i suppose eyeryone's a bit shy about showing you their trousers.
i would but i don't have a digital camera. (in fact i haven't posted any personal photos yet for that reason).

I guess we're trouser pic'd out through the "Suits and Suit Pants" thread ...

Here's a couple of pics i've posted before ...

probably 20s (British) bags ...................................... and the trousers to a suit i own

WARNING PICTURE HEAVY

BK, I can't help thinking that those british bags make your shoes look like platforms. I think it's because I can't see where the heel ends.



Anyway here are a few pics I've posted in other threads:

Modern Hong Kong Bespoke Pants- inverse pleats, side adjusters

Modern Shang Hai Tang Linen Pants

Vintage Post-WWII USAAF Pants (A little scratchy)

Vintage 1930-1940s (I found a 1944 Minted Mercury Dime in it, so it was made in that era...)

Sorry for all the pictures.

All you need is a cigarette packet wrapped up in the Tshirt arm. Do you have a cause? I do like the look ...

Heel is standard 1.5"

Here's a pair of 1940's dropped loop pants. Also deadstock. These have the lowest belt loops I've ever seen on original pants. I put a belt on them in the second pic to show how severe the waist is. I love these!

Now here's a pair of 1950's "Rock and Roll" pants by Campus. Japanese dealers would give me $800 for these...IF I were willing to sell them!

After looking at those pictures, I've come to the realization that I have too many white shirts...

 

[Mr. Rover]

Are most of your pants wool? What do you guys think about rayon pants? Do they breath well?

 

[herringbonekid]

flat-top, those 30s trousers have the kind of side adjusters i like best: below the waistband, not it.

 

[herringbonekid]

not ON it, i should have said.

 

[Mr. Rover]

Exactly! The tailor making my pants in the first picture said he couldn't put the side adjusters below it- that lying sneak.

Yup....so you can wear a belt!!

 

[Mr. Rover]

Doesn't it defeat the purpose of the side adjuster (aka a "self-belt") if you wear a belt? It just seems superfluous to me.
I personally just don't like it because it bunches up all the material on the waistband, which is thicker.

 

[herringbonekid]

Doesn't it defeat the purpose of the side adjuster (aka a "self-belt") if you wear a belt?

in a way..yes.
your trousers shouldn't be so loose that you need to use the adjuster anyway. they just look good. and add a bit of detail to your rear.

 

[flat-top]

Doesn't it defeat the purpose of the side adjuster (aka a "self-belt") if you wear a belt?

Hmm......maybe. But there are both side buckles and belt loops on these particular pants. I view the buckles as cosmetic and not to be relied upon to actually hold my pants up!

 

[herringbonekid]

hey flat-top, what eerily similar posts we just made !

 

[Mr. Rover]

Well, I usually use braces with those pants, so I'm not relying on them either.
I guess the side adjuster also helps if you've eaten a little too much and need to let out a few centimeters in your pants.

Give it a little more time, and your thread explodes with posts. Just because there were 49 views in 12 hours, doesn't mean there were 49 people with trousers to show off, so don't get discouraged.

Welcome to the Lounge, by the way!
