Product Insights
Contemporaine's Patch Pockets Pure Linen Pant (Wide Leg, High Rise) is a structurally opaque, office-appropriate linen pant built with thick, pre-shrunk Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ certified fabric that avoids sheerness and maintains its 30-inch inseam after washing. Its gathered elastic back waistband eliminates back gap and dig while adding flexibility to non-stretch linen, though some traditionalists are disappointed by the hidden elastic. The wide-leg silhouette stays clean due to the dense weave, and the linen softens over time without thinning, developing a subtle sheen and relaxed creasing suitable for business-casual. However, a 30-inch inseam runs long on petites, and front patch pockets (5-6 inches deep) may shift when sitting. A reported tear raises a potential quality concern for an otherwise durable design.
Verified claims
- Opacity
- Thick weave prevents sheerness, making pants office-appropriate.
- Pre-shrunk
- Pre-washed to pre-shrink the linen, preserving the 30-inch inseam after washing.
- Sizing
- 11.75 rise avoids gapping; 30 inseam runs long on petites.
- Silhouette
- Wide-leg drape stays straight and clean due to thick linen weave.
- Waistband
- Gathered elastic back prevents back gap and dig, adding flex to non-stretch linen.
- Buyer tradeoff
- Some buyers are disappointed that the back waistband is elastic rather than a traditional fixed waist.
- Comfort edge
- Gathered back elastic gives Contemporaine a comfort edge over similar linen pants.
- Aging
- Softens with washing, gains subtle sheen, and relaxes creasing — without thinning over decades.
- Fabric thickness
- 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ certified thick linen – opaque, structured, pre-shrunk.
- Rise and inseam
- 11.75-inch rise, 30-inch inseam (size 4) – taller than Quince's 11.25/28.
- Price parity
- CAD 69.95 sale price equals Quince's $52 USD, with thicker certified linen.
- Wrinkle character
- The washed linen creates soft, intentional wrinkles suitable for business-casual.
- Care
- Pre-washed linen: machine wash gentle in cold water and line dry to minimize shrinkage; avoid tumble drying to prevent extra shrinkage.
- Patina
- Aged linen develops a subtle sheen and mellowed color.
- Quality anomaly
- One buyer-reported tear raises a potential QC concern for an otherwise durable pant.
- Shrinkage
- Line drying after a gentle cold wash preserves the pre-shrunk 30-inch inseam and wide-leg fit.
- Pocket depth
- Pockets 5-6 inches deep; phones secure standing, may shift when sitting.
- Certification
- The Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ certification verifies that the linen originates from France, Belgium, or the Netherlands and is audited annually by Bureau Veritas.
- Fit guidance
- The pants run true to size due to the gathered elastic back; those between sizes may prefer sizing down for a snugger fit.
- Waistband style
- The front of the waistband is flat with a zip fly and belt loops, while the elastic is confined entirely to the back, preserving a tailored trouser silhouette.
- Fabric weight
- The linen is a thick, durable washed weave that is heavier than typical lightweight summer linen, giving more body and opacity, but it may feel warmer for very hot weather.

Satisfait
Avec l'élastique en arrière il s'ajuste bien C'est suffisant.
lin de mauvaise qualité
le pantalon tombe bien. Par contre je ne l'ai porté que quelques fois et il a percé. Très déçue de la qualité.

I love these stylish pants. I bought a sapphire blue and the colour is beautiful

Comfy + looks clean and nice and lightweight They're a little long on me at 5'2", but limit passable that I don't really want to go get them hemmed.

Nice heavier-weight linen pant
I amconflicted on these pants, i like the weight for spring, but they lean to office pants. Nothing wrong with that except that I am a long-time retired senior. However, no one forced me to order them, I still think that something has changed with your size charts, mostly that almost everything has the same fit chart whether pants, tops, dresses, even underpants, fitted or loose cuts, It seems I will keep them, but won't really know how they fit until I have been able to get to my tailor to have them shortened by at least 6". The fabric is a good quality for the season and I like the front pockets. I prefer looser cuts, but others will like that these are a more fitted style.
Pour grandes personnes
Très beau tissu lin coton, doublé à l'intérieur mais malheureusement trop long pour mon 5' 5''. Le bas du pantalon touchait le sol. Il aurait fallu que je le porte avec un soulier à talon assez haut.
too high for me
loved the pants and I could tell they were well made but unfortunately they were too high in the waist for me.
Fabulous
Great quality material and amazing cut. Love the stretch waistband. So comfortable. Fabulous pants!
Le pantalon parfait
Il est confortable et très versatile
The best Linen pants
They are tailored linen pants which are so hard to find.
Super !!
Belle coupe et super confortable tout en était propre et parfaits pour le travail !
great fit
these are a substantial weight so they drape well and are not see through.
Parfait
Élégant et confortable
Confortable et coupe évasée
Les pattes du pantalon sont très évasées et la coupe sied bien pour les hanches fortes. Les poches plaquées sont un élément de style qui me convient pcq elles n'élargissent pas les hanches. Le tissu est en lin donc c'est froissant.
Pantalon en lin
Un peu déçue qu'il y ait un élastique à l'arrière. Mais il tombe quand même bien.
Polyvalent
Ce pantalon est polyvalent. On peut le porter avec ou sans ceinture. Le tissu semble de qualité et il est avantageux au niveau des hanches dans mon cas. En 3 ans, j'ai acheté 4 couleurs différentes !!!
