Linen trousers - best place to buy from for this summer?

Anyone bought any linen trousers this year? Are you happy?

I actually quite like linen/cotton mix as I find they wear better than pure linen.

My trousers generally wear through in one season at the top of the thigh (no real mystery why!!!). So I either want to pay for a quality that will last more than one season or at least a full one season - or buy cheap so I don't mind. Previously I have spent £60 for trousers that wore out before the end of the summer so I am not keen to repeat that experience!

Autograph,Fat Face and White Company.
All more expensive,especially White Company,but I have given up on cheaper ones,they lose their shape so quickly.

M&S have some nice linen mix ones, crops and longer length, have ordered mine and waiting for them to arrive so can't really comment on fit yet but I did see the cropped ones in the local Simply Food but I wanted the long ones so had to go online.

sainsburys (Tu) always do nice ones, only about £15. I've had a couple of years wear. In fact they do quite a few bits of nice linen

Success! I have bought linen mix from gap in their hip slung flare - White - and navy ones from White company in a more traditional drawstring style.

Managed to buy several items from gap which makes a change for me!

They are quite tailored and keep their shape - no baggy bum or knees.
