Slim fitting linen trousers & chinos - where from?

[Holdfast]

In preparation for summer I'm after some slim-fitting linen and cotton trousers. You all know my build from WAYWN pics - I can take fairly slim cuts, but nothing too skin-tight.

The catch? I don't want to pay more than about $75-100/£50-£70 per pair (plus a little for minor alterations like hemming, but not major recuts).

Possible? Impossible? Sources? (online sources are also OK, if they ship to, or are based in, the UK & have a good returns policy)

Thanks for any thoughts guys!

Incotex chino-linos are great if there are any left in your size from the last frenzy.

Good idea but I looked in several (admittedly, not all) of those threads when they were posted and couldn't see a pair in a size/style/fabric combo that I liked. Plus, I want the option to return if the fit is off, and B&S doesn't generally allow for that.

You can take a look on Yoox (they seem to have a good return policy) for Incotex, Barba, Borrelli A few left on sale http://www1.yoox.com/YOOX/INCOTEX/me...2/dept/salemen more from new collection http://www1.yoox.com/YOOX/INCOTEX/me...CE7A2/dept/men Problem is, on Yoox you do not have the measurements and they vary from one model to another. And on these sites http://www.virtualclotheshorse.com/ http://www.shopthefinest.com/

Thanks for the tips. Sadly, nothing in my size (30) in the white/cream/tan spectrum. Someone else suggested Loro Piana at outlet, and I'll give them another try (I last looked there for trousers like this a couple of months or so ago and they didn't have anything, but their new collection might be in stock). Depending on their level of discount, they might be outside my price range though.

I guess I could try Zara and similar "high street fashion" labels too.

Any other ideas?

Does Uniqlo have a location in the UK? I had success finding linen trousers there last summer.

Take another look, I think they've screwed up on their measurement conversions. They have "US 36" but if you look at the description they show "The size indicated on the product's label is 46 (IT)" which if I'm not mistaken is actually US 30? They seem to be using the suit conversion chart of EUR - 10 = US ...
