Affordable woollen trousers (EU)?

Dear all,
I am a new member on this forum and would like to know whether there are options for affordable woollen (or wool-blend) trousers in the EU, since shipping from the USA/Canada/the UK is often not worth it (or impossible, in the case of some UK brands). At the moment, since I am in university, a price bracket around 100€, with a maximum of 200€, would be all I can work with.
Perhaps such a thread already exists, but still, I would ask for any recommended brands in the price bracket stated above.
Thanks in advance!

I appreciate the detailed listing, and some of those brands I already have stumbled upon in my research.
This may sound stingy, but unfortunately, most of those go beyond 200€, and their items on sale do not include offerings in my waist size (which fluctuates between 81 and 83cm). Perhaps they’ll have better sales at another point in time.

Suitsupply seems quite interesting with their customisation options, so perhaps I’ll settle for them.

Another question:
Does anyone have experience with the trouser brand Meyer? I was pondering on whether their machine washable poly-wool blends are worth it considering their prices in the 130–150€.

Are you sure? 81cm waist is approx 32 inch or size 46/48IT and 38FR. I see plenty of options on the proposed sites at that size and below 200 EUR. Unless you want lightweight wool instead of the heavier wools like flannel, but every vendor is usually selling Fall/Winter collection now.

No first hand experience with Meyer, but paying 150 for polyester blend while you can get quality wool at 200 seems not a great deal, nevertheless, it's all about the fit. Therefore, SS might be your best option indeed, especially if you are in between sizes sometimes.

I see, thank you very much for the constructive reply!
