$20?
I bought this for $2:

For a pair of NST I think the Meermin Cordovan offering is pretty good, although I've seen mixed reviews on their leather quality.

I'd like to hear from others on how they wear trousers with respect to overall length, where it sits on the waist or hips, preference for pleats or flat fronts, cuffs or not. A well-fitting jacket is straightforward enough but a well-proportioned and clean trouser, that is a sight to behold.

I like cuffs only on heavy flannel. Howard Yount is pretty much all I wear these days so flat front and rise is as they come (medium I think). Always a 31" inseam, which is more of a break than is SF approved, but imo the no break look is only good when you are standing perfectly still.

I find that I am only comfortable with zero break on casual ensembles...

Same here, and I agree with Tobias that no break tends to only good while standing, not while walking (especially when you're 6"2 like me). That's not to say I like excessive break either, just a single one on the shoe is good.

Cheers
