Or something like them. Preferably for under $150.

Light grey flannel trousers?

They are quite common. Every good clothing store should carry them. And if you look around, you should be able to find them on discount too. Although I had to pay full retail for mine.

A Harris had a pair in 36 on his Ebay store, but I checked and they seem to be gone...

The cuffs are no problem, as they come unhemmed...

But I agree, that the BB flannels won't be that slim. Still, flannel pants with pleats are ok in my book.

Hmm... those BB ones won't work as they look to be pleated and slightly too baggy, as you mention.

Would Valentini make something like this? They are the slimmest of OTR trousers, correct?

BB Black Fleece has a pair from about a year ago... flat front, extended tab trousers. Run about $200 down from $800 or so. PM me if you need a pair, I have one pair here.

I have a pair of Mabitex that look very similar, except I did not put a cuff on the bottom. They are a very nice light grey flannel and quite slim fitting. I purchased them on the B&S for about $100 - I think from Ed.

Thanks.

As a side note, does Valentini run pretty slim? I'm taking a look at some of the pants on Shop The Finest and they seem to be labeled as "Full" and have fairly full measurements. I was under the impression that they run pretty slim - is this incorrect? If so, what are some of the slimmest dress pants with fairly low rises that are of equal quality to Valentini?

I picked up some RL's on the B&S last year. Very similar. I believe that they are 'Platinums'.
Also STF, has some Grey (Cash/wool blend) Borrelli (from memory I paid about $199).

The guy is pretty well dressed but, well he has a pair of gloves in his coat pocket, and a pair on. Unless he is physically quite unusual it seems a little redundant.

Indoor and outdoor or driving and walking gloves?

Again, I have just one pair of Valentini's - beige cords with horizontal wales - and yes, they are similarly slim-fitting. Great pair of trousers.

I see that my DB suit from today has your mind churning.

In the shot below, I'm wearing a mainline Ralph Lauren done up in flannel...these were mainline, although the construction is about the same as Purple Label (one of the those RL sourcing mysteries)...very slim and flat front:

These were from last year, so maybe there are some still floating around. The are not remotely as nice as the DeBoise/Smith flannel that I'm wearing today, but the RLs are not bad at all.
