Trouser questions...

[matei]

Hello all,

Shortly I'll be off to my tailor in order to have him make me some trousers. Ideally I'd like to have him make me up several pairs with a more vintage feel - high waisted, etc. However, I'm not all that knowledgable on the proper terminology!

I'm not after anything extreme (like those '30s super wide-legged trousers that the Oxford lot wore) - rather something that the average Joe in the '30s and '40s (more '40s) would've worn.

Can any of you mention some features that I should request?

Also - any suggestions on material & weight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

my advice: print out some pics of trousers you like and take them along. point at the pictures and say "like this !" then ring the bits you like in bold felt-tip. don't leave anything to chance.
