The case for one really good trouser, made well, that you can throw in the wash. Holds its shape from the first wear to the hundredth. Works under a blouse tucked in or a knit pulled over. Elastic waistbands aren't a strategy. This is.
How does this differ from the Helen or Josephine Pant?
The Eloise has a fixed waistband with a zipper, a slimmer straight leg, and a 30" inseam, more structured than the pull-on Helen or wide-leg Josephine.
Will this shrink in the wash?
Machine wash cold to keep the fit consistent; avoid high heat in the dryer.
Are the back pockets functional?
No, they're faux, to keep the back clean and reduce bulk.
