The linen trouser has always lived a little in the shadow of the chino. Too often flimsy. Too often shapeless. Styled like holiday loungewear with elastic waists and drawstrings. We think that's a missed opportunity. Linen, done properly, is one of the finest warm weather fabrics a man can own. Malpe is our answer. Classic rise. Flat front. A clean line from waist to hem. Finished with YKK zips and genuine horn buttons.
Cut from the same mid weight European linen we use on our Belfast Blazer. Linen is a fabric steeped in history, with evidence of use going back more than 34,000 years. Strong, light, breathable, highly sustainable. We chose a heavier weave for a reason. Lighter linens crumple into a misshapen mess by mid afternoon. This one holds its fall, drapes cleanly through the leg, and settles wrinkles in as character. Garment washed for a soft, lived-in feel out of the box.
Built for the long, warm stretch of the year. Wear it with a white tee and sneakers on the weekend. A crisp oxford and loafers for the office. An untucked linen shirt at dinner. Add our Carnaby Harrington or Belfast Blazer over the top for a matched linen set. On the clock or off. In or out. Malpe moves with you.
