Slim tropical wool trousers - where?

[skalogre]

Does anyone have any recommendations on slim fitting tropical wool trousers? I need to get some in the next 10 or so days as I will need them for a wedding somewhere hot & humid. Linen would probably crease far too much. Thinking charcoal or gray. Not looking to spend a fortune though

The Chicago Mansion had some nice Purple Label light gray pants in 40 and some lighter blue ones in 38 for 162.

I bought a pair of the grays and love them.

Hmm, there is a Polo place in Phoenix... maybe I need to look in to that. Thanks! ANy other suggestions, maybe online?

I'll second the RL recommendation and add that the blue Polo range has some nice ones as well RLPL.

I doubt that at this point I will make it to Phoenix. Any other suggestions, hopefully online?

A 40 is a slim fit pant? Trousers with a 40" waist are all over the place. How about finding some in a 29 or 30?

LL Bean has some very acceptable ones, with various pleats/plain fronts.

The charcoal heather ones are really pretty dark. The grey heather is more of a mid-grey-- good with a blazer.

Are they relatively slim or will I look like an extra from an MC Hammer video with my thin legs?

Dunno. I get the classic pleated model one size up because it does supply a decent amount of room in the thighs. Plain front may be a different story.

They Fedex and are notoriously flexible about returns. Worth a try. Quality is not absurdly high, but value is good.

Right, thanks!

Slim fit with pleats is kind of a contradiction.

Banana Republic has a few slim-fit, flat-front options. But they aren't cheap.

Borrelli and Jil Sander, for example, do great slim leg pants.
