MichaelAce Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 I've been searching on Google Images, Google Shopping, Amazon and a few french websites since I live here and so, it costs more to import stuff from America for example The closest thing I found was this: 100% cotton, straight fit (not relaxed..), multiple colors but costs around $50 with import https://www.amazon.com/IZOD-American-Chino-Front-Straight/dp/B007U1ZV7E/ref=pd_sbs_641_5/140-9482048-0082335?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07S161ZGR&pd_rd_r=45fdc43b-46b3-4935-87f4-c84cab28661e&pd_rd_w=hMuLt&pd_rd_wg=SWoon&pf_rd_p=d66372fe-68a6-48a3-90ec-41d7f64212be&pf_rd_r=Z2HC40DM1105R242HGJ2&refRID=Z2HC40DM1105R242HGJ2&th=1&psc=1 Do you guys know where I could find something better and larger with linen, cotton or even silk if it doesn't shine ? Something that would look like this (on the right) in black: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunMVO Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I would suggest 100% linen or a linen-cotton blend for maximum Crockett look. Cotton is good too, but can be kind of thick and rigid. https://www.macys.com/shop/product/lauren-ralph-lauren-mens-classic-fit-solid-linen-dress-pants?ID=4460749&PseudoCat=my-wl-xx-xx.mylist_pdp These are what I wear. They're not top-tier quality but good enough. I have fallen two waist sizes since last year at this time, so I've had to buy a lot of them. Only thing is, if you cut out the polyester lining that is on the lighter-colored ones, the hems seem to fray easily. Again, not the best quality but good enough and they fit the look very well. My favorite part about them is how consistent the fit is. They tend to fit me just right. However, you're not in America as you've said, so you probably can't buy from Macy's. You can also check out Cubavera for linen dress pants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicegirl85 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 If you are going for a loose fit, here's one that has double pleats: https://www.clothingconnectiononline.com/daniel-ellissa-men-s-wide-leg-pants-double-pleated?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrYTM2MvJ5AIVFcNkCh24Mg1_EAQYCiABEgKApPD_BwE It's available in white, khaki, "silver", tan, ivory, rust, black, brown, navy and kind of a darkish green. However it looks like the smallest waist size is 30. Right now they are on sale for $39. I don't know how difficult/expensive it might be to have the waist taken in, but men's trousers are often made with a seam that can "easily" be opened up in the back to make minor waistline adjustments (so 28" might be quite possible to attain). Dry cleaners (in the US) often offer alteration services and I've had things altered that were done for what I thought was a very reasonable cost. These pants have "an ultrasoft microfiber finish" although they came up when I entered "men's loose-fit pleated linen pants". Unfortunately if you do like them it looks like they only ship to the US and Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IA-SteveB Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) My favorite linen pants so far have been the Marc Anthony brand. They fit very nicely but aren't as loose looking as what DJ is wearing. Too bad you aren't in the states because they are on clearance for as low as 15 bucks. I like them because of the drawstring since I go beltless when in MV mode. When you have a big phone in your pocket the drawstring is a must.

Very ballsy move of you to wear an all-white (except for the shirt) outfit like that. But it looks good on you because you know how to wear it! Have you considered taking photos in different poses instead of just in your kitchen? I have always liked pictures of me where I'm leaning or kind of slouching while wearing the look. It helps give off that "IDGAF" Crockett vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelAce Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Okay I found what I was looking for it's a brand called "Palm Beach" which makes the same kind of pants that's in the picture above with the arrow next to the button: https://www.amazon.com/Palm-Beach-Expander-Pleat-Regular/dp/B01MZBU385/ref=sr_1_17?dchild=1&qid=1575650408&refinements=p_4%3APalm%2BBeach&s=apparel&sr=1-17&th=1&psc=1 It looks amazing and they make it with different materials Edited December 6, 2019 by AdrienSpy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't make loose/relaxed pants anymore these days... and since I'm in France, I have between $20 and $30 of import costs so I couldn't return it, it would cost me as much as the pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IA-SteveB Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Yikes. Import costs are crazy. I hope they work out. This reminds me of my luck on eBay. If I find a great used blazer that I really want it might be $10 and $28 shipping from the UK. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Vice Dealer Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) On 9/8/2019 at 7:36 PM, MichaelAce said: I'm searching for these kind of pants too, it's such a headache! In Russia people call them '' banana pants / бананы '' because of the wide shape and thin end. It's really very difficult to find them nowadays. The closest thing to this one one could get are the harem or parachute pants, NOT the M. C. Hammer kind of harem pants but baggy pants with a wide waist and an upside down triangle shape. You can find plenty of Asian styled harem pants on ebay (some of which are linen) but they are still far from being the exact pleated suit pants used by Crockett. There is some kind of 1980s clothing revival here in Europe (at least here in Spain) but unfortunately the greatest pieces are made for women although there is some unisex stuff too. Here is some picture reference for these kind of pants: Some of these unique examples by Z. Cavaricci, Bugle Boy...pop up from time to time, but You have to be very lucky to catch one of these in a fitting size and affordable price.
