High waisted, (double) pleated pants: where to find them?

[Retri]

Where can I purchase high rise/waisted, (double) pleated pants with built-in belt/side adjusters like picture below at around (or below) 300 US$/250 Euro?:



Been looking everywhere for a month to no avail; PT01/Ghost Project, Incotex and Lardini used to make sick ones but they're all sold out and I'd rather not order from Luxire after seeing all the issues people have had with their customs.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Rubinacci Manny. I just bought a bunch of pairs in Wool flannel from Mr Porter, really lovely. I did notice a few 'italian' quality details on with the internals, but nothing that changes how they look or feel.

as cool as they are, those are 400 Euro a pop.

My local tailor can probably make me a bespoke pair for that much money and then some (regardless, I hate wearing pants that cost more than 250 Euro because then I get self conscious about where I sit and stuff).

How did you size these? Mr. P suggests sizing one down, but their advice is notoriously inaccurate in my experience.

I paid 139.90gbp for mine on Mr Porter so you *can* find them on sale. The Rubinacci and Rake sites had a couple pairs on sale too but weren't my size.

I bought my tag size and they fit quite well. Roomy, but these look better roomy IMO and I have some thigh-zilla action going on haha.

The leg openings taper heavily, so keep that in mind - Mr P said they'd be 16.5" but they're 18" at my 31.5" inseam. (which is what I like anyway)

Maybe keep an eye out for Spier & Mackay, the will be looking to offer a higher rise, pleated pant in the future.

Otherwise, I am in the same boat as you, some options here and there but nothing too captivating. I'll add that the options seem to be wider if you are okay with a button front but I personally find a zipper more useful.

Take a look at the Nico trouser from Epaulet. Only 1 pleat, but the rise is very high and they have a nice taper.

IMO and experience the Epaulet pants are off in the way they look and fit. Might just be the reverse pleats. Forward facing pleats all the way, if available.

@Retri where are you located?

Berg&Berg is quite nice, made in Naples with lots of hand crafts.

@Retri where are you located?

Northern Italy, 45 mins by train from Milan give or take.

Surely you could to custom/MTM. Is there a reason you’re looking for RTW at this price point?

Hi!

Apologies, I know this was a long time ago, but I'm now looking to buy these and, by the sounds of it, have a similar Thigh-zilla (I prefer Quad-zilla ) issue!

You bought the same size and they fit - did you have to get the waist altered? And also did they have plenty of length to work with (say for example if you wanted to hem them).

Any answers appreciated!

Thanks.

Have you tried Luxire, I got two very nice pairs from there, I have the opposite problem, extremely thin legs. You can get a cheap £40 ish trial pair so you know where you are at before buying in a better cloth.

I'll have to check them out. Can you compare the quality to a well know brand that does similar style? Anderson & Sheppherd, Rubinacci, Kit Blake etc.?

Also how much were the full pair, in what material?
