Have your red trousers been washed enough times that they've turned a really sad pink yet or do you replace them regularly with new ones every time this happens.

Recommend me some brogues
I'm after some grown-up shoes as moving towards job-searching soon. Looking for semi or quarter brogues; brown but veering more towards a darker brown, and preferably something I can polish as opposed to a more plasticky finish, though this isn't a deal-breaker. Have looked at Loakes (the...

Yeah but they get pockets. Proper pockets too, not weird little flaps that you can't even fit a key into. Swings and roundabouts.

Likewise. Love moleskin. Warm in winter. I have a dark green moleskin shirt atm. Love it, but it took a dozen washes to get it right.
Always on the lookout for some black moleskin jeans, but the ones I see look badly cut, or at least cut for old men.

Tbh, I thought chinos were “smart casual”. Can’t think of anything else that isn’t suit trousers or “slacks”.
My dad once told me I should stop wearing jeans and get some slacks. I didn’t.

I've got some adidas golfing trousers. No crease, elasticated waist, very forgiving

I always wondered why plus fours were called that. Every day’s a school day.
I'd say cord or wool trousers, I'm guessing getting the shape of the wool trousers right that will make them less suit like, jumbo cord wide legs are good. Probably means spending some money though. Or these cotton ones look much nicer and less 'clean' than your average chino.

Their chords are nice too, not wide legged, but a good cut, the brown ones are lovely:

I'm sure killer b could advise as I generally have no idea where you would buy what I think might work, though I've noticed he might be having a break, so I won't tag him.

I fucking hate buying jeans/trousers as I can never find any that fit properly. I have short legs, but large thighs due to work/cycling. Anything that fits the top half of my legs/waist is usually about 6” too long.

There is a Facebook group of the same name and about 3 years ago there was a big fall out amongst the ‘main’ members.Look at my fucking red trousers!

Naturally a breakaway group was formed, which was called ‘look at my fucking red trouser too’ and to this day members of both groups hate each other with a passion

Yeah, both of those would work. Too spendy for daily working with children though.

But that's definitely the sort of thing...I think.
Wool would be good, I saw lovely purply blue trousers the other day, but dry clean only.
Dress codes are stupid, but if I have to comply I want to do it on my terms, not some horrid shit that I would never wear if I had the choice.

Same. I'm 6ft tall but with 30 inch legs so I have to turn all my jeans up

I’ve just spent a while searching to see if anyone on the whole internet wants to sell me a pair of olive green lady-moleskin trousers in my approximate size and found not a single one. Mountains of men ones .
Look for large kid's ones in shooting shops.

I'm curious what the fall out was about now.
Difference of opinion about acceptable shades of red or width of turn-ups, or something else?

Did see those. They are not olive and they’ve got Lycra in them which I do not want.

i still don't get it. If you buy 'plus fours' that says you get four inches of fabric below the knee.. plus twos you get two inches. but why why is this good or useful what is it for is it depending on how long yr socks are or what. Why don't they just wear you know, trousers.
