Your opinion on these Brooks Brothers pants?

[Insight]

Wondering what the SW&D crowd thinks of these? Suitable for an over-the-hill bald white guy? If not, what would you recommend?

Only Rick Owens is suitable for an over-the-hill bald white guy.

When BB refers to something as "classic fit," that means it will look awful by the standards of SWD.

Which means it's probably just right for me. I did avoid the "Relaxed Fit" version, found here:

Let's be honest, I'm old and fat enough to think shoe horns are for getting into shoes, not pants.

Don't buy denim from brands that are focused on formalwear. They almost never know how to do it correctly. I'm going to assume as "an over the hill bald white guy" you're probably not looking for something too slim or extreme? APC Rescues wouldn't be a bad place to start looking, maybe? They're more relaxed fit, if you're fat though, I dunno, check the measurements obviously. I am clueless since I can never find stuff small enough for me. http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...ostcount=27220 http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...82&postcount=5 Shouldn't be too hard to find, there are other affiliates that sell them as well: http://www.contextclothing.com/item.php?id=7 http://www.shopfarinellis.com/pa-171...in-indigo.aspx Also, LVC 501's? Levi's 501's in classic fits over time, except with super high quality denim and all the vintage details: http://www.shopfarinellis.com/ms-90-2-lvc.aspx

Just because you're an old bald white guy doesn't mean you should fit the stereotype and dress like one.

I love my polyester plaid shorts and my polyester plaid shorts love me.

I think they look fine, and if they look like what your looking for, i am sure the quality will be up to par. Just don't look for all of the 20 something guys on here to be supportive.

Good advice. For my edification, what do the 20 somethings on here look for? I'm not really looking to wear that look, just trying to understand what it is.

Very long? He's just skinny. He's not tall enough to be very long

You might try these if you're looking for something a little slimmer than the 501. http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/Mens...8763/98763.jsp

The jeans are long... Evidenced by stacking...
