Product Insights
The Griffon Cropped Wide-Leg Pant from Vanessa Bruno combines a breathable cotton-linen blend with controlled drape and shape retention, featuring a mid-rise waist with belt loops that balances the mid-calf crop and A-line hem. Its oversized patch pockets replace standard 5-pocket denim for a workwear-inspired, dressed-up look, embodying the brand's Parisian chic. The main tradeoff is the 110°C ironing limit due to polyester pocket lining, but at $265 CAD, Simons offers a ~41% discount off the direct US price.
Verified claims
- Shape retention
- The cotton-linen blend resists bagging and provides controlled drape.
- Texture and breathability
- The 12% linen gives a dryer hand and slub texture, increasing breathability versus cotton-only pants.
- Ironing care
- Maximum iron temperature 110°C due to polyester pocket lining that melts at higher heat.
- Crop length
- Mid-calf crop clears flats and flatters petite frames.
- Waist and crop balance
- Belt loops at the waist provide a tailored anchor rather than an elastic or drawstring waist, balancing the cropped wide-leg silhouette.
- Sizing
- Take your usual size; the wide, flared cut is graded to deliver the intended volume without sizing up or down.
- Silhouette
- The wide-leg cut flares outward from the thigh into a subtle A-line hem, with large patch pockets at the back and sides.
- Fit
- Cropped to mid-calf; buy your usual size for intended drape.
- Pocket design
- Patch pockets replace 5-pocket construction for a workwear-inspired look.
- Pocket care
- Patch pockets require ironing at max 110°C due to polyester lining.
- Brand identity
- Patch pockets reflect Vanessa Bruno's chic and effortless Parisian style.
- Waist anchoring
- Belt loops allow a belt to cinch the voluminous wide leg into an hourglass-friendly silhouette.
- Brand heritage
- Founded in 1996, Vanessa Bruno's Parisian vision sets the Griffon apart from L'Agence and Akris.
- Design language
- Oversized patch pockets and wide flared cut replace 5-pocket denim, enabling a more dressed-up look.
- Value
- Simons sells the Griffon for $265 CAD, ~41% lower than Vanessa Bruno's direct US price.
- Material
- 88% cotton/12% linen blend offers breathability, controlled drape and shape retention.
- Styling
- Dry linen-cotton and patch pockets create a workwear look distinct from 5-pocket denim styles.
- Iron temperature
- Iron at 110°C max; hotter melts the 70% polyester lining.
- Stretch / elasticity
- The main fabric contains no elastane, so the pant is rigid with minimal to no stretch.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Griffon Cropped Wide-Leg Pant: Choose this if you want a cropped wide-leg pant with a controlled drape that the brand describes as working dressed down or polished up. It is cut from a soft 88% cotton and 12% linen blend with a mid-rise waist, belt loops, large front patch pockets, two back welt pockets, and a 23-inch (58.5 cm) inseam that ends at mid-calf. It comes in Hazelnut in sizes 38 to 44, and the retailer advises taking your usual size for the wide, flared cut.[1,2,3,4,5] | Cropped Barrel-Leg Cargo Pant: Choose this if you want a structured, cargo-style pant in a practical-and-sophisticated look: it comes in Mossy Green 100% cotton (with cotton lining), a mid-rise loose straight-leg fit with a 12 inch rise and a 26 inch inseam that ends above the ankles, plus large front and back patch pockets with visible topstitching. Note that the brand says this model has an oversized fit, so if you're between sizes, choose the smaller size. It's easy to care for—machine wash delicate at up to 30 degrees C, tumble dry low, or dry-clean.[6,7,8,9,10,11] | Caleb High-Waisted Barrel-Leg Jeans: Choose this if you want a relaxed, high-waisted barrel-leg jean with a subtly curved wide leg that adds volume and tapers toward a cropped ankle. It is made from slightly stretch cotton denim (98% cotton, 2% elastane) in a mid-blue wash with fading, and features five pockets, a zip fly with metal button, and contrast topstitching. The 25.5-inch inseam ends above the ankle, so it may not suit those seeking a longer leg, and the brand advises the fit is true to size.[12,13,14,15] |
