Island Pants.

Active socializing along boardwalk with notorious local characters (Jack Russell terrier that springs up amazingly and licks your face).

Chat with Mr. Moody about when the clothespins are coming in. (Is it possible to flirt with a 75-year-old gent? Absolutely.)

Later, beach inspection.

Lunch on the pier.

Lying on deck with a tinny of Foster’s, slap and gurgle of the tide against the hull.

The ideal pants for days like this.

Done up in linen(ditto the summer people). At ease in Gustavia or Molyvos, too.

Linen Drawcord Pant (No. 6441), cut comfortably wide but not baggy. Cropped straight leg pull-on pant, sewn-in tie belt with two belt loops. Elasticized back waistband for extra comfort. Low-calf length. Two side pockets. Imported.
