I bought these pants during a work trip to NYC. They are a pair of heavy gray flannel slacks, that has a blazer to match, but I waited way too long to snatch that up. I had them check other stores, but no store had it in my size. I believe I got the pants for about $29 when they were originally $118 (gotta love those sales racks). The pants were a 34, when I normally wear a 31 or 32. That’s fine for me to size up because I normally have issues with getting my quads into Club Monaco pants when I try to wear true to size.
It took me a while to get these to my seamstress, again, been traveling quite frequently for the job and for pleasure on the weekend as of lately. I’m not a huge fan of french cuffs, so when I was taking my “after” pics, I switched up the shirt.
Too warm/hot to wear them now, but they’ll be ready to go for next season. And in case you missed it - Club Monaco Fall 2010 Lookbook shot by Garance Dore
