Once again, wonky Q measurements.

The smaller pants that I ordered during the show just arrived. They are too small. The jacket and pants that I ordered on Wednesday morning in my usual size are finally In Process. The pants are beautiful. I hope everyone ordered their usual Linea size.

The only Linea pants I ever sized down on were the pebble crepe crop pants from a few years ago.

I must admit to being a little surprised at how wonderful this linen-type fabric is. I am so used to bulky/bumpy linen, and this is so fluid. Can't imagine how they got it so right -- PERFECTION IN DESIGN AND EXECUTION is all I can say.

ITA-Gorgeous! I think I will dry clean these and not chance the washer at home.

Both linen items (jacket and pant) say dry clean only.

I know. Some items I still wash cold/ delicate at home. Not these beauties.

If you received any of the new linen pieces, does the tag actually say "dry clean only"? I guess I didn't catch that when the items were presented. I really don't want to dry clean anything, if at all possible.

I have a terrible time with pants and rarely order online. I took a chance on these and ordered in 2 sizes. Only tried on one and did not even open the other package for comparison. Not sure if they will wrinkle (seems like they will as just bending down to straighten them left wrinkles at the thigh) and I was not paying attention to the dry clean only. But I find them to be really itchy! Almost like when I wear wool. They are beautiful pants and fit really well. I am glad I took a chance. I will have to try them on again a few times to see if the itchiness subsides. The jacket is a DREAM! I am becoming a Linea convert.

I'm very happy! The jacket & pants fit as though made for me! I bought the twig, which is definitely my color, although I would love the black, too. I am about 5'3", a perfect small in jacket & 10P in pants. Just happened to have bought the Clark's Lexi Marigold, in sand, and they look great together!

My linen pants in black arrived and they are indeed wonderful! I am between sizes and sized down to the smaller one and it is snug at the waist but I think I can move the button over 1/2" and it should be ok then. I have to think about it and decide if they will be too confining around the middle for hot weather.

The fabric is very nice, a lightweight drapey blend, very pretty for warmer weather. I was shocked that I will not have to shorten these, even in flats, and I am 5'4". I like wider pants to be long, not ankle length, and these are the exact right length, look nice with about a 1 1/2" heel.

ceekay: Jockey Skimmies are your friend. Should help with itching from the fabric. They are sold here on the Q. Love! (note: they are not shapewear like Spanx,)
