Why haven't you already ordered the black and white ones, since those are so fab? &nbsp;You will kick yourself if you don't!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1399592 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 18:06:16 +0000 catgirl 1399592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes.&nbsp; Can't wait to see your WIW!&nbsp; They are also loads of fun to walk in, and the length in P is perfect for me... lots of swishy 70's goodness.&nbsp; I always loved Mary Tyler Moore (and Rhoda) - every career gal's inspo!&nbsp; </p> <p>We need to brainstorm ways to wear these and topper styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1399589 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 18:02:25 +0000 viva 1399589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I got the regular 6. I'm 5'5", and I think I have pretty long legs (thanks to short/no waist). I do need heels for these to work, but I have black suede booties with a 2" heel which are absolutely perfect with them. Can't wait to wear the pants!!! Tomorrow for sure. It will be my present for meeting today's deadline, which I still have to do. :)</p> <p>I love your "mountaineering woman" description. I'll have to put them on and dream about vacationing with Ernest Hemingway. Seems like something a gal might have worn while out doing manly things with him. With a silver flask tucked into my jacket pocket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1399578 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 17:48:22 +0000 catgirl 1399578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VIVA!&nbsp; I didn't realize you actually bit.&nbsp; I want to see them on you!&nbsp; Did you get the regular 6?&nbsp; Aren't they fantastically made?&nbsp; The wool isn't supersoft but it feels durable - like something a woman would have worn on a mountaineering expedition a century ago to stay warm and protected.&nbsp; The lining makes them comfy.&nbsp; And yes, the pockets!&nbsp; I also found the rise really comfy - not too low or too high.&nbsp; </p> <p>So glad you love them.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; And now I can rely on you for sizing help, knowing you're just a bit taller! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1399501 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:31:41 +0000 viva 1399501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine just arrived. They are PERFECT. And they kicked those JCrew 3x1 skinnies right out of the closet and back out to UPS. (Interesting lesson: today I am wearing skinnies as part of my silhouette and it was a challenge to put an outfit together. Hmmm.) </p> <p>Anyway, I don't have a single pair of wool trousers and I adore the plaid, the fit, and the silhouette of these. I'm just bracing for the "whhhhhaaaaat????" from DDs .... but that's okay. I'm going to have fun with these. Size 6 is perfect, inseam works great with heeled booties. Will be posting pics as part of my five-silhouette. Definitely keeping.</p> <p>Thanks for the tip and the inspiration, Una. I've slowed down my shopping considerably, almost to a halt. It's been so wonderful to be focusing so much on my closet, and then such a joy to have a purchase that works so well. I'm learning a lot from this. </p> <p>ETA - you know what detail I love about them? Those tiny straight slash pockets at the front. I'm not sure why I love them so much, but to me they totally make the pants.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1398730 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 05:39:22 +0000 MsLuna 1398730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loooooooooove!!!!

So glad none have been spied so far! For those who are considering, I am happy to answer questions about fit. And thank you all for the resounding confirmation! </p> <p>I have eyed the Collection for a while now - there are plaid pants every year and the blackwatch tipped me over the edge. Just luck!</p> <p>Oh and Debbie, I meant 70s the decade. :). It's 22 degrees here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1397760 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 18:36:16 +0000 Karie 1397760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I keep returning to this post because I am so in love with those trousers! According to the website, the regular length inseam is 33" - AND THAT SHOULD BE LONG ENOUGH FOR ME!! (Sorry for the shouting.) I am giving these serious consideration. But I don't need them. But Christmas is coming </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1397708 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 16:09:33 +0000 MsMary 1397708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>O.

I would have passed them up as too wide, too plaid, etc.&nbsp; But you're right--you do look tall and beautiful in them.&nbsp; And the silly thing is that I had a pair of very similar wide-legged plaid woolen pants when I was 21, and they made me look tall, too!&nbsp; There's a lesson here . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1397546 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 04:29:11 +0000 Windchime 1397546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another strong vote to keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ll-bean-plaid-pants-please-say-keep/page/2#post-1397543 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 04:25:43 +0000 Karie 1397543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, these are gorgeous!
