These are very slim to the point where I thought they were khakis or 5 pockets. That leg circumference at your ankle is very tight IMO. Perhaps it's an illusion without a hem, but it looks like those can barely make it over your shoe tops.
Texture looks great. I sat this one out after seeing it in store and thinking it leaned a bit too warm for my taste (I think your picture may mute the yellow a little bit).
I would go with either the first one or the third.
He went with 1st which I think isn't great for shorter guys.
All the horizontal lines?
Thanks! And, awesome! I was wondering who else brought it because I've barely seen any mention of this colorway except maybe once?
Thank you those are definitely my top two color choices to pair with them.
They have a rougher hand but the texture is great. I love the small specks of colors throughout. It's more of a medium weight than my heavy weight tweeds. If you already have flannels covered, I think charcoal donegal can be quite useful and versatile especially in that colorway compared to Rust.
Ah thank you for the feedback you might be right.
Re: color combos, my inclination is to use dark colors up top, i.e. dark sportcoats or sweaters. The reason is that these trousers are richer and bolder, so we need something rich and bold up top to make sure the eye remains drawn to your face, not to your legs or feet. That's why rich, bold colors like navy and forest green were my quick picks. After those two, I think dark brown might work. With a dark brown jacket and these trousers, I'd use a pale blue shirt or something similar to offset all the browns and cool down an otherwise warm outfit. Charcoal could work, but that might be a stretch. I'd need to see it to evaluate. With these trousers, I'd stay away from pale, faint beiges or greys up top. Those will give you a bottom-heavy look that's incongruous, displeasing to the eye, and best avoided. Again, these aren't the most versatile trousers in the world, but that's fine. Versatility isn't everything. What you lose in versatility, you gain in originality and visual interest. And navy, dark green, dark brown, and perhaps charcoal (that's roughly a descending order of best matches) still give you plenty of options.
I've been eyeing both the charcoal and the navy. A few guys have posted pics of the navy, but I haven't seen the charcoal yet. I'm thinking that this donegal fabric could be an excellent opportunity to add a pair of navy odd trousers to my rotation, with no risk of the orphaned suit trouser look. If they're not too warm to be worn outside of the colder winter days, I may just get both of them.
I thought the same thing about possible all-weather wear, so I picked up the medium gray and dark green. Took delivery of them today, and I'm quite pleased with them. They wear much lighter than a typical pure wool flannel, and is probably even more comfortable. The drape is excellent despite the lighter weight, although they definitely wrinkle a bit easier than a traditional flannel. I can see myself wearing these for all but the hottest summer days. The official product pics are quite accurate to how they appear in person.
