Product Insights
The Slit Wide-Leg Pant from Édito par Simons is a quiet-luxury, Portugal-made wool-blend twill trouser with a deep side slit, offering structured drape, breathability, and stretch for comfort, but requires dry cleaning and is best for 5'5–5'8 wearers. It is part of a limited seasonal capsule, sold exclusively at Simons, and at $149.95 sale price it undercuts similar trousers by over $120, though dry cleaning adds recurring cost.
- Made in Portugal
Made in Portugal by family-owned factories with EU regulatory compliance.
Why this is supported
Production in Portugal subjects the pant to
strong labor and environmental regulations

compliance with labor rights and fair wages

roots going back centuries, built on family-owned factories

portugaltextile.com), enabling individualized attention. Édito by Simons further assigns categories to best-suited regions, leveraging Portuguese tailoring expertise for this wool-blend trouser.
- Stretch and shape
4% elastane provides mechanical stretch and recovery for comfort without sagging.
Why this is supported
The 4% elastane adds mechanical stretch that supports movement and shape recovery. Carderoclothing.com confirms that
the Lycra blend adds genuine functional value
carderoclothing.com, and nona-source.com lists stretch as a property. This stretch accommodates sitting and bending without pulling at the waist or sagging, preventing stiffness and creasing while maintaining the wide-leg silhouette.
- Drape
Wool-blend twill gives a structured drape that holds the silhouette and slit.
Why this is supported
The crisp character of the wool-blend twill provides enough body to maintain the wide-leg silhouette and the slit's clean edge, resulting in a structured, polished drape rather than a limp or clingy one.
- Breathability
43% wool content offers breathability that 100% polyester trousers lack.
Why this is supported
Catalog verified that the wool content in this blend offers natural breathability. For comparison, the Aritzia Limitless Pant, which is 100% polyester, lacks this attribute:
Content: 100% polyester
aritziaca.com. The 43% wool content thus provides better temperature regulation, especially at the sale price of $149.95 compared to $165 for the Aritzia pant.
- Design distinction

Why this is supported
The deep side slit is a feature absent from comparable options like Mango's pleated wide-legs, described as '
