Tapered Flat Pant in Flax, Black & Indigo F416 1831 by Mela Purdie
A tailored finish with the ease of stretch Gravitene
The Tapered Flat Pant gives longer shirts and jackets a narrower leg underneath. The slightly cropped length works with loafers, pointed flats and a low heel, while the flat front lets you tuck in a shorter top.
Gravitene is a compressed memory-stretch micro twill with a soft, cotton-like feel. Made from 100% biocomponent polyester, it gives the leg a defined shape with stretch for movement. Elastic at the back waistband allows flexibility when sitting.
Why You’ll Love It
- A narrower leg for fuller tops. The tapered cut works beneath loose shirts and longer jackets.
- A smooth front waist. Wear a shirt tucked in to show the flat waistband.
- Give at the back. The elasticated back waistband allows flexibility through the waist.
- Side pockets. Keep a small essential close without carrying it in your hand.
- Australian production. Designed and made in Australia using Japanese fabric.
Styling Tips
- Wear Flax with a belted navy jacket and black flats, as shown in the photographs.
- Wear Black with a tucked black shirt and pointed flats, as photographed.
- Add a loose shirt and loafers for work, or a shorter knit and sneakers for weekends.
Choosing Your Colour
Flax: Wear with navy or black for contrast, or white and tan for a paler outfit.
Black: Pair with black for a tonal outfit, or use it beneath a coloured or printed shirt.
Indigo: Wear with white and tan for daytime, or a navy top for a tonal combination.
Choose Flax, Black or Indigo. Also available in Stone. Check each colour for your size.

What if I have received faulty items?
If your item develops a fault within 1 month of purchase, please email pip@weekends.com.au with your order number, a description of the fault & photograph/s showing the fault. We will send you a pre-paid postage label so that you can ship the item back to us. After the item has been inspected, we will decide if it can be repaired, or will need to be replaced or refunded.

Faulty goods
If the fault is minor, we will repair the item and return it to you at no cost.
If we can offer a like-for-like replacement, the new product will be sent to you at no cost.
If we are unable to offer a like-for-like replacement and you do not wish to exchange the item, we will provide a refund.
If the fault is major, we offer a refund, exchange or store credit. This is when the item:
- has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about the fault
- is unsafe
- is significantly different from the sample or description
differences in pattern placement to images on our website are due to standard manufacturing processes and are not considered "significantly different" and are therefore not considered a fault - doesn’t do what we said it would, or what you asked for and can’t be easily fixed
We will not accept faults caused by wear and tear, incorrect fit, or improper washing and/or drying of a garment.
