David Brooks Tweed Pants - Wool-Rayon (For Women)

I have these pants in black. They are a good basic wardrobe staple. The waist is large for me and like all pants these days they will need to be shortened.

These pants are true to size if you usually buy medium priced pants. I usually buy less expensive pants and usually wear a size 12. I was able to wear a size 10 in these pants and they fit perfect! The quality seems outstanding and the price couldn't have been better.

The fit of these trousers is great for women with wide waists and narrow hips - the trousers hang really well and are comfortable. The length was on the long side, which I like. The only problem with these trousers was the fabric - the tweed was small and cheap looking, the fabric was thin, and the brown color was a mix of dark caramel and yellow green which really limited its versatility. Perhaps the black tweed would be better.

Fit is very comfortable, look is flattering, warm when the weather is cold, but not too hot when the day warms up.

I'm generally a fan of David Brooks for office and casual wear. Their trousers are fairly well-made (compared to everything else coming out of China) and seem to be designed for real women's bodies. Although the seat and hips are cut well on this model, the waist is too big -- it should lie smoothly just below navel but the reinforced waistband sticks out and creates a gap under sweaters or smooth-fitting tops. Legs are too long (I'm 5'6-1/2") Fabric is itchy, as others say. But the pant is lined in the leg, so if you tuck in a blouse, it's wearable. Fabric is good-looking, versatile tweed, richer in brown than charcoal.

Others said these pants were itchy although lined, and I agree. They were also a little tight. I have tried on several David Brooks pants and some fit and some are tight (but would be too big in a larger size).

GOOD LOOKING PANTS, GREAT COLOR JUST A BIT TOO ROOMY AND VERY LONG
