Find a loose end of the thread and put a lighter to it. If it burns, it's cotton, if it melts, it's polyester. 90% that it's polyester. I'd imagine his heavy fabrics would require that to hold the garment together.

I have a pair of the M06-18's in grey linen, which I'm considering dyeing black with some handdye, since I suck at pairing grey pants with anything, but wouldn't want to be stuck with high contrast grey stitching. Alternatively, does anyone have experience successfully dyeing a pair of his pants?
If you are concerned about contrasting in the color you can do a two stage dyeing process where the poly is dyed first to dye the thread color and then the cotton/ linen is done afterwards.
the other option is to use an all purpose dye like RIT or some other that I am not sold on but seems to dye everything it comes into contact with.“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”

Was expecting this to be the case, despite the lightness of the linen fabric this year.
Do you have any idea how intrusive/abusive a dual process such as that would be to the garment? Sounds like something that wouldn't just be possible to do by hand in cold water ... I could get along with something like that, but it's definitely not worth ruining a perfectly gorgeous pair of pants over.
Pretty much the only fabric dye that's possible to come by around here is from Dylon, so RIT wouldn't even be an option.

Yea Dylon wont dye the stitching if its synthetic. You could use a black permanent marker to go over the stitching, I've actually done this on a pair of jeans. its a pain in the ass to go over each seam, but it works. might lose some of the color when washing but you can always redo. I've worn those pants probably 20+ times and washed them once, and they are still black."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.
