Tapered Flat Pant in Navy by Mela Purdie
This is a PRE ORDER STYLE
It hasn't arrived at our warehouse yet, but we'll ship it to you as soon as it does.
The pant that replaces your everyday basic with a cleaner, more controlled line
The Tapered Flat Pant is crafted from Mela Purdie’s Flex Weave, a minimalist twill with a smooth matte finish that keeps the surface refined. The fabric holds its shape while allowing movement, giving the pant structure without stiffness.
The firm flat front waistband maintains a clean front profile, while the elasticated back introduces ease through the waist. The tapered leg and slightly cropped length create a more defined silhouette, making this a reliable option when you want something more considered than standard casual pants.

Faulty goods
If the fault is minor we will repair the item at no cost to you.
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 considered due to wear and tear, incorrect fit or improper washing and/or drying of a garment.
