Note the slant on the plain bottom trousers. Evidentially Edward Sexton knows how to make a proper plain bottom without a break. I wish I were size 40

It's not that difficult—when one gets their trousers hemmed, ask for it to be at an angle so it's longer at the back, than the front. It helps keep non-cuffed trousers flailing around when one walks.
