Michel Rouen pair

Two cuts in waist-by-length sizing from 30x30 to 42x34: a fleece-lined water-resistant pair for winter, and a stretch dress trouser with a zip pocket that reads as office wear.

This is the only shelf on the site where you order by two numbers, and it is the reason people keep a pair of these rather than making do. Pick the waist you wear and then the leg: 30 sits at the shoe on most men under five foot nine, 32 is the common one, 34 breaks properly on anyone tall. The winter pair is lined with fleece through the seat and thigh and shrugs off wet grass at eight in the morning, which is the whole point of them. They are warm and they are not quick to dry once they are properly soaked, and that trade is worth knowing before you order. The dress pair is the one that goes from a round to lunch without a change: stretch woven, a flat front, and a zip pocket so a phone and a car key are not sitting loose in a back pocket for four hours of walking.

Prices are the figures from our last update, and we refresh them on a schedule, which is the least glamorous part of the Michel Rouen rule book, and the figure at the till is the one that counts.

Questions about Michel Rouen golf pants

How the waist-by-length sizing works, which pair is the warm one, and whether they pass at an office without changing.

How do you order a Michel Rouen trouser by waist and leg?

Two numbers rather than a letter. The first is the waist, taken level and snug where your trousers actually sit. The second is the inseam, from the crotch seam to the hem. Both cuts run 30 to 42 in the waist, with the leg in 30, 32 or 34 depending on the cut.

Do Michel Rouen golf trousers stretch when you sit down in a cart?

Both cuts are woven with stretch in them, which is what lets you get into a cart and out of a bunker without the seat pulling. It is not the same stretch as a knit shirt. A woven trouser gives where it needs to and holds its shape everywhere else, and that is why it still reads as a trouser at a table.

Which Michel Rouen trouser should you take for a wet morning?

The lined winter cut. The face sheds dew for the first hour, which is the part of a wet round that soaks most trousers, and the lining through the seat is where you feel the cold on a walking round. What it will not do is come back quickly once it is properly soaked through.
