hemp ?
how wide we talkin?
i'd personally like to see ur widest options
No numbers rn but something like my Arpenteur pants
what's your budget
vivienne westwood, lemaire, margiela, cdg, jjve, yohji, 69, commas, kiko all have good W I D E options
I am biased but Jan Jan van Essche does drapey summer pants the best…fabrics are always impeccable
Akog has some cool stuff this season
fabrics I would look at are things like linen, tropical/summer wool, wool gaberdine, and silk
there are loads of different variants on wool fabrics that would also be good like hard twist wool etc, but cant be bothered to list them all out
High twist feels a bit too crisp, though I agree it drapes nicely
But it’s almost a crunchy kind of drape and I think I’m looking for something flowier
Budget hopefully closer to $200 Canadian but may spend more if it’s a solid wardrobe staple
Ideally something I can try in person in Toronto (so maybe stocked at Lost and Found or something idk)
what's your waist virt? I'm trawling webstores in toronto over the next few workdays for when i head down in a wek and change. can ping ya on decent options if i find any
and how delicate of a pant are you okay with? looking at like a robust twill, tropical something, jersey, etc
I’d like it to be more hardwearing ideally, not one to baby my clothes
But also doesn’t need to be 
sweet as. these are weird and less Lemaire than I think the vibe you're looking for? https://nomadshop.net/collections/pants/products/ol-123-wander-trouser-taupe

Wander Trouser Taupe
Full length nylon trouser in Taupe Integrated belt at elasticated waistband Two hand pockets at front Two welt pockets at back Bungee drawcords behind knees for adjustability Pressed creases at front Mid-rise Wide leg fit Imported 100% polyamide Model is 5'11, 165lbs wearing size 48
Waist is a 28-29 but I’m ok with up to 32 with drawstring
gotcha, fair enough
Those are slightly techier than I’d want but also I have the Uniqlo U pants that are similar enough
Admittedly less wide but these would be the slimmest I’d want the hem I think
def, those are 22cm or so i'd guess on the hem?
I’ve never actually measured my clothes LOL
I’m just lazy and try in person and go by vibe
But I can measure when I’m back home tonight
the best way to go
Colour ideally would be a black or grey
This is so impressive lol
nah fuck it, you're really just looking for a nice straight cut with a loose top block and trying to find something a bit in the Lemaire world without being nutso priced and 3 seasonish if I'm gathering
Dressing at your level without measurements is wild
Nah it’s called trying on everything and taking living in nyc for granted LOL
Al you’re on the money
Wide enough for breezy but drapey enough to feel like the cute Asian girls I see around
the monitaly painters are money, but doesn't look like uncle otis bought em this season
Flowy*
Maybe an 7.5” hem? Purely spitballing with no reference lol
Was considering the black linen Tanger from Casatlantic but they’re money and I don’t wanna return lol
I feel like these might be duds like half of UW but could be worth a tryon https://uncleotis.com/shop/universal-works/pleated-track-pant-in-tropical-suiting-grey/

TANGER
Tanger, our widest fit, is inspired by the type of trousers French officers wore in the hot deserts of North Africa. We've reinterpreted it using a 240gsm (7 oz) herringbone twill fabric. These trousers come unhemmed with a 90cm inseam. Designed and tailored in Casablanca, Morocco.

Auralee Finx Natural Gabardine Product Dyed Pants Fade Ink Black
Auralee came with the heat this summer (HEY OH). These pants are officially the bees knees. The best we've received. Basically an unbelievable pant that will change colour as you walk, talk or even sit. Whatever you're doing people will be at a loss for words when they see you in these bad boys. They will say to themselves, 'Hot damn, what are t...
these are intriguing, any opinions?
These are super fun. It’s cotton gabardine, so could also be pretty breathable for summer

also seems interesting
ive definitely noted that toronto mans clothing is more tech-inspired given the weather conditions
Can’t believe i forgot auralee
Sillage And Anglan too
ngl i haven't been that impressed with Auralee's offerings
i might have overhyped it in my head idk
their pants have just reminded me of tailored trousers and maybe thats just too familiar territory for me
sillage fucks tho, i wanna see their stuff irl
sillage stocked in nyc 👀
Blue in green NYC stocks sillage afk
those auralee ones are decent on sale. canoeclub and ssense have a more flat tan version of them. rare time a garm on ssense doesn't look god awful. Cheaper on canoeclub but being in CA customs might kill ya https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/product/auralee/beige-cinch-trousers/12629171
