I checked, and as I thought, the inseam for the cotton sateen pant is 26 inches which is more of a crop pant.

……………………….The BLACK COTTON SATEEN BLAZER, A254575…… is pure LINEA…….a CLASSIC……………….You know this jacket…….If you own the A201016, Leopard print Cotton Sateen jacket, which many many of you do……then you know the look and fit of this NEW blazer………….There  are differences……the Leopard print was fully lines…sleeves too…………For this new version I have chosen to line the FRONT ONLY…..WHY?….because in this quality of cotton sateen, which is the same as the Leopard  print, it is heavy and dense enough that it doesn’t require a full lining. I felt doing it this way gives the jacket a LONGER LIFE…..something you would consider wearing in the summer months. I lined the front because of the band pocket and pocket bag. The lining keeps the inside front of the  jacket clean. Many expensive designer jackets are done this way. The reason is not to save money, but as an intrinsic part of the design and the practicality and comfort of not lining it…………The other feature that is different from the Leopard jacket is…..the new jacket has LONG SLEEVES….with a two button finished turn back cuff….so the sleeve length should not be a problem even if you have short arms. All of the buttons are DTM [dyed to match], and all of the body seams, lapel, collar and front plus the cuffs are top stitched for a very finished and “designer look”…….The fabric, again which many of you own, is a superb quality of 98% cotton and 2% spandex. It is a CLEAN, CRISP, SUMMERTIME JACKET….that you will wear year after year after year……It is machine wash, but I will always recommend dry cleaning a well tailored jacket to maintain that crispness and  for a longer life. If you are inclined you can buy two white jackets…..one to launder and wear as an everyday jacket to be worn very casually….the other dry clean for a more dressed and crisp look………….The color above is………..BLACK……….is there anything really better than……BLACK & WHITE! In all of the photos above I have chosen to feature the new BLACK BODYSUIT, A254576….but any black tank will work…..I particularly like my ENR WK tank in black, A253408,  because it has such body to it……For bottoms I have the white Boho, a70208, which unfortunately is sold out, but in June you will be able to get my long asymmetrically hemmed white gauze skirt, A255139, which will give you the same look….Also above is my BLACK & WHITE PRINTED CROP PANT, A253573, the WHITE COTTON SATEEN PANT, A254640, which is also in the BLACK FOR A SUITED LOOK, and the new light weight JERSEY SKIRT, A254438, which is called black, but actually, due to the very fine stripes, becomes a silver  gray…………….However you chose to wear it….I am sure it will become a mainstay in your summer wardrobes……………………..

Who doesn’t LOVE A CLEAN WHITE BLAZER in the SUMMER???? It virtually goes with anything and everything……..from solid bottoms of any color…..my YELLOW and AQUA JEANS to my LINEN BLEND TROUSERS in the BLACK, LAPIS or TWIG….all kinds of skirts and most prints will work with a white jacket……If it’s time for you to pick up a FRESH CLEAN WHITE BLAZER……this is it…….I don’t know how that little picture of the black blazer snuck in!?……….scroll down…………………………………………………………….enjoy………………..much Love………………………………………….Louis

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,DARK TAN FORM HEAD TO TOE…….is……..the epitome of……………..SUMMER CHIC………………………The BLAZER, A254575….THE PANT, A254640, THE DARK TAN WK V-NECK TANK, A233942, and THE DARK TAN WK CARDIGAN, A233940, tied over the shoulder…..just for effect…….is a wonderfully SOPHISTICATED LOOK……….To complete the look I have added the LOVE KNOT 18 inch necklace, J270121, the 36 inch LOVE KNOT necklace, J270122, and the CHAIN HOOP, J267610, pierced or clip……….all in ROSE GOLD…….all available…….I must say…I’m not a huge fan of rose gold, but I know many of you like it….I also must say it really looks GREAT with the DARK SUNTAN…..so never say never………Besides the column of Dark Tan….it is a great color to mix with many other colors…..BLACK…WHITE….TURQUOISE…BUTTER YELLOW….PALE PINK…LIME…HOT PINK….OLIVE….etc etc etc……think of DARK TAN as your new khaki…………..scroll down………………………enjoy…………. much love……………………………..Louis

The COTTON SATEEN PANT, A254640, comes in all of the colors of the jackets already mentioned………………..BLACK………WHITE [unlined]…………DARK TAN…..to match…..to mix…..to wear as a great  summer separate pant. Three very practical useful colors……With all of your WK sweaters and so many things you have collected over the years, these pants will bring a new freshness to your wardrobe. Above. I have the BLACK PANTS with the AQUA FEATHER JERSEY separates…the big shirt and tank…..the WK V-NECK in BLACK with the WK BLACK CLASSIC cardigan …..a must have sweater set…is with the WHITE and DARK TAN……The pant has a zip front with a button…..an elastic waist band, and I believe a 26 inch inseam, but I’m not 100% positive about that…..check the click here measurements when the pant is posted….it is definitely not a full length pant…well maybe for my petites it is…..The leg opening is 6 inches so it is quite tapered……………….It is very important for my super tall Linea Ladies to see where this pant will hit you on your leg. I say this because the leg opening is 6 inches and if the pant hits you at your calf….it may be tight….If it is a tailor can open the bottom and create a small slit….if you are so inclined…..I thought I should be upfront so you are not disappointed later……for most of you there will be no problem………………………………………………………………..enjoy……………………….much Love………………………………………..Louis
