My New Bespoke Gray Flannels - Pictures! - What Do You Think?

You mean wearing both braces and belt at the same time? Nah, can't do that. (:

[Feraud]

Very nice trousers. Your tailor did a fine job on 'em.

I agree.

Agree x 2.

The perfect way to look like a prat is to wear both at the same time.

Never trust a fellow who doesn't trust his own trousers enough to wear either a belt or braces but rather both

I like the heavier flannel weights, I am tired of being 'sold' super thin weights. I don't like the way they feel, or look on me. I think dress trousers should have an element of form and weightiness to them. Much of today's thinking is I think based on keeping cost down by using as little fabric as possible by selling the idea of "coolness". But the thinness of typical dress trousers today seem to contribute to a tendency for trousers to accentuate the features of the individual underneath, or they just hang formlessly on the person. They lack the substance to establish their own identity.

I like those trousers Rudie, and would likely buy some myself, if they didn't have to be bespoked.

I agree with you 100%, Tommy. However, I think it applies to all tailored clothing (suits, tuxedos, pants-as mentioned before, cutaway coats, tail coats, vests, skirts, dresses and especially overcoats).

Hear, hear! I don't like the thin, wrinklyness of the modern day suit.

Well, the fabric has Savile Row on the label. Don't know that a Savile Row tailor would run quite so cheap on a pair of trousers. Señor Hussein of Hanbury Street, on the other hand …

(and on the Row, at that)

The next trousers I have in mind will be from a 19oz. Thornproof Donegal tweed. I don't think these are going to have have belt loops.

Can't wait to see them!

Awesome trousers. Yes, suspenders certainly are the bee's knees. I'm a recent convert to the suspenders phenomenon, though I prefer to hide them beneath my waistcoat.
