Recommendations for pants

I recently purchased some shirts from MyTailor.com and am looking for some advice for pants. I am going for a business casual look, and plan to wear the shirts open collar. My biggest problem with pants is finding an adequate length for my waist size. I have a 30" waist with about a 34" inseam. I don't particularly like skinny pants, but I do have thin thighs, so I need some pants that aren't too baggy. I thought looking for dressier pants would eliminate this problem since it will be easier to find unhemmed pants and have them tailored to the proper length, but I haven't had too much luck, at least not at my price point. As I said, I'm going for a business-casual look, so I'm looking for materials most appropriate for that. I'm looking at wool, perhaps gabardine pants, but open to any recommendations. Finally, I'd like to keep the price under $100.

So, I'm looking for any brand recommendations that seem suitable for my size and also suggestions for the most suitable materials for the look I'm going for. I appreciate your input!

Look in B&S for Incotex or Mabitex. Slim, unhemmed (usually) and in your price range.

Hmm, what's B&S stand for?

Sorry, the buying and selling thread. Usually under "Men's Clothing" as opposed to "Streetwear & Denim"

I have a similar issue (30 w 32inseam.) -- Dress pants always seem too baggy. I also purchased shirts from Mytailor recently and in our office we wear open necked shirts and trousers. If you have some success in your hunt for better fitting trousers, please post.
