Straight Leg Pants

[ArrowCollarMan]

Is there a common department store or anywhere where I can find traight leged slacks? I have the hardest time because the style of pants nowadays in tapered leg (where its wide at the top and gradually gets narrower to the bottom). I have no problem finding straight leg jeans but slacks it seems impossible. Please help!

I have dickies, they don't look so great on me. I was thinking dressy.

You'll likely have more chance of eventually finding some over there in the states than I would here in the UK ! You're so right - every pair of ready made pants in the stores all seem to be noticeably tapered. I think that even what you describe as 'straight leg' pants are going to have some taper, but its a case of finding some with very little taper, which really equates to wider bottoms. I like Bills M1 khakis which are very generously cut with a high rise in a 40s style and although there is some taper in the leg, its certainly not as noticeable as some of the stuff you'll find in the average menswear store. I know what you're thinking - KHAKIS !!! but if Bills are starched and pressed they look really dressy. As for comfort you'll like them a lot and they're available in various shades ( and weights of cotton etc)

Corbin makes them and they're widely available. Call them for the store nearest you. And Oxxford is another option, as well.

I have a pair of higher waisted straight leg relaxed pants from..... The GAP!

They have a good texture and are a heavy fabric that drapes well. I put on suspender buttons and a good set of suspenders.

Don't know how old they are as I picked them up in thrift store for a couple of bucks.
