My newest piece of gear. Wested pants!
I just received my Wested pants and am thrilled with them!
The pant is 100% wool and unlined. It does not need the lining because the wool is not scratchy. It has a comfortable feel to it. They are not too heavy, imho. I could wear these pants in most weather conditions and not feel uncomfortable.
I tried to show the material pattern in these two pictures.
I have to say these surpass the 'close enoughs' by a long shot! I should know, I have plenty of them!
The pants have a screen look 'Indy' drape to them similar to what I see in the Wested lambskin jacket. Did I mention dressy? I can wear these to work(in an office) with a shirt and tie and look presentable.
If anyone is on the fence regarding a purchase of these, I say go for it! $85.00 USD is not too much for a pair of quality wool pants.
These are very worth the money. You could do just about anything wearing them short of being dragged behind a truck, and they should last you a long time. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks.

I agree with Feraud there. They're pretty darn good trousers, I just got a pair along with an Indy shirt from them about three days ago. There's nothing I don't like about them, in fact if they had them in more colours I'd replace all my work trousers with them.
*UPDATE*
Here is a photo taken indoors today of my Wested trousers, taken with a flash. My jacket looks almost black but you know how the leather reacts in different lighting conditions. The small circular spot in the pic is what the leather colour looks like in the sun. Hope this helps with how the trousers drape.

As far as I know you only get the standard colour. As for sizing, I just went for my normal jeans waist measurement - worked out swell.Captain D wrote:Thank you for your reply! One last question, if I may: When you order, are there different colors to choose from or when you order the pants, do they simply come as one standard color?
Kind Regards,

My pants are the 'new' color as pictured in T.E. Lawrence's post
in this discussion.
I do not think Wested has a color option. Maybe someone who ordered direct from Wested can answer this question?

I find it very interesting that the color of the pants change in all four of Feraud's pictures as well as Little Venice's pix. Just goes to proove that lighting makes a world of difference. Nice pants guys. By the way, this is the only place that I know of that we can check out another guy's pants and be perfectly okay with that .

I think so too. I am very happy with Wested's products after receiving my pants. I will certainly order the shirt. I was considering the WPG shirt but feel it is cut too full in the body.Cryptid~Explorer wrote:But the colour of the wested shirt
looks very much like what was seen on screen.
btw, your avatar is killing me!

Re: My newest piece of gear. Wested pants!
Feraud:
Thanks for the pics.
I've been holding off on Wested shirt/trousers ... after seeing your pics ... not for much longer.
... occasionally I'll comment on their shirts but only if I can 'dis' them by adding ... where did your wife find that?

That's true - that would be a noticeable violation of the "Guy Code" (Don't all stone me at once, Ladies - it's not an opinion - just a fact): there's no way I'd comment on the cut, drape, and fit of any of my friend's pants :!:Indiana Neri wrote: ...

Re: My newest piece of gear. Wested pants!
Thanks Canyon!
From reading the posts here I knew the Wested jacket was going to be quality. What I did not expect was how nice the pants are! Maybe I did not read enough good reviews but I am totally impressed by these pants. Going forward I will always chime in with a compliment on them!
I hope to post a few pics of the 'pants in action' soon.
Don't be afraid to throw a 'dis' in there! It's all good!!
