Problem is, when you get darker it ends up looking like a suit trouser.

Disagree with this. Yes a dark charcoal trouser may have that effect, but a mid-grey mottled flannel, in my opinion, is the perfect odd trouser.

+1 - agreed.

Indeed, which is why I opt for light coloured odd trousers.


Mid-grey is great as well, just not as much.

Good choice. I just recieved two trousers in this cloth (should be Minnis 0300, at least similar enough) and it is indeed incredibly versatile. It even goes with green-ish tweeds which are normally relatively hard to wear with grey trousers.

I love medium gray trousers, but find that they don't always work with a lot of my sport coats which tend to be medium shades of brown or blue. So, I most of the time I go with dark gray or tan. But, medium gray is perfect for darker jackets.

I like it. Will provide a nice contrast with your jackets and will look great with blue shirts.

Does this also mean that I won with my 12 points?

I just scrolled back and saw your "One Choice" cloth. I like it very much. The lighter shade is perfect for what I was talking about with sport coats made in medium shades. Nice!

looks like wool to me

A shade lighter than I would have thought but it's fantastic.

depending on the weight
there are many who make that shade
from fox
to h&s
and vbc
to drapers

Poor iPhone picture but...quite dark heathered/mottled flannel...darker than what is commonly called charcoal but not quite black...nice with a variety of grey jackets...black shoes/dark brown shoes...versatile for a monochromatic person like myself...
