WAISTCOAT available as a separate listing
This is a short waistcoat that goes perfectly with these high-waisted trousers. The 1940s-style waistcoat has two piped pockets. The back is made of cotton with a beautiful tropical print. It is lined with acetate/viscose lining.

SIZE INFO:
The sizes are waist sizes in inches. To be sure, measure yourself first, as jeans and chinos often fit differently, so you may need to go up 1 or 2 sizes. When measuring your waist, make sure you measure high enough, just below the ribs is the right place. Take a tape measure or string and pull it tight enough so that it is comfortable. Or use a belt that you fasten at the right size and measure it to find the right size. Instructions for measuring can be found here:

LENGTH:
The inside leg length of the pants is 33 inches, which may seem short but corresponds to 36-inch jeans. There is also enough fabric in the turn-ups. To lengthen or shorten, ask for my blog for DIY instructions or find a tailor in your area to help. They usually charge around €15 to €20 for this. Before shortening them, I recommend washing them first. Although I test my fabrics for shrinkage, it may be different in another machine, depending on water hardness, detergent, etc. Always leave enough fabric to lengthen them if necessary.

MATERIAL AND CARE
Fabric: 75% linen 25% cotton, pockets 100% cotton

Wash with similar colors on a cold cycle with a mild detergent. Spin gently and pull back into shape (including the pockets, it'll make your life easier!) and lay flat to dry.

SUSTAINABILITY
The cultivation of flax plants for the production of linen generally requires fewer chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides compared to other crops, making it less harmful to the environment. It is known for its durability and long life. Linen garments last longer, meaning they need to be replaced less often, reducing overall consumption and waste.
