Most versatile pants color and material?
What would be the most versatile pants that I can wear with almost any sort of sportscoat? Gray wool trousers?

Yeah
Tan/khaki/doe skin color would also be really good but it depends on the jackets you own
Navy, black, and some checks and windowpane tweeds. I’m mainly concerned with the checks just wanna find something that will go with them
When in doubt, mid grey. Flannels for winter, tropical wool for summer (usually). I'd say a more matte grey is better than a shinier grey, it's easier to dress up matte grey than dress down shiny grey
And a well cut grey flannel trousers with a half lining feels like wearing sweatpants almost, I Iove them personally
Yeah I was looking at medium grey flannel trousers seem they’d be best to pair with anything
Meant to reply to this
I get a lot of mileage out of mine, especially an older 4 pleat pair I found on eBay. Great with chunky knitwear
Where do you get your knitwear
I’m looking for some donegal ones
Is Inis Meáin worth
Inis are great
These guys are really good for the price too https://www.genuinescottishknits.com/collections/chunky-donegal-crew-neck-jumper
Genuine Scottish Knits
Chunky Donegal Crew Neck Jumper
We are a small family run business based in beautiful South West Scotland. Everything you see in our shop is made in our own factory in Annan which is a small town near Dumfries. The knitwear we sell are absolutely best quality and at genuine factory prices.
I was looking at them too cause someone else suggested
The sweaters are thick enough?
Yeah definitely thick enough, those chunky ones are 3-ply so they will be very warm indeed
Inis Meain is a great brand with great knitwear, pretty easy to find on eBay usually in great condition. Batoner is it Japanese brand pretty easy to find in the US with amazing chunky, drapey knits. O'Connell's has a great New Old Stock section for knitwear with great deals on vintage pieces. Aran sweater Market is my favorite for cheap beater pieces, in the same price point as good knitwear companies like peregrine and Gloverall.
