Recycled Polyester Essential Pant Milano Fit - Super Slim
This is a pair of men's dress pants in a Milano fit, characterized by a very narrow and slim leg through the thigh with a regular rise. Made from a stretch polyester-blend fabric created from recycled plastic bottles, the pants feature a flat front with center creases, slanted side pockets, and back welt pockets with button closures. The hem is unfinished to allow for custom length adjustment, and a matching jacket (style 12016-220780) is available.

Product Insights
The Recycled Polyester Essential Pant in Milano Fit delivers a super-slim silhouette that blends North American sportswear comfort with fashion-forward design, made from recycled plastic bottles using 30–50% less energy than virgin polyester. Stretch fabric provides movement, shape recovery, and prevents knee bagging, while wrinkle resistance and moisture wicking keep a sharp crease in wear and travel. Machine-washable and durable, it pairs with a matching jacket for a coordinated suit sold as separates, but the free in-store hemming essential for the narrow cut requires a store visit or an independent tailor.

Deep Research
Building a full suit with the matching jacket
- When paired with the matching jacket (12016-220780), the same super slim cut and identical fabric create a uniform, uninterrupted line from shoulder to hem — the garment-dyed recycled polyester ensures a true color match, and the stretch across both pieces means the suit moves as a unit without the jacket and trousers pulling in opposite directions when you sit or reach.
- Le 31 is designed in Canada exclusively for Simons, which means the Milano fit reflects a North American sportswear-influenced approach to tailoring — the regular rise keeps the pant grounded and comfortable, while the aggressive taper through the thigh and knee speaks to a younger, fashion-forward sensibility that stands apart from the more conservative cuts offered by traditional European suit brands.
- Suit separates allow you to independently select the Milano pant and its matching jacket in different sizes — if you wear a 40 jacket but a 32 pant, you can buy exactly that combination straight from the rack, bypassing the typical drop-6 limitation that forces many men into costly jacket alterations when buying a standard suit set.
- The recycled polyester's stretch ingredient is critical for a super slim silhouette: it permits enough give to sit, kneel, and stride without fabric strain, then recovers to hold the pant's shape, preventing the knee bagging and seat sag that typically plague slim non-stretch trousers after just a few hours of wear.
- The raw, unfinished hem is a feature, not an oversight — it allows your tailor (or the free in-store hemming service) to dial in your exact desired break, whether you prefer a modern no-break cropped look with loafers or a slight mid-break for a classic drape over oxfords, eliminating the compromise of a pre-set factory length.
- A super slim black trouser is the most versatile anchor in tailored dressing — it pairs seamlessly with a grey windowpane sportcoat for a sharp office look, a navy blazer for after-hours, or even a fine-gauge turtleneck for a sleek, minimal ensemble, while the narrow leg keeps the silhouette modern and boots-friendly under a topcoat.
Unfinished hem and tailoring options
- The free hemming service employs a blind-stitch hem, the industry standard for dress trousers, which creates a nearly invisible finish on the outside; on the pant's recycled polyester blend with stretch, this hem type flexes with the fabric better than a topstitched hem, reducing the risk of popped seams over time.
- A professional pant hem in Canada typically costs $20–$30 CAD at a tailor; Simons' inclusion of the service in-store effectively reduces the $125 CAD pant price by that amount, bringing it closer to a $100–$105 net for the tailored garment and making it a stronger value than competitor suit separates that require a separate hemming trip.
- The narrow hem opening of the Milano fit means any excess length stacks dramatically at the ankle; by having the in-store tailor mark the hem while wearing the intended dress shoes, the wearer can achieve a clean no-break or slight-break line that preserves the sharp, elongated silhouette—a quarter-inch too long and the fabric pools, a quarter-inch too short and the pant looks shrunken.
How recycled polyester performs as suiting fabric
- Polyester's molecular structure resists creasing, so these trousers maintain a sharp crease and smooth front all day and can be packed flat without emerging a wrinkled mess — a practical advantage over wool, which tends to hold wrinkles once set and often requires steaming or pressing.
- Hydrophobic polyester repels water and wicks sweat away, so the pant feels dry against the skin and noticeably lighter than wool — wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture before feeling damp, while polyester stays drier, making these suitable for high-humidity commutes or long flights.
- Recycled polyester fibers are as tough and abrasion-resistant as virgin polyester, resisting pilling and holding their dye through machine washes — unlike wool trousers that require dry cleaning, these can be washed at home on a gentle cycle, reducing upkeep costs over the suit's life.
- The fabric is derived from post-consumer plastic bottles, converting waste into wearable polyester — this production method reduces petroleum extraction and typically uses 30% to 50% less energy than virgin polyester manufacturing, giving the pant an environmental edge without sacrificing the crisp hand of traditional suiting.
- The spandex-blend within the recycled polyester gives the super-slim Milano cut enough mechanical stretch to move comfortably, and the fabric's elastic memory ensures it snaps back to its tailored shape — preventing the knee sag that can distort slim wool trousers after hours of sitting.
