Description
We love wearing our Linen Samue. They look great, are soft to the touch, and are strong enough to last a lifetime.
Linen is a sustainable fabric made from flax fibers that has been used for 6000 years. Stronger than cotton, it holds its color longer than most natural materials.
We use 5.5 oz European linen, dyed and finished in the USA. Our Linen Samue are preshrunk to maximum 5% shrinkage, and can be dry cleaned or machine washed and line or tumble dried. Shrinkage will be least with dry cleaning, and most with tumble drying.
Samue (or Samu-e or Samu-gi) is traditionally the work jacket for a Buddhist monk or nun in Japan. And it looks great on anyone. Wear it to the meditation hall, the dojo, around town or working in the garden. The fit is quite roomy. The samue closes with ties and you’ll find it has a zippered outside pocket and a hidden inside pocket. And like all of our clothing and cushions, it’s made right here in Seattle. Whether working, meditating, or relaxing, we think you’ll love doing it in any of our Samue collections.
These match our Linen Samue Jackets, we invite you to feel free to mix and match. For more info about how to choose a samue, you may find this blogpost helpful.
“Samu” means “work practice” in a Zen community – these are the garment of choice for Japanese monks and nuns when they are not sitting in meditation doing the work of the day. That said, we think they look and feel great in the meditation hall. And whatever your line of work happens to be, we think you’ll love doing it in these pants.
Our Linen Samue Pants come in three colors – Gray, Blue, and Black.

Love these samue, I have been wearing them everyday. Perfect on warm humid days. This is a light and breathable linen, Excellent product
Beautiful fabric and looks well made and sturdy. Beautiful navy blue color.
These pants matched the jacket I purchased. The lined is of high quality and fits very well. I’m an extremely pleased with the purchase.
I live in the Raleigh NC area. Winters can be damp and cold, summers very humid and sweltering. My first samue was a heavier weight and great for winters. My new set is linen and is making summer sitting much more comfortable. Comfortable fit on both samues, sufficient pockets, sturdy and very adaptable. Folks at Still Sitting are very helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Superbly made, super comfy, wearing them constantly. So glad to have linen for the summer.
