Thinking about trying L’Estrange London? Here’s my honest review of this interesting new menswear brand.

With less, do more.

That’s what it says on L’Estrange London’s homepage. That’s the mission that led this young brand to create a “clothing system rooted in versatility”.

To that end, L’Estrange launched with a capsule wardrobe for men consisting of perennial basics like crew neck tees, Oxford shirt, quarter zip sweaters, and their flagship product, The 24 Trousers.

I’ve never chased trends, and I don’t participate in fast fashion, so I love this mission. It reminds me other TMM favorites like Everlane and ASKET.

So, in this unsponsored review, I’ll share my thoughts about these unique pants and show you how they fit on my 5’6? frame.

L’Estrange founders, Tom and Will

L’Estrange is trying to make men’s clothing that’s versatile enough to wear multiple times a week and high quality enough to keep for many years.

They also offer free repairs in an effort to extend the life of their clothing.

I fully support this mission, and for that reason alone, I recommend checking out this brand.

Of course, your clothes have to fit well and look good, so let’s take a look at what I tried on from L’Estrange.

My Build

For reference, I’m about 5’6? with shoes on and 125 lbs after dinner. I typically wear size 34 jackets, XS tops and 28×28 pants.

What I Tried On

Here’s what I’ve been able to try on from L’Estrange London so far:

  • The 24 Trouser Heavyweight (XS)
  • The Easy Zip Sweatshirt (XS)

L’Estrange 24 Trousers Review

I love a good pair of chinos. They’re comfy, more versatile than jeans and can be worn all year around.

L’Estrange 24 Trousers fit really well with a nice gentle taper through the leg (not too tight or too loose).

These slightly stretchy heavyweight performance trousers from L’Estrange check most of the right boxes:
