Pants brand recs
I am emerging from skinny jeans hibernation and am rebuilding my pants drawer. I'm trying to go slow and mostly stick with regular fit for now, not truly wide leg. I'm looking for a good brand to check out.
I've had great luck with the base corduroys and cavalry pants from Noah (esp those cavalry pants: they're not too wide, relatively staid style-wise if you buy in neutral colors and not the current-season lime, quality is really good, prices are awesome on sale, made in Portugal). But they're pretty pricey when not on sale.
Does anyone else have recs for high-quality, reasonably priced, made-in-europe or USA pants and/or with higher sustainability/transparency? I've tried Rag and Bone and Todd Snyder but feel like both of those tend to be a little off in terms of quality/fit. I'm ideally looking to spend <$150 so it might be a tall order.

Stan Ray’s made in US line could be a good option. They’re known for fatigues but they make jeans and chinos as well

How often do you see clothes made in the USA? I'll guess not very often. Our durable line of USA made clothes are designed for active lifestyles, so go ahead, try to wear them out. We are a proud 3rd generation family owned company and we guarantee every single stitch and thread.
Orslow is my fav
Also I've been really liking my steven alan danver pants. They are very roomy up top and have a sweet taper. Similar to the cut of hatski jeans
Second vote for Orslow
For flat front chinos I’m Jack Donnelly or bust. MiUSA with MiUSA or Japanese fabrics and Gregg is a good dude. I have a referral code for 25% off that takes some of the sting out of the price (LL25).
Vintage PRL is really hard to beat if you want something with a straight/relaxed fit. The pleated andrew pants are a favorite and the MiUSA versions are really great.
Orslow is awesome for milsurp repro and denim.
I also like MiUSA 501s on eBay
Peter Christian is one of the most slept on brands in menswear IMHO. High quality, very fairly priced, great fit, diverse fabric and color options. Only thing I'm not a huge fan of are their jeans, but I'm really picky about what denim I actually look. Their cords and moleskin are fantastic, if I didn't have a full closet of old miUSA Ralph Lauren chinos I'd be buying more of theirs as well.
