Anyone bought the DRAGO - SUPER 160'S High Rise trousers?

How's the drape? Does it compare to a High Twist?
Haven’t bought those exact trousers but have experience with a few of the fabrics in that Drago bunch. They are very different from a high twist.

I would avoid them if you’re looking for a pair of separate trousers. There are other materials that will hold up much better, drape better, and hold a crease better.

The s160s are really creamy in texture. Very silky feeling. Wrinkle easily, and don’t really hold a crease all that great.

Thank you for the feedback, guys.

I really need to get me a good pair of High Rise trousers in charcoal, in High Twist preferably. Any other options out there besides Spier?

It's really not the season for high twist in the northern hemisphere. You may have to wait a bit before you find them OTR, but nearly every menswear retailer carries some version.

PS for this time of year I recommend the VBC coverts for odd trousers that will hold a crease.

Took delivery today on a pair of the di Fabio cashmere blend trousers and they're... fine. They remind me of the VBC quasi-worsted flannel. Personally, I'd much rather wear the spongy flannel from Minnis/Huddersfield.

edit: The new back rise adjustment is noticeable and welcome.

Planning to get any wear out of them this season?

Also, if you're anal enough about it to measure for comparison sake to previous seasons, would really appreciate it.
