WIWT: 9-29-11. Did you get those LE flannels cuffed from the factory or did you have them cuffed yourself? I just ordered the same ones (on back order until 10/14) and got them cuffed. I just want to know what to expect. Thanks!

They’re not the flannel trousers, they’re the regular year-rounder wool ones. I got them unfinished and took them to my tailor, who tapered them to a 7.5” leg opening, took in the seat and did the hem and cuff.

I don’t typically get my trousers pre-hemmed or cuffed if I can help it. While it’s a nice service LE offers, I know I have to take them in anyway to a tailor, so I might as well get them all done in one shot.

Definitely a fan though of their trousers (and suiting). Probably the best budget-buy trousers out there you can get, provided you’re willing to fork over some extra money for alterations.
