I'm looking to buy about 3-4 pairs of dress slacks for my new job. I want to goto a department store or a national brand store so that I always know that this same fit/color will be available if I ruin any or they get worn out. All I want is a non-full cut / slightly trimmed/tailored 100% wool trouser.
So this leaves me to:
Brooks Brothers
JCrew
Banana Republic
Nordstroms
Brooks Brothers - Every store I have been to only has the full Madison cut. It is impossible to try on any slimmer cuts like the Regent because they never stock them.
JCrew - They only have the ludlow, nut-grabbing pants, never the Aldridge ones.
Banana Republic - They have classic cut, tailored cut, and tailored slim cut. And they have ONLY navy in the tailored cut. More importantly, they grab the nuts when you are seated.
Nordstroms - Sales guy said that the ONLY brand they carry that is slightly tailored is BOSS. So that leaves the James (which is still full), and the Sharp.
Looks like Boss Sharp is the only option, or I'd have to buy Regent Pants sight unseen, and hope they fit or I'll have to return them on the spot.
