Product Insights
This Cotton-Linen Pant in the reykjavik fit uses functional pleats to provide added thigh room and eliminate $15–25 tailoring costs, while its true navy color with cool undertone and refined taper allow seasonal transition from summer to winter layering. The 50% recycled cotton and 50% linen blend offers softer texture than pure linen, breathability from hollow linen fibers that wick moisture and dry quickly, and environmental savings in water and pesticide use. However, linen naturally wrinkles at the knees and seat, requiring misting or steaming to relax creases, and machine washing on cold with line drying is necessary to preserve pleats and minimize shrinkage.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Brand recommends usual size; size up once if between sizes or prefer looser fit.
- Pleats
- The front pleats are functional, providing added thigh room.
- Seasonal versatility
- Dark navy color and refined taper allow seasonal transition from summer to winter layering.
- Fit
- The Reykjavik fit is tapered with pleats, straight through the thigh and slim at the ankle, and runs true to size.
- Pleat care
- Fold along pleat lines or clip-hang; steam press with cloth to maintain crease.
- Texture
- Softer off the hanger than pure linen thanks to the recycled cotton, with an uneven, slubby surface that reads as artisanal; the fabric gains a softer, more fluid drape with wears and washes.
- Breathability
- Hollow linen fibers wick moisture and circulate air, drying faster than cotton and reducing clamminess.
- Navy shade
- True navy with cool undertone, not blue-grey, akin to a classic blazer.
- Price position
- Sale price $49.95 buys features of $100+ pants and recycled cotton without upcharge.
- Cost savings
- Save $15–25 on alterations and $4–6 per cleaning with washable pleated pants.
- Environmental footprint
- 50% recycled cotton and 50% linen blend cuts water and pesticide use over virgin cotton.
- Pleat pressing
- Steam iron with a press cloth and a vinegar pretreatment preserve pleat creases.
- Wrinkles
- Linen naturally wrinkles at the knees and seat; these wrinkles are a hallmark of the fabric and release within minutes after misting with water.
- Machine washing
- Machine wash gentle cold and line dry to minimize shrinkage; avoid high heat because tumble drying on low may cause slight shrinkage. Gentle handling also helps the recycled cotton.
- Fit comparison
- The Reykjavik fit is tapered with pleats, straight at the thigh and slim at the ankle; the Stockholm fit is also pleated but slimmer overall, while the Oslo fit is straighter and more relaxed.
- Sustainability
- The recycled cotton-linen blend reduces water and pesticide footprint compared to virgin cotton and keeps textile waste out of landfills.
- Inseam length
- The inseam runs on the shorter side; one 5'8" buyer found it nice but close to being too long.

| Cotton-Linen Pant Reykjavik Fit - Tapered With Pleats: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable warm-weather pant: it blends 50% linen with 50% reprocessed cotton and comes in a tailored Reykjavik cut that is straight at the thigh, slim at the ankle, and finished with single pressed front pleats, belt loops, diagonal side pockets, and two welt back pockets. Note this listing's variant is size 30 in Navy/Midnight Blue, and the linen blend naturally shows texture and creasing rather than a crisp finish.[1,2,3,4] | Pleated Chinos Reykjavik Fit - Tapered With Pleats: Choose this if you want a tapered pleated chino in Le 31's Reykjavik fit, which is straight at the thigh and slim at the ankle with front pleats that create extra volume. It suits shoppers who prefer a matte, smooth-finished pant in a soft stretch twill of 66% reprocessed cotton, 32% TENCEL lyocell, and 2% spandex, offered in sizes 28 through 38 and four colors including Black, Ivory, Chocolate/Espresso, and Brown. Note that the prominent front pleats and fullness may not appeal if you want a flat-front look.[5,6,7,8] | Lightweight Weave Pant Amsterdam Fit - Relaxed & Tapered: Choose this if you want Le 31's Amsterdam fit — a relaxed, tapered cut that sits straight at the thigh and slims at the ankle — in a lightweight weave with a subtly satiny feel.

It comes in Black, Sand, and Navy/Midnight Blue, though sizes vary by color.[9,10,11] |

Exactly what I wanted
I find Simons house brand is either hit or miss but this one is a hit. Love the pleats and construction of these, a little loose but soft and airy. I'm 5'8 so the shorter inseam is nice but so close to being too long. I'm a 33 waist and unfortunately they don't come in 33. The 32 was too tight at the waist but everywhere else it fit perfect. I opted for the 34 which is fine with a belt and is looser and falls just a little longer than I'd like, hopefully it shrinks a tiny bit in the wash.
