Looking for slim grey pant for spring/fall

Hi,

I'm looking for suggestions for a slim fitting medium-grey pant for spring and fall wear. I've done a bunch of looking and googling around but haven't seen much so far. Cotton, wool or linen is fine by me, though I'd be curious to hear others opinions on the cotton vs. wool debate.

I'm looking for a fit along the lines of APC's "narrow trouser" (which of course they don't have in grey this season!). Price preference is under $150 but if the fit and material is really nice I might be willing to pay more.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help...

what is your waist? I have a size 36 slim fitting pair of grey Cloak jeans that are too big for me...

Surface to Air has a grey, waxed-cotton pant in their spring line that's quite slim. The fabric is unconventional, so it may not be what you're looking for, but it's an interesting piece. ~$150-160 I believe.

If you can find them the cotton canvas jil sander ones in ice grey fit this bill.

PC has grey pants this season ( http://www.apc.fr/indexS08.php?r=1&e...d&zone=0&lg=0), but they are straight legged...if you are looking for slim fit ones, you can always buy a smaller size..
or if you are not brand conscious, you can try yesstyle.com....they do have grey pants...recommend u to go for those by jbros or scou or purplow, where at least there is some level of quality control, as for the other brands, the quality is questionable for the price.

My waist is 32 - so unfortunately those won't work! I'll look into the Surface to Air ones though...Hopefully Nomad has em.

I have a pair of light cotton Helmut Lang pants. I believe they're a few seasons old. Nice fabric, pretty slim. They might be a little lightweight for later in the fall, but they are good for spring and summer.

I am sure they fit the bill except the price point on those. Stop trying to make people jealous all the time....

While some people build wardrobes for the price people pay for a pair cotton pants... somewhat amazes me still.

I got a great pair of fitted gap chinos this spring for $25 dolllars on sale. They're not tapered but a narrow straight fit down the leg. Only thing was I needed to size one down from my true size. They're a light steel grey color, not as light as cement either. They also have a slightly dressy coating that has yet to come off after a few times handwashing them cold. Very clean.

+10.

The Japanese label Attachment by Kazuukyi Kumagai also did a ton of great pants in various silhouettes and shades of grey for the Spring. Unfortunately, I don't think Atelier or The Archive bought em. You might wanna check H Lorenzo out though.. Just be warned the SAs there are kinda asses.
