FAQs

Are these trousers true to size?

Yes, they are designed as a regular fit and are generally considered true to standard UK dress sizes.

Can I tumble dry these trousers?

It is not recommended to tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric elasticity; air drying is preferred.

What is the difference between the available lengths?

The lengths are categorized as short (25 inches), regular (28 inches), and long (31 inches) to help you find the best fit for your height.

Does the material have a lot of stretch?

The trousers feature a 'slight stretch' designed to provide ease of movement without losing their shape.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The side jet pockets are designed for a streamlined look and may not accommodate large modern smartphones securely.

Troubleshooting

Zip fastening feels stiff or sticks.

Ensure the garment is not being overstretched during closure; check for fabric trapped in the fly area.

Trouser length does not sit as expected.

Verify the inseam measurement (short 25", regular 28", long 31") against your personal preference and footwear choice.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage.

Use a cool iron or a garment steamer to gently remove creases; do not apply high heat directly to the fabric.

  • Multiple inseam lengths allow for a tailored appearance without alterations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of your trousers, always check the garment care label inside the waistband. As these are made from a polyester blend, it is generally recommended to machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle to preserve the fabric's integrity and stretch properties. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can break down the fibers over time. When pairing, note that the belt loops accommodate most standard-width belts. Ensure you have verified your UK dress size against the official Roman sizing chart before your first wear to ensure the waistband sits comfortably and the zip fastening operates without undue stress.
