Kenmare Relaxed-fit suit pant in Italian linen-silk blend

Comfortable, stylish pant, perfect for summer formal events.

There's so much to love about these pants. I normally fluctuate between a 31/32 and a 32/32 at J. Crew, and I'm very glad I opted for the 31/32 with these pants. For me, the fit is perfect, comfortable in the waist and seat, with a slight taper down to the hem for a timeless look. They're a more generous cut than the Ludlow, but more tapered than the Crosby pants I've had in the past. But it's the little details that really sell the pants, like the button closure at the waist and the pleats. They're technically suit pants, but they're one of my go-to items any day of the week.

I picked up the matching jacket on a deep sale a while ago and was waiting for the pants to restock. I wasn't disappointed! The Loro Piana fabric is wonderful, soft and moves very well. The waits fits true to size, and the leg has plenty of room for movement without feeling baggy or sloppy. It's bigger than the Ludlow, but not as wild as some of the bigger fits you'll see in current trends.

Easily the worst suit I've ever seen Jcrew sell. Sizing is slightly larger than the old Crosby line. But this suit isn't even lined—just the sleeves. For this price, the suit should be fully lined. Instead, you're getting one piece of see-through wool. Guaranteed not to last with that level of construction. The wool itself feels stiff, not soft in the hand. The only thing they got right is the color. Avoid at all costs.

First, the suit is more green (almost olive drab) than the picture which looks more brown in my opinion... but maybe I should have known since it's called "fatigue". Second, at a size 36 (my usual J Crew size) the pant felt almost slimmer in the waist than a Ludlow so I exchanged them for a 38 - when these arrived, they were so wide in the leg and seat it felt like I was wearing a clown costume. Now considering they were back ordered and arrived late, hopefully I can still return them in time for a full refund and forget the whole thing.

The light gray and white glen plaid is a somewhat lightweight and casual fabric. Be warned, the fit of these is quite baggy around the waist and through the legs. I regret purchasing my usual size and wish I could exchange them for 1-2 sizes smaller. Otherwise, the overall quality seems good for the sale price.
