ROPEGRAIN RAW PANT RG
The Ropegrain Raw Pant RG (style EM26-1710RG) is a unisex, drop-crotch wide-leg trouser made from a 55% linen / 45% cotton woven fabric in a Black/Sand colourway, and is a slightly narrower version of the label's classic Acton Pant. It features front pleats, a fly-front opening with a two-button closure at the centre-front waistband, an elasticised back waistband, insert side pockets and back patch pockets, and a raw frayed cuff hem. The garment is dry clean only (P), designed in Melbourne, and offered in sizes 0–5 at $499; slubs in the fabric are a natural characteristic of the fibres rather than a fault.

Product Insights
The Ropegrain Raw Pant Rg positions itself as an avant-garde artisanal piece rather than a tailored basic, with a rope-grained linen-cotton slub as the design focus and a drop-crotch unisex cut that delivers relaxed tailoring. Its core promise is a house-proven, Melbourne-made silhouette from designer Anthony Capon — front pleats, fly-front, and an intentionally raw frayed hem, all in a silhouette that drapes closer and breathes better than cotton chinos while holding its shape. The main tradeoff is commitment: it requires dry cleaning, snags easily on hardware, its drop-crotch shortens the leg, and at AUD 499 it costs $270–$359 above local linen benchmarks — a premium that goes into the cut and design lineage, not the fiber or handcraft.
Verified claims
- Hem evolution
- Raw cuff frays and sheds a few threads with everyday wear; the uneven edge is intentional.
- Fray control
- Fray Check on the inside edge or a narrow zigzag stitch inside the hem slows further fraying without changing the raw look.
- Care
- Dry clean only; steaming refreshes between wears and cold-water spot cleaning works if tested first.
- Snagging
- Ropegrain catches on jewellery, bag hardware and rough surfaces; snags ease back with a needle rather than cutting.
- Aging
- Linen softens and drapes closer with wear while pilling stays low, so the raw grain ages clean.
- Price position
- The $499 AUD premium over a ~$270 AUD raw-edge linen pant buys fly-front, pleats and waistband — not the raw edge.
- Material
- 55% linen/45% cotton slubbed plain weave with a corded, rope-like grain, soft and crease-resistant from first wear.
- Design intent
- The ropegrain texture is the design focus and positions the pant as avant-garde/artisanal rather than tailored.
- Drop-crotch
- Waistband sits at or above the natural waist; the crotch drops about 38–42 cm.
- Fit
- A slightly narrower drop-crotch than the Acton Pant, with front pleats and an elasticised back waistband.
- Volume
- Slightly narrower through the leg than the Acton; drop-crotch ease and roomy seat stay.
- Sizing
- The 0–6 sizing runs intentionally oversized on a unisex block; size down for shape, up for baggy volume.
- Rise
- Despite the drop-crotch, the waistband sits at or above the natural waist — a high-rise fit.
- Hem length
- Drop-crotch eats leg length, so shorter buyers should expect pooling or a hem alteration.
- House lineage
- Designed in Melbourne on ET AL's in-house pattern block — a 35-plus-year house, not a one-off.
- Price positioning
- At $499 it sits $270–$359 above Australian linen wide-leg benchmarks — the premium is in the cut, not fiber.
- Designer lineage
- Anthony Capon, a Project Runway Australia winner with a cult following, designed this pant.
- Brand heritage
- Et Al began as 1987 knitwear label SHOW.ROOM and opened under the Et Al name in 2006.
- Design lineage
- The unisex cut began with ET AL's 2013 menswear launch, made after male clients asked for the women's pieces.
- Relaxed tailoring
- Front pleats, fly-front and button closure anchor the tailoring; slubbed ropegrain makes the drape visible.
- Raw hem
- Raw frayed cuff reads as the ankle break; it sheds a few threads with wear, intentionally.
- Curated wardrobe
- The Flinders Lane store stocks Reinhard Plank hats and Valley Eyewear, so the pant is one piece in a curated wardrobe.
- Design ethos
- The house pairs relaxed tailoring with soft drapery, and the pant reads between avant-garde and a refined Australian cut.
- Local make
- Patterns drafted in-house at Collingwood; much of the production stays in Melbourne.
- Breathability
- Runs cooler than cotton chinos in warm weather; heat escapes up the wide unlined leg.
- Moisture management
- Moisture regain near 12% vs cotton's ~8.5% keeps sweat from turning clammy in humidity.
- Shape retention
- Wide-leg drop-crotch holds its shape through dry cleaning and wear; linen softens but cotton keeps it from collapsing.
- Value drivers
- The premium buys house-proven drop-crotch tailoring, fly-front, raw frayed hem, and breathable ropegrain — not handcraft or European linen.
- Melbourne make
- Designed in Melbourne, patterns drafted in-house, and a large portion of production stays in Melbourne.
- Color
- The Sand colorway is a warm mid-light beige-neutral — not grey or white; screen calibration shifts how it reads in photos.
