guys, I've been looking for smart casual pants, white or cream color.

Dockers and Banana Republic both have good pants, which I like a lot, but too bad my waist size is 28, and the smallest they have is 30, anywhere I can get smaller size pants?

thanks a lot

Care to share more details? Do you mean buying off-shelf first then find some tailor to alter?

smallest size BR carries is 29 actually...

assuming u don't mind paying BR prices u have a number of other options, no? Zara, Topman, etc...

I am also lookinh for slim/skinny casual pants but in black or dark brown. topman doesn't have any to my liking cos they do no really have anything in the middle, either formal pants or jeans. Zara ones are not slim enough for me.

29 is for those straight cutting pants, whereas for the slim cutting ones, the smallest size is 30. I tried them on, slightly loose on the waist, and they don't do alteration...

Zara pants are way too big for me, I've been there.

I am more than willing to pay the BR price, if I could find a good fit from them.

It's always been difficult for me to get pants, too bad to be too slim

Hi, was wondering, is a shirt without left breast pocket any less formal than one that does? I juz ordered a couple of shirts to be tailored, slim fit cutting, and when ask if i wanted breast pockets, i said yes then..
but now i'm having second thoughts about the pockets..considering calling them up to take away the pocket.. please let me know what do you guys think about pockets on shirts..thx..

 

[hst201]

anyone knows where to find nice brown formal shoes (other than pedro)? those dark brown ones... seems like pedro dont have nice ones this time around...

Lots of places - Tangs and Takashimaya is a good place to start.

I don't like pedro at all in terms of quality. The leather looks "plasticy".

A shirt without pockets will always look more formal. In fact, you will find most English and French brand shirts to be without pockets.

I suggest that you don't go for pockets if you don't actually use it. In fact, I find it not too cool to carry things in your front pocket. Just my personal views.

Yes, w/o pocket feels less formal, but does not mean not formal at all. However, i feel for some of the designs it looks better w/o the pockets esp when it's spread or wing collars. I think more importantly, is if you have a need of the pocket, like if you need to carry a pen or not? I also seldom make shirts with pocket nowadays..
