Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

You're also not going to worry if you spill something on them. Give them a shot, GF.

I draw the sartorial line in the sand here now.

Mind you little miss granddaughter can be an (adorable) mess at times.

I had a look at the Natalino have my size in both olive and navy. However I’ve for the most part found English trousers tend to be small in the waist. Will investigate thanks.

Draw string trousers are not for a gentleman my age.

Age is just a number (speaking as a 52 year old)

Definitely but being in my sixth decade their are standards to uphold?

You get to set the standards

Albeit one with magnificent hair! ;-)

I’m sorry but elasticised trousers should only be seen at the Rooty Hill RSL

Slap a Camoshita label on them and you would find them at Paddo RSL too. I’ve seen worse for $49 bucks, worth a shot vs Informale at 7x the price.

Just picked up this unique looking piece today...

Mod 2 - Loro Piana Check Overcoat

Cavour notch lapel overcoat based on the fit of our Model 2 Jackets, made to comfortably fit over our suits and jackets. The coat features a pleated spalla camicia shoulder. Wide notch lapels, three roll two closure and slanted side pockets for easy access. Featuring a bold check pattern from...

cavour.co

Love the cloth and the cut. Think it’s a bargain at under $1K (roughly $860 AUD). And looks like there’s quite a few sizes left! Thought I’d give everyone a heads up...

If you don't mind the drawstring and the price, they're good.
I have two pairs, can also recommend.

Now, I'm waiting for the one pair guy to chime in ...

I have 3 pairs!!!!

They have belt loops. The draw string is a “bonus” with elastic waist.

Can recommend.

Probably the only thing I have more of than Garry N.

Ahhh... but can you take on the Foo? He who is King of the One Pair!!!

 

[ColdEyedPugilist]

Wonder what happened to that crazy guy anyway?

Coincidently, he resurfaced yesterday, posted in watch thread.

Me take on Foo. No way. I refuse to fight below my division. It’s not fair to my opponent.

Foo is pretty much a self rationalising self justifying AI Bot. With a dash of that occasionally cute American tendency to exceptionalism, combined with highly honed skills in fluffing up your own pillow.

Only a fool “takes on The Foo” as he/they/it are but an apparition on clothing forums that, if they didn’t exist we would surely have to invent it.

Otherwise how would we have the sheer beauty of male neurosis laid out in threads such as the Green Breast wallet, the “authentic” chambray or was it OCDB shirt set on fire, and who could forget the sartorial learnings of the 24 months late perfect pants from Napoli that didnt fit, or was it that our hero had put on weight?

Who can forget the insults from our Napoli Archangel of Perfect Ambrosia Pants, drunk at midnight in Japan, toward our original hero of the clompy one shoe.
