i dunno about the wool, but all my cotton incotex are dangerously slim. i was at work one day, and realized i couldn't feel my balls (true story). thats how slim they are. black label doesn't even come close to doing that to me.

Are Borrelli pants slim to a point where one might consider sizing up one size, say, from a EU 46 to a 48? As a point of reference, I wear EU 46 for Incotex.Originally Posted by SirSuturesALot
- I recently purchased a pair of Borelli & Incotex in 46. They are literally the same in cut, the only difference is the Borelli has a lot of handwork & buttonfly
I am now a convert, I will be buying more!

Another suggestion: the Mabitex trousers Ed Morel and others are selling. They are fairly trim in the thigh.

+1 for RLBL and to checking measurements on Incotex carefully (however, even when I've checked measurements, I don't always get a perfect fit).
Also, check out PandArts's posts on WAYN. He wears a variety of slimmer fitting brands, and the fit is always awesome.

Ultra slim cut trousers are the leisure suits of the early 21st century. Too easily dated.Originally Posted by yachtie
Slim trousers did not just get invented and as long as we are not talking skin tight, the look is quite appealling ans serves to elongate and "slim" the wearer. I don't think pictures of guys like Mick Jagger, Beatles, that Steed dude wearing slim trousers, look dated.

Not nearly slim enough for these guys. (although the dunhill looks pretty uncomfortable)
