Thank you. I actually have a tapered pair without pleats made by the same tailor. However, I prefer deep pockets The pair shown has verrrry deep ones, I wouldn't get that without pleats and French pockets.old henry wrote:Franz, those trousers would be better without pleats. If you want them tapered like that the line would be much better without pleats.
The bunching is partly due to lifting the arms. Actually, I lost some weightalden wrote: Is the bunching and waviness in the top half due to your lifting to take the picture or is it always there? It tells me, as I suspected, that you need more room in the top....just a bit. Is the waist measure right on, or a little small (after the Holidays. )
And how does the rise feel to you?
The rise is perfect, the fit is very comfortable. I have had these trousers for more than 3 years and to be honest they've been the most comfortable pants I own so far. They will go back for a "sponge & press" soon, I'll address these issues then.

Size is 9.5 UK. The cuffs look rather narrow in the picture, but they measure 20.5 cm (8 inch something).
The suit trousers by the same tailor measure 22 cm.
The picture is cheating as far as proportions are concerned.
The mirror in that room was leaning against a wall, and a pic from a bird's eyes view will give some distortions. My seat looks wider than it is
I'm not that young anymore, but thanks for the complimentalden wrote:But here we have young clients who are stunned by the concept who have clearly never been asked. And they are going to SR tailors. So they are just getting a stock MTM pattern trouser and that's it! And that's exactly what it looks like.
Mr. Morgan does not offer MTM at all, he's very categorical about that. He is devoted to passing on the most traditional tailoring crafts to younger tailors. I know both the coat maker and trouser maker personally.
This is the original model from the 1970s.
It's a very particular look. But to be honest I like it.
I agree, trousers in a wide full cut can look very elegant. I do not think you'll get them many places in London today.
A tailor in Slovakia cuts pants the traditional way, but then they look particular almost like waders these days too, no?
