Wash test of the Sawyer linen pants from LOFT. Washed cold, hung to dry. Shown dry but not steamed so you can see how they wrinkle in the wash. They shrunk an inch in length (now 26.5”) You can often pull on pieces as you steam them to lengthen them a little bit again, but the shrinkage is often there with 100% linen. As you buy linen pieces keep that in mind that the initial length could shorten over time and the fit may get smaller.
