Looking like a cross between trousers and a skirt, our Baggies are the most comfortable, popular trousers we have made to date, in 100% pre-shrunk linen, wool or Organic Cotton Jersey. Our customers tell us they "live in them". They will effortlessly blend in with your existing wardrobe, are practical (look at those HUGE pockets!), make you feel great AND confident that you will receive compliments whenever you wear them. The Jersey Baggies are fabulous for lounging at home but are also very wearable when going out AS WELL AS worn under your linen or wool Baggies in Winter.
They are available in 2 sizes and 2 lengths, measurements found in the size guide below.
So why the extra pockets low on the legs? Two reasons:
1. they add great swing when you move in them
2. they enhance the rounded balloon-shaped silhouette
(and for those who work with balls of yarn, they are great yarn bowls when on the move or when you are working with more than one colour!)
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
We follow our own sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress-sizes" does not account for body shape and height. See how The Slow Wardrobe sizes relate to body measurements HERE.
Trousers
These garments are designed to fit a very wide range of sizes and heights, from a UK size 10 to 28. Check these garment measurements to give you an idea of their dimensions. All trouser and skirt lengths are measured from the top of the waistband down to the bottom of the hem, along the side seam.

Custom sizes
We do everything we can to be truly size-inclusive. We can highly individualise your Layercake, by adapting the standard fit and/or choosing a non-standard fabric/colour.
Linen Care & Washing Instructions
Every Layercake has washing labels sewn into them, usually in the left side-seam. All our linen is pre-shrunk, unless stated otherwise and can be machine-washed at 40º C and either line-dried or machine-dried. If you machine-dry them, take them out of the dryer as soon as it finishes and hang them up straightaway, then you will not have to iron them.
Our Linen
Linen is one of the world's strongest textiles and most sustainable fashion choices, creating zero waste as every part of the plant is used (for textiles and food). Our linen is all European grown, yarn-dyed and woven especially for us, then boil-washed to pre-shrink it.

Wearability
Linen is not only a Summer fabric, it is also a natural insulator, providing warmth when it is needed and offering the perfect base for a layered look, trapping air between the layers to keep you cozy year-round.
