Firstly, is there a compendium of RTW trousers discussions? and is there a survey of the very best RTW trouser-makers?

Secondly, can someone--anyone--comment upon the quality of Ballin wool trousers? There has been discussion here of this firm before but rather superficial. :cool2:

I bought 3 pairs, but cannot really compare them to anything else because I am just starting to build my wardrobe.

I bought one each of the wool gabardine, microfiber gabardine, and natural stretch dress pant. I have worn each pair once and so far I prefer the wool and natural stretch to the microfiber. I have not worn them enough to tell how they hold up and I do not know how to judge quality. I am most likely going to need to take them in for tailoring since even though I ordered them in 30 length, they are still a little long.

The only other pants I have are pairs from Brooks Brothers outlet 346 suit separates that I have. I find the fit of the suit pants to be a little more tailored.

From reading threads here it seems like people are also satisfied with:
Kirkland Wool Trousers
Brooks Brothers Wool Trousers
Lands End Year'rounder dress pant
Jos A Bank Traveler/Executive Wool Trousers (to some extent)
