Linen/Cotton Work Pants (Largeot) - Le Laboureur

Inspired by traditional 19th-century patterns, the Le Laboureur belt loop trousers carry on the clothing heritage of artisans and compagnons. A true benchmark of the classic work pant, they combine authenticity, comfort, and durability.

Crafted from a linen blend fabric (linen and cotton), they bring together the freshness and strength of linen with the flexibility of cotton, ensuring all-day comfort even during the most demanding tasks.

The ample half-balloon cut at the thighs guarantees exceptional freedom of movement, while the cinched belt loops provide strong support and easily accommodate a wide compagnon-style work belt.

With their functional design and timeless elegance, these trousers are appreciated equally by professionals and by those who value durable, well-crafted clothing with character.

Size Guide

French sizes are different from North American sizes, SO IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO MEASURE YOUR WAIST AND HIPS SIZE in order to choose the right size.

• The fit is snug at the waist, so make sure to measure both your waist and hips carefully.
  • The inseam length of Le Laboureur trousers is either 76 cm or 82 cm.
    • For heights between 1.50 m and 1.80 m (5’0” to 5’11”) → choose 76 cm
    • For heights above 1.80 m (6’0”) → choose 82 cm
    • If you are unsure, or if your size is not listed, please contact us at info.lacognee@gmail.com
• To measure your waist (classic/standard waist):
  • Place the measuring tape a few centimeters below the navel, where a classic trouser belt would normally sit.
    
• To measure your hips:

• Place the tape measure around the widest part above the hips, at mid-buttocks level.
• In all cases, keep the measuring tape snug but not too tight, and breathe normally to ensure an accurate measurement.
