If you’ve made it this far, you clearly have good taste. The Linen Trousers? Excellent choice. You’re going to love them.

Now, let’s make sure they stay looking sharp for as long as possible.

We’re not all built the same—we know as much.

Height, leg length, hip width... there’s a lot going on. And while we design our clothes to fit as many people as possible, we can’t guarantee a perfect fit for everyone.

That’s where a good alterations specialist comes in.

A couple of easy fixes:

• Too long? Get them hemmed to your ideal length—whether you’re after a classic hem, a sharp Italian-style cuff, or a cropped ankle-length look. Should cost around 15€.
• Waist too loose or tight? A tailor can tweak it for a better fit. You won’t be able to jump up or down two sizes, but a little adjustment makes all the difference—expect to pay about 20€.

Want your Linen Trousers to stay looking good? The golden rule: Hang them up properly every time. Yes, they’ll get a few creases—it’s linen, after all—but keeping them on a hanger helps limit the worst of them. And if any stubborn ones remain, a quick press with a hot iron will sort them out.

Spilled something? Act fast. A bit of warm water and natural soap should do the trick.

Linen Trousers are not made for the washing machine. Take them to the dry cleaner’s when they need freshening up—same as the jacket. Should cost around 15€.

And again—clean your whole suit together. Mixing up cleaning cycles between your jacket and trousers can cause uneven fading.

One last tip: Always check your suit before you leave the dry cleaner’s. If anything’s gone wrong, it’s their responsibility to fix it. But once you’re out the door, it’s on you.

Since 1 January 2024, the New French environmental legislation known as The AGEC Law stipulates transparency from our lot in the fashion industry so that you can make an informed purchase. As you can imagine, this is something that we fully support at Asphalte. So here's some additional information about our Linen Suit Trousers:

• They’re 100% recyclable after being dismantled, which means that the day their services are no longer required every component can be fully recycled. If you stop wearing them for whatever reason, you might want to consider making someone else happy by passing them on to a friend, family member or donating them to a charity. The best way of reducing an item of clothing’s impact is by keeping it in circulation, and only recycling it when there really is no life or use left in it.
• No microplastics are released during washing. Unlike many garments, our Linen Suit Trousers have been designed to not release any microplastics. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles of plastic that are released when worn or washed and have a negative impact on aquatic and land ecosystems.
• They do not contain any hazardous materials. They’re manufactured in compliance with strict standards aimed at eliminating the use of harmful substances and other chemical nasties.
• They do not contain any recycled materials. We try to incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the Linen Suit Trousers.

Look after your Linen Suit, and it’ll look after you. Treat it well, wear it often, and enjoy looking sharp.
