These are a French size 38, which is a US size 6. Pleas note, the cuffed hem on one of the legs has some threads that are coming apart (noted in last two photos). The tie pants are a tailored trouser with wide, flowing legs (cuffed hem) and a high waist. Woven from crepe twisted combed wool yarns, it is a fluid and structured material whose significant twisting of the fibers provides comfort and elasticity.
