Grey flannels - a classic pair of trousers

Grey flannels are a staple of many gentlemen's wardrobes. Ours are made by Meyer of Germany, who are known for their excellent quality and fine detailing.

Wool-rich (with 60% wool, 38% polyester, 2% elastane) these classic grey flannels are made from a comfortable strech fabric that is washable at 40 degrees. 

They have a stretch waist with button and hook fastening, belt loops, and five pockets - including a zipped security pocket that's perfect for your credit card or money. The Meyer detailing includes an attractive Paisley pattern lining.

Meyer grey flannels pair well with our Peter England white long-sleeved shirt and our Grip Top socks in charcoal or mid-grey.

You can order Meyer grey flannels securely online, or you are welcome to call us in the shop on 01874 623613 to find out more or to order by telephone.
