It could be the angle, but the trousers look too much tapered to me.
I would tend to agree. This was my first bespoke garment and I probably had too much uneducated input.

I've been looking to replace this one for a while, but I haven't been able to justify the investment. I simply don't wear grey slacks that often. I'm more of a beige and greige person. Grey slacks to me seem too formal that most of the time I'd just want to wear a full suit instead.

You wear the 6x1 very well. I had a lovely 6x1 in 4-ply VBC once, but it didn’t drape that well on me. Sticking to 6x2 from now on. Ralph Lauren do amazing DB blazers, regardless.
Thank you! I was also initially hesitant - but I think the slightly higher button stance helped the 6x1 stay in proportion. I, too, still prefer 6x2 on most occasions. Hoping this gives a bit of flare when the mood/occasion warrants so.

I'd like to bring my spring/summer stuffs out but it's still like 5C outside here in NYC haha.

Temp swing can be crazy though, a few weeks ago we had a springy afternoon, around 15-20C, only to be followed by -10C the next day.
