Fabric and Fit
Fabric recommendations: The Palmer pants are designed for medium—to heavy-weight knit fabrics with at least 35% stretch. Fabrics like French terry and sweatshirt fleece will offer a sporty look, while Ponte will lend Palmer a polished touch. Sweater knits can also be a great option and can add a bit of texture to your wardrobe.
Fitting tips: The Palmer pants are fitted through the waist and hip with a wide leg cut. But since Palmer is constructed in knit fabrics its fit is forgiving.
