Metrico Trousers
Anybody experience with this Italian outfit?

Their winter range of trousers have caught my eye, they don't seem to have their own website and never heard of them before.

I think that's pay San, the Chinese illegal immigrant who makes them in those Tuscany hills. At those prices, they're certainly not for peasants.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

That's Euros, Bish!
Hmmm, that may well make them either washable at home, or hold a crease longer, along with inevitable man made itch. Still, they look good, at least the material close-up and the buttons. I may yet take the risk, but not until I've still the urge after a week or so.....

Re: Metrico Trousers
I took the risk and although I was looking forward to that definitive Cary Grant silhouette and the "subtile details and relaxed, almost 40ies 50'ies fit", they are rather more of a modern slim fit. Good fabric and well made, but we shall see how good when the weather gets somewhat colder.

Re: Metrico Trousers
I've given up on finding a decent RTW trouser, the popular idea of a good trouser is so far away from what I like in a traditional trouser that I now go MTM (chester barrie) even though the prices are higher than id like. I like double pleats (current zeitgeist is flat fronts) and a high waist (current zeitgeist is sitting on hips) .. sometimes braces and sometimes cinch straps, impossible to find anything close to this in RTW .. I blame the Italians personally.

Re: Metrico Trousers
I wore the Metrico pants today at a charity event, and they loosened up quite nicely with their double pleats and brace buttons, but sadly not high rise. But still bloody good, and so they should be at €255.
