The Ilona Light Pant - an ELK classic, now offered in the bold Navy Ligheten Print. The Ilona Pant is crafted from French linen and loved for its considered fit: incorporating front tucks, a flat front waistband with an internal waist tie, and back waistband for comfort. Pair the Ilona Pant with the Eryn Top for a statement look, or style simply with the Mytr Tshirt for the everyday. Note that French linen will have small surface inconsistencies called "slubs" which are common in this natural fibre.
100% French Linen
Linen is a light, breathable fabric that is durable and strong. It wrinkles easily which is part of its appeal, it is easy to care for and becomes softer with age and wear.
Linen is a natural plant fibre, grown from the flax plant. The crop itself is naturally pest-resistant and requires minimal water to grow, meaning it demands fewer resources than crops such as conventionally-grown cotton.
Linen grown in France follows more traditional methods of growing and processing. For example, the crop is stripped back to prepare it for textiles using a dew-retting process. Dew-retting makes use of natural sunlight and dew to soften the crop, rather than using intensive chemical or water processes.
Manufacturer: Jimmy Fashions
Fabric Mill: Tongling Worldbest Linen & Ramie
We have been working with Jimmy Fashions since 2010. They are a smaller, independent supplier with a focus on design and quality, and this is one of our longest standing supplier relationships. With owner Jimmy Shen and his team working closely with our Design and Production departments, this family-owned business has grown with ELK and now supplies much of our woven apparel.
In early 2024, the Jimmy had solar panels installed on the rooftop of the factory, to help provide renewable energy for their operations. The factory also undergoes annual SMETA social compliance audits, which are conducted by a third party and provide transparency into worker wellbeing and wages.
We have been sourcing our linen fabric from Tongling Worldbest for many years. This fabric mill is certified under the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances.
The Illona Pant is a pronounced wide leg cut. The generous waist can be adjusted with the internal waist tie, disguised by the front waistband that lays flat against the body. Some like to size down in this style
The key fit points of the garment are the waist and hip.
All garments are measured flat (not on body) and then doubled (except the length) to calculate the total circumference. To work out what size will suit you best, flat measure an item that fits you well and use this as a guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
