From what I can see of the Incos you're wearing they look great on you. Have you tried their flannels? Unless you are uber thin I can't see them being any different from the MTM trou as far as fit and construction and they can be had for $50.

What size are you?

AndrewRogers: I think this updated photo provides a more accurate impression of the fit (after tucking in the shirt more carefully and a quick pressing). There's no question these pants are close fitting, but not uncomfortably so.

BigBris: I'm about a 32W, 30L.

Where can one get flannel Incos for $50?

If the OP's pants were part of a suit for which he'd paid $1600, would you have the same reaction? Don't pants require some substantial part of the skill, labor and fabric of a suit? Incotex pants are very nice if they fit you reasonably well. For me, they often don't, so I've got substantial alterations cost, and the pants never fit as well as my suit pants which are made for me. I've also never seen a pair of Incotex in true heavyweight flannel, or, for that matter, in lightweight fresco.

What an insulting and presumptuous statement to make.

OP, pants look great. I'm actually quite impressed that is the case for Chan's first shot.

The pants are great. However, the jacket IMHO is sublime.
Is it also from Chan? or whom?

Thank you. Yes, the jacket is also from Chan. It's a silk/wool from Holland and Sherry. I like the appearance, but it's a fragile fabric and one that I'm not inclined to repeat. I'm sticking with wool in the future.
