Pants again...

I must be cursed! I´ve found a second-hand shop, where they had a huge number of beatiful jackets, 4 USD each, I wanted to save all in my size, but I´m a little bit on a budget right now, so I took only the one I´m having trouble with now. The shop was great for jackets but there were absolutely no pants at all, so I have to make a decision once again and since I´m quite a newbie in this with very limited selection of pants (I´m about 6 feet and 3 inches tall with very long legs - have you ever tried to dig up pants of this size?), I have to ask your opinion.

Here are the three candidates:

The combination on the first photo seemed right yesterday evening, but on daylight, it´s probably the "too close colors" issue. (the pants are grey with decent blue stripes). The second picture looks fine for me and the third is very arguable, but I like it. (and please, pardon the cuffs, one would wonder how a manipulation with camera can mess up the whole look...)

So which of these three you think is the best? Or shall I go and do some more shopping, before I can wear this jacket?

I'm probably just backing up your first thoughts: carry on shopping, I should think.:(

Mmm, that´s what I was afraid of :( I´ll go for a hunt tommorow... Now I need a hint what to look for? I guess that it´s impossible to find the same fabric pants, so?

How much are the last 2 trousers? I quite like #2, and #3 is certainly workable. That's just going off color and the fit I can see; I can't really tell much on fit or break. Bottom line, though -- if you're not comfortable with it, don't spend the money on it.

Don Carlos,
I think, arguably, the 2nd and 3rd are the most functional, from an aesthetic opinion and by the color combo.
I usually have a hard time finding trousers that fit me Perfect. Almost always have to get them tailored. Im '5 7" so it's alittle more forgiving to find something in between sizes than, say, with your specs. They're out there, that's for sure! I would say do some more looking! You can never have too many trousers! ;)
