The pants are very full, brown 100% medium weight linen harem pants. I used them last year, and they are super cool, and very comfortable. I love the texture of the linen as compared to modern cotton. The linen isn't rough by any means but it has a bit more depth. I find most cotton too smooth and modern looking for my tastes. We are supposed to stay away from jewel tones because a group of the scenario characters wear super crazy bright outfits. I just work at the front gate.

I'm still in the market for some nice Renaissance striped fabric for a ghawazee coat, and a brocade type fabric for covering a bra and a choli top!

Thanks!

Rachel
