Where do I need to go to find cheapish 'youth' (read: skinny leg, low waist) business pants? I've been to Myer and seen Fred Bracks ($70 pair) - totally awesome, but they only have a limited range of styles. David Jones have Mossimo for $300 a pair and I'm guessing tailored pants will be just as expensive.

Anyone know of any shops around Brisbane?

Tarocash (indro, dfo) has some elegant pants that you can wear to work if you're trendy and have an equally cool shirt, not a shirt+tie kit from Lowes...etc..

pants and business do not mix.

Check out ed Harry. $40-50 bucks for business pants.
Don't know what your on about with "youth" but youth fashion and business shouldn't mix. And maybe i didn't get the memo, but I doubt there would be very many acceptable tight business pants out there :|

I don't ever get any business gear from anywhere but Tarocash and Myer. If you can't find anything stylish enough in those two places you either fail at style or you're gay.

Myer have a huge range of pants, however they're made for older men who wear their pants above their belly button. The style these days is to wear them a little lower (duh), however a lot of places do not sell a style that reflect this!

They're not the homo-skinny-jean-type pants that a lot of the emos wear, they're the stylish skinny legs that are still fairly loose but not as baggy as older man trousers.

For example, Fred Bracks (http://www.fredbracks.com.au/default.asp?id=23) pants are the skinny type, compared to Reserve/Country Road or any other brand like that.

I haven't tried Tarocash - will do though.

I'm happy getting it from Myer, however they don't stock the Fred Bracks anymore! :(

edit: I should clarify that it's 'youth business', rather than the youth fashion and business mix

:(
tarocash

Yeah, Tarocash has been good for this kind of thing. JAG and yd too at times.

I just got a nice pair of black pants for work for $100 from YD on the weekend.

Most of my stuff comes from either YD or Tarocash. They are more exy than other places but their shirts are heaps better.

Where can I get business pants that will show a generous portion of my under garmets?

I wear witty cartoon under garmets that match my witty cartoon tie, so I think it all fits in quite nicely.

I also walk with a slight lean to one side.

hmm, never been to YD before, looks worth checking out.

I have not found this to be the case.

me either

also Powerhouse have some half decent ones too... or Always Habbit

I have found Ron Bennett at DFO near the airport to be good.

I can usually pick up woolen pants for $60 - rrp is a claimed $160 or something.

Last time I was there the guy said they were moving most of their stock to the Jindalee DFO store.

heh skinny leg, do you wear skinny leg jeans too?

f*****

i bought some YD pants recently, they are pretty nice

heh skinny leg, do you wear skinny leg jeans too?

No I don't. And if you read my previous posts, they're not exactly skinny legs, it's the name given to thinner legged pants. Douche.

Well shouldn't they be called 'Thinner Leg Pants' rather than 'Skinny Leg' pants if they aren't exactly Skinny Legs?

Mate I just wear them I don't name them

wouldn't want to be caught wearing 'normal' business pants hey?

this thread seems to imply tracksuit pants are not business pants. Did I miss a memo?

Likewise. Good range of different styles, and helpful people.

depends if you work for a real business or not, trog.

Ohhh look at you, Mister Fancy Pants.

you must have a weird navel, or you think bib & brace overalls are pants

I've been wearing pants for at least 2-3 years and have never found a shop selling pants designed to be worn higher than the navel. The vast majority of pants are designed to be actually worn - not dangled around the knees as though you shat your pants

yeah what the f***? i didn't even know there was such a thing as 'skinny leg' and 'low cut' in business pants... and i don't wear mine high at all, on the contrary i tend to find it annoying with how short they are because i'm tall

pants pants pants pants

I've been wearing pants for at least 2-3 years

This thread just got better

Gentlemen, we are at our predetermined vaginal critical mass. One more vagina and this whole thing could blow sky high.









I lied. I just like saying vagina.
Vagina.

Myer have a huge range of pants, however they're made for older men who wear their pants above their belly button.

I used to work in the Myer mens department, and we've never sold pants that came over your belly button... Nor is there "low cut" or "skinny leg" versions. I think you must have those confused with womens pants

You mean pants dedstined for a vagina?

yellow pages dude.



get something custom made. just choose a few peeps and go with the people who earn your trust.


there's nothing sadder than seeing a rep walk in to make a deal that you know will pull millions his/her way in the next few years and s/he doesn't even have the sence to dress the part.


sadder still are people who have this in store and don't even know it, yet blow the opportunity because of how they presented themselves. I kid you not - that's most IT 'professionals' I've come in contact with

How much does tailor made clothing cost?

Go to Rodjer David

Yeah cos the only good trouser is a custom made trouser...Who the hell gets their work clothes custom made? Just go to Tarocash and be done with it.

As for the rep pulling millions, pretty sure most reps pulling millions would have presented well to get the job in the first place. Who are these mysterious million pulling unkempt reps you speak of?

Seriously, if you don't know where to buy your pants from by now, it's a sad state of affairs. Here's a clue...go shopping. Or better still post it on an internet thread primarily concerned with computer games, cos that's where all the fashionistas hang out.

These guys have helped me out in the past.

Harrisons Menswear, 136 Racecourse Rd, ASCOT 3268 2127
Mitchell Ogilvie Menswear, 190 Edward Street, Brisbane 3031 3888

I get my work business pants from trade secret, decent brands and they are all like $30, unless you need a pair to go with a suit (which you should really be buying together anyway) they have all sorts of styles and shades for business work wear. I recommend.

Check out trade secret at chermside off pie street, that place is a freakin goldmine.

I get my work pants from Hard Yakka, Sif Business pants. They rip too easy.

tell him to be more gentle scott
lols!

if you work in admin or retail - shop at Tarocash

IMO if you're in the process of buying business pants, you're probably confusing "youth" with "Old fart". Hence your predicament.

Also;

More like predetermined vaginal clitical mass.

amirite?
