Men of the Lounge! A question about suits.
Do they make them with pants that don't have pleats?


My husband looks terrible in pleats, but all the &$#@ suits I ever see have pleated pants.

Is my husband the only man on the planet who looks downright dorky in pleats?

:shrug:

1. Sure, ask the sales person at your local men's shop
for a suit with flat-front trousers. They're usually clearly marked.

3. He asked at a department store and was told
"I think they're all made with pleats"


You have a suit with no pleated pants? You have seen that such a thing exists with your own eyes?


Will you take my husband shopping? :silly:

5. I used to work for The Men's Wearhouse.
Flat-fronted trouser suits are only about 3% of the inventory, if that.

Keep trying.

6. How do you hang them properly?
Pleats are great for that.

2. I hate pleats.
Make me look fat... all the extra fabric. I have several pairs of dress pants w/o pleats.

7. I also hate pleats. Keep searching and consider coats and pants sold
separately. If your regular stores can't help you, then change stores.

Good luck.
