch inseam on a straight wide leg creates a deliberate vertical line that elongates the lower body—the thick knit’s weight ensures the line doesn’t kink or break through the hip and knee.
- A wide-leg cut in a thin knit would collapse or cling, but the ‘beautifully thick’ knit here brings enough body—typical of luxury pant-weight fabrics that drape with soft folds holding their shape—that the leg falls in a clean, structured column from hip to hem, reading like a soft trouser rather than a casual lounge pant.
Icône by Simons: brand background and market position
- Icône has built a reputation for launching Canadian designers — including Markantoine and LVMH-shortlisted Marie Ève Lecavalier — so buying this pant aligns with a retailer that invests in local talent and translates runway vision into everyday pricing, a story rare at $69.
- Simons has committed to producing 40-60% of its lines using recycled materials, and this pant's 55% reprocessed polyester content directly reflects that shift, putting a legitimately eco-conscious fabric choice within a fashion-forward piece at an entry-level price.
- Each Icône piece is designed exclusively for Simons in Canada, so this is not a mass-market import but a locally conceived product tied to the retailer's own creative direction and 1840 retail heritage, giving the pant a sense of Canadian design provenance.
- Icône is the most trend-driven of Simons' three core women's labels, contrasting with the youthful-entry Twik and career-classic Contemporaine, so this straight-leg pant comes from the line that prioritizes runway-inspired silhouettes over basics.
- Icône benefits from Simons' in-house team of 50 designers who attend fashion weeks and draw from European trends through buying offices in Paris, Italy, and Korea, so the wide-leg high-rise cut on this pant is not a by-the-numbers basic but a shape informed by cross-market fashion direction.
- The Icône line is engineered to deliver playful, youthful design at a more accessible price than luxury fashion — at $69, this thick-knit pant sits well below the cost of typical designer-driven pieces while still embodying the brand's trend-aware identity and in-house craft.
How the thick knit holds up over time
- At just 5% elastane, this pant gives only subtle, comfort-oriented give—the high polyester share (95%) ensures that the fabric holds its crisp straight-leg silhouette through all-day wear without bagging at the knees or seat, even after extended sitting.
- Thick polyester yarn is typically spun from longer fibers and set in a tight twist, both of which reduce the escape of fiber ends that lead to pilling; combine that with polyester’s strength (which keeps pills anchored once formed) and the dense knit construction, and this pant is engineered to maintain a smooth, pill-free surface through repeated wear and washing.

Thick knit pant

The pants are very well made, my only problem with them is the zipper double clasp, which is difficult to use. Still it won’t keep me from wearing them!

★★★★★Mélanie F.
Malheureusement j’ai trouvé le tissu un peu rude. Le pantalon n’était pas confortable. La coupe pourrait aussi être améliorée; les poches ouvraient dans les côtés.

Q&A
2 answered- Is the fabric fleece-lined or brushed on the inside for warmth?
- The product description describes the fabric as a 'beautifully thick, supple, and stretch knit' but does not mention a fleece lining or brushed interior. Since it is a knit, it likely has a standard knit interior, but we cannot confirm fleece lining from the available details.
- Are the pants opaque enough to wear without showing underwear through when bending or squatting?
- The fabric is described as 'beautifully thick,' which suggests good opacity. For the black color especially, we expect it to be opaque. However, we do not have specific customer feedback on this, so we cannot guarantee opacity for all movements.
