The Sepia Pants + Shorts have a clever design that blends style and comfort. Functional double pockets in the front are sewn to create a floating effect, with additional topstitched pockets in the back. A traditional elastic waistband is elevated with a fluted paperbag edge and optional drawstring.
- View A features barrel leg pants ending at the ankle, shaped with darts at the knee and hem.
- View B features wide leg, full-length pants.
- View C features shorts ending at mid-thigh.

Key Information
To highlight the silhouette of the pants, we suggest crisp wovens with some degree of structure, such as light- to midweight linen, cotton ikat, chambray, and broadcloth, or lightweight denim, twill, and canvas (under 10 oz)
For a flowy wide-leg version, try viscose, or viscose/linen blends.
