Hi!
I'm looking for a pair of tapered Gurkha trousers preferably under 100 euros. Does anyone know brands to get them from and any tips for the right fit as I've never had Gurkhas before?

True Ghurka trousers aren’t going to be tapered. I’m not sure where you can find them in Europe. I know RL had some as you’ve described but not sure if you can find them at that price point.

Tapered like this one. I'm not a fan of the baggy ones and i like it a bit more dynamic.

There are plenty of cheaper options, Suitsupply MTO, Lopez Aragorn, Luxire, Yeossal to name a few. Btw, by cheap I mean between 130 - 200 range. Asking for anything under 100 means you either have to go for something like H&M or Zara, or second-hand, trifted. You are not getting anything new at a decent quality level recommend on this forum for that cheap a price.

Check out this shop. They're <€100. Never bought anything there though so can't say anything about quality.

Yeah that's the place i was going to buy from. Yesterday i found it, decided to do some more research about the brand and order today. The one i was about to buy is now out of stock ? I guess I'll have to wait.

I could say that I stand corrected, but then I don't consider trousers mostly made out of polyester and other synthetics much in terms of quality. OP might not care though, so good tip either way.

I like fairly light weight fabrics. Especially now that summer is coming up. personally wool and flannel trousers are always so warm. I use wool trousers but flannel, no. Only when it's freezing.

I think military elements like Gurkha waistband doesn't mixed well with tailoring things like cuffs and slim fit, it makes you looks like too #menswear.
I personally like tapered fits more and it makes me feel so confident and comfortable. It's all about personal taste?? I appreciate your opinion and you're most likely right.
