  New: The Linens

  In 2022, we introduced two items made with linen: The Short Linens and The Linen Shirt. Today, we introduce The Linens, our newest, breeziest trousers yet - ideal for sunny days and warm nights.

  The Linens are made of a blend of 70% high-quality linen with 30% organic cotton. This makes them comfortable, soft and airy, but also marvellously good-looking. The breathable character of the linen fabric makes this your ideal pair of trousers to wear on sunny occasions or during a warm summer evening near the beach.

  Linen, a naturally grown fibre derived from the flax plant, is water-saving & more environmentally friendly in comparison to cotton. The Linen we use is European Flax certified, which means it is cultivated in Belgium without the use of artificial irrigation methods and genetically modified organisms.

  Just like their shorter cousins, The Short Linens, these linen trousers are designed with the ultimate summer experience in mind. Because whoever said that trousers are reserved for the colder seasons has surely never tried on a pair of The Linens. Whether you’re kicking back on a balcony somewhere in the sunny Mediterranean enjoying a perfect cup of coffee, lounging on a deck chair with your favourite novel, or catching up with friends downtown, these perfect summer trousers are guaranteed to keep you looking and feeling your absolute best.

  Next to the elasticated waistband, The Linens come with adjustable drawstrings to guarantee the ultimate fit. On the back, you'll find two pockets with a classic buttoned closure and next to the right one our embroidered octagon logo. On the front side, you'll find all the details you might expect from us by now; the subtle MR MARVIS label and the hidden zip pocket for valuables in the right-hand pocket. The Linens come with a button closure and zip fly for ultimate convenience.

  With 9 stunning shades to choose from, ranging from the light blue Avenues to the dark grey Storms, there’s a style for every personality. Which one will you choose?

  Environmental impact assessment

  Since 2022, we’re working with BCOME to calculate the environmental impact of our products. On our website, you will find the environmental assessment of every product on its specific product page. We use these scores to determine reduction targets and to compensate for our emissions. The assessment scores every item on four variables: Global Warming, Water Scarcity, Eutrophication and Abiotic Depletion. We’ll quickly go through these different concepts and explain how to interpret each of them.

  
  Global warming

  This is the total of all greenhouse gases emitted throughout the supply chain, expressed in a CO2 equivalent. This impact area includes other greenhouse gases, like methane, too (e.g. from livestock). The total greenhouse gas emissions are translated into a CO2 equivalent. Note therefore, that the Global Warming score does not show direct CO2 emissions. It also includes other greenhouse gases and therefore gives a higher impact score than you would get when you only measure direct carbon emissions.

  Water scarcity

  This measures the impact of the water usage for a certain product, on global water scarcity. This impact score is measured by taking the direct water consumption and multiplying it with a factor dependent on the geographical location where the water is consumed. We do this, instead of simply counting direct water consumption, to give a more accurate idea of the actual impact of a product. This means that the score is not representing direct consumption. While a product might need 10 litres of water, the impact on water scarcity can be equivalent to the use of 100 litres of water. Because one litre of water used in a place where it’s much more scarce, means a much higher impact on global water scarcity than that same litre used in a place where water is abundant.

  Eutrophication

  Maybe a less known issue, but even so important because of its devastating potential, is eutrophication. This is a chain reaction resulting from the use of fertilisers and pesticides. These (chemical) resources protect the crops on the fields and help them grow. But when they trickle down into the earth, they finally end up in lakes, rivers and seas. There, it forms a feeding ground for bacteria such as green algae. The algae thrive under these conditions, which results in an abundance of green algae. As an effect, a thick layer of green pulp forms on the surface, covering it off from sunlight and oxygen, causing organisms underneath to die. In short, the use of fertilisers, pesticides and other chemicals that end up in nature can cause whole ecosystems to break down. We compare these scores with washing cycles, another - more familiar - practice that incurs eutrophication.

  Abiotic depletion

  This relates to the use of fossil energy sources. Although many of our suppliers are working on installing solar panels and other forms of sustainable power sources, there’s still a considerable amount of energy coming from fossil energy sources. Also the use of synthetic materials, such as polyester and elastane requires abiotics and therefore has an impact on this score.
