What do you think of these pants?

[...]

r1 agree

Why don't you guys like it??

[...]

Are you a newsboy circa 1900?

I like them, OP. They're quite smart.

I'm guessing the naysayers wear pants they buy at Costco.

R6 Thank you. I agree that dataloungers have quite an odd taste in clothing.

You must be a masochist, OP.

Trousers with pleats are not for fat people. If you're relatively thin, they'll look lovely with those black Zalando Gestapo boots you ordered.

Ooh, how very Oliver Twist of you 🙄

OP - the TROUSERS (not pants) are a good design however I have doubts about that fabric. You can see in the photo that the fabric does not drape well. 100 wool pants should have a flawless drape. These are wool - cotton blend - which is weird. But still dry clean only. Just buy 100% wool. I give the trousers points for being made in Ukraine not Bangladesh. But for the price, I think you can do better.

R11 Which do you recommend? One can order them and see for oneself, right?

I think they are already rather pricey and I do like them. I am still awaiting their response which size I should order. I usually wae 36/38 in jeans.

^ You're rather portly

Even the guy who's wearing them looks unhappy about it.

GermanGayGuy - I though you were poor and recently recovered from near fatal cancer. Perhaps you should shop at Aldi and Lidl for 20 Euro pants.

I am not portly, I am 6 feet 5.

I am also not poor.

Well then you are full of shit because you spent a year telling us you were underemployed and poor and couldn't do anything fun in life.

and if you are 6'5 those trousers will NEVER fit you because you need to buy trousers with a longer rise. The longer length in the hem won't be enough.

There are tall men in Germany - go to a shop that carry business clothes for tall men and buy a proper pair of 100% wool trousers. Look for Italian fabric.

R18 What do you mean with rise? I think they could still fit me.

The rise is the length/cut of the trousers from the waist to below your nuts. Because you are tall, you need a longer "rise" - there is more crotch space to cover. I will stick to my recommendation. You obviously know ZILCH about tailoring and fabric, so go to a decent men's shop in your town or a nearby city and start learning a bit. It doesn't matter if you buy jeans off the rack, but you are wanting trousers, and your height is way beyond what can be accommodated in a standard cut. They will look RIDICULOUS on your frame.

R21 I think I will order them to prove you wrong. Maybe they fit me. Standard sizes do fit me.

^ I think you should take r21's advice, but you're German and you'll do what you want anyway 🙄

By fit I assume you mean you can but them and zip the fly. If that is enough "fit" for you, you're obviously sartorially retarded and God Bless. But you are throwing away your Euros because they won't look like "nice trousers". You'll look like a German Boo Radley wearing cheap mail order "pants" made for a teen boy on your tall ungainly body. Nobody will laugh at you in Germany because, well, Germany.

*button them

Viel besser.

R26 Lol, S.Oliver is the pinnacle of basic bitchness.

I think you're ready for Sansabelt...

Most Italian manufacturers of "tailored" clothes still bother to make sizes in LONG. You are a LONG, in body, no matter has average your cock might be. I encourage you to go try on proper trousers in cuts that are made for tall guys. You are wasting your height if when you choose to be well put together, you look like a cartoon. Hugo Boss makes LONGs too. And Hugo Boss has at least 3 silhouettes for body type.

I like these.

^ 😂 Are you expecting a flood?

R27 OK, dann sind diese weniger "basic.“

The plaid in the first photo is very hard to carry off unless one is extremely thin and the trousers are flat front. I lived through that plaid weave in the 1970s. Nobody looks good in it as the pinwheel weave basically creates diagonal or "X" lines that make everyone look fat. Also, that weave tends to be a looser weave than other woven wools. I think that is part of the reason that it does not drape well in wool/cotton. The choice at R30 is better.

R30 - they look the your first pair but at least the ones at R30 are machine washable and half the price. 70% Polyester, 30% Wolle

I don't think the cut will really work on your body. Do you have long legs? Long torso? or well proportioned? Do you have genetics from the Big Cock Belt that runs from Belgium through Netherlands through northern Germany to Hamburg?

Oh, honey, it's time...

R33 But I can order it and see how it fits me?

R34 I think my thighs are a bit thicker and I did gain weight recently...

Are pleats making a comeback? Or just in Germany?

[quote]But I can order it and see how it fits me?

R36, are you comfortable with their return policy? Are you willing to take a photo and share with us? ;)

R38 Free returns, bitch :P

I can, possibly. So I can put down the rumors that I am fat.

They look like they’d ride up to your knees if you crossed your legs.

Take the good advice of R21 / R18, a man who seems to know a thing or two about RISE, and manages in his lead sentence to make me laugh recollecting a late U.S. president's dilema in finding "slacks" to fit his tall frame (and ample nuts, evidently.)

These are more culturally suitable

R41 LBJ was class and sophistication

^ Oh, sure, he used to whip his giant dick out and pee in front of reporters so that they could see how hung he was 🙄

[quote]Free returns, bitch :P

LOL. The *one* time I am actually not being a bitch to you and you call me a bitch!

Looking presidential

No pleats, ever. Jeez, learn some basic sartorial taste.

Don't you live in Germany, Kaspar Hauser?

I just said it in an endearing tone.

Aren't you going to need something with a little more snap for Octoberfest?

This thread is why I’m here.

Seriously, agree about the pleats. They just don’t look good.

The print is fine, I like it.

I just don't understand what you mean about pleat and print. Isn't that the same, R50?

Well, I googled and I do like the pleats!

^ No, the pleats are the folds of material at the top the print is the plaid pattern

Pleats are the "darts" in the front of the trousers at the waist and they create extra fabric and contribute to the line and drape. single or double. they look fine on well tailored trousers on fit men.

We can determine the Zolando "pants" are not well tailored by the pucker under the front button over the fly.

Germangayguy is a hopeless case.

GGG, I do love a nice plaid in Autumnal tones - I’m with you that it could look great with a black sweater!

To me, the pleats are distracting and hard to pull off, even on very slender guys. Their time was the 80s and it’s hard to not see that.

But if you like them, get them! Try them on, you’ve got nothing to lose. Why shouldn’t we have fun with clothes too?

They are far too short. They reveal cankles.

That SJP x Die Woody gif is becoming the best new DL meme! I cannot stop watching it!!

Nothing to lose? He will lose the chance to look decent!

R57 Now, you are a nice fella. I will order them and maybe take some pics.

Oh, and btw, these trousers are from a French brand from Paris. Maybe you Americans just don't understand fashion.

You can order them and try them on. I think 120 € is very moderate for decent clothing. I agree with the poster's above too. You're very tall so you need a different cut than shorter men. But the trousers themselves: Also mir g'fallen's.

R63 Thank you, sweetie :P I can wear them to our hot, very romantic date :P!!

R62

A German wearing plaid with pleats telling his American friends they don’t know fashion!

GGG, what happened to your blind date with the GI JOE?

R66 I think it's houndstooth

They look like something Diane Keaton would covet.

LOL - I've had a pair of those pants from Polo sitting in my closet for 20 years. I used to wear them when the whole business casual thing first started at work, but haven't worn them in years.

^ there’s a guy in Germany willing to pay you top dollar for your cutting edge Polo trousers ☝🏼

R68. Noted. That fact does not, however, help his case.

[quote] I am not portly, I am 6 feet 5. I am also not poor.

Well then I don't think these pants would suit you. If you like the design, take the picture to your tailor and have him make a pair for you with proper wool and styling. Pleats look wonderful on tall people, but not with short cuffs. Fashions change, but nobody likes looking at ankles. And, high-water pants always look goofy on tall people.

You can upload some pictures R70, so I can judge!

You need to wear white socks with them.

You vill haff the "camel toe"

High-Water pants have always been a scandal. If you don't do it just right you end up looking just like Alfalfa from 'Our Gang'.

[quote]You can upload some pictures [R70], so I can judge!

GermanGayGuy - neither I nor my pants wish to be judged by anyone, not to mention I'd have to dig them out of storage in the back of my closet to find them.

Oh yea, baby!!

Don't listen to the naysayers, GGG, you just go right ahead and channel your inner Micheal Jackson

.....

There goes OP !!

Who brings shoes to a trouser fight? Start your own giffy thread, TIA.

^^^ Silly boy. The fight is not the shoes, it is about the height of the hem. Please, pay attention.

How about these pants?

But, OP, pleats on you just flatten out and then you can't get into your pockets.

Remember?

GGG, give us an update. Did you order the trousers?

The hem rides too high for anything but the stirruped capri pants you usually wear, you boor.
