Linen drawstring pants

Draw string pants are always easy to wear. I love wearing them since I don't have to worry about whether the waist fits well or not. (I know there are opinions that we should wear well-fitted pants or skirts so that we are aware of weight gain, etc.) I am all for comfort... 

These pairs are made with, yes again, 100 % linen IKEA curtain fabric. They are not the softest linen fabric one can purchase, but they are affordable. (I hear that IKEA stopped selling fabrics now? I haven't been to their store for a long time, so I am not sure.)

The blue pair is a pair of full-length pants with seam pockets on both sides. 

The second one is shorter. I wanted to experiment with the cargo pockets, but after wearing them for a while, I have to admit that I like seam pockets better. When I have a set of keys, they make all the noises in the pockets in the cargo pockets. Cargo pockets are nice for some things, but not for the keys. I thought about adding seam pockets, but I haven't gotten around to doing so.
