So I am in need of some cheap/affordable dress pants as an upgrade to my casual polo andrew chinos I have been wearing. I picked up two pair of the Ralph Lauren wool dress slacks at Macy's this weekend for $60 a piece but noticed that Jos is doing a sale on their signature or exec pants for thanksgiving, two for $150...wondering thoughts on which are the way to go, also if there are other better suggestions. Thanks

Since you live in Boston, have you tried Filene's?

What line of Ralph? Lauren (Green Label) or Polo?

If you don't mind pleats, JCPenney sells a great line of Stafford worsted wool trousers for about $40.

I've got 3 pairs of the RL dress pants (the green label) and I quite like them for the price range - they're comfortable and warmer than the feel of the material would make you think, but still breathe well. I'd very much miss the gray check pair if something happened to them.

Green Label I believe

From Sierra Trading Post I just picked up three pairs of Corbins for around $30/pair. They're fully alterable, lined to the knee, 100% wool, fairly well made. What else could you ask for? Retail price on these is $125/pair.

 

[Mad Hatter]

I'll second the Corbins from STP.

 

[Mathew J]

Thanks, I looked at those and unfortunately they don't have my size.

 

[Pentheos]

They didn't have my size either, so I ordered up one, and found to my delight that they fit perfectly. Look again.

Isn't it still closed for renovations? It was when I was there in June.

I have no idea. I would think that there are others around in the area that are still open.
