New to the whole pants thing - incotex, borelli, etc.
I've found on previous postings here that Barba is about as slim as they come. And while Incotex are more chino-like, Barba is more slacks-like...in general.

Can Barba owners here please provide feedback on fit, quality, etc.
I do prefer slim pants - slimmer the better, actually.
I wear size 30 - mostly jeans from Europe, which tend to be cut trimmer than those manufactured for US market.

Shop the Finest appear to have a good selection of Barba - so I may order from Ian.
My biggest concern (which I've read on other posts) is that going up one size is advisable - but not sure if such comments are based mostly on those who wear American-style 30 waist.

Input/Opinions?

I'm a size 31 and I wear a size 30 Barba. They fit me just a little tightly. They are superslim, good quality and great value at the price. Get the 30. The one down-side is that the fabrics I have from STF are a little heavy for summer, especially in a slim fit.
