[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to Banana Republic this weekend and everything was immaculate styling, minimalist, Carolyn Bessette in the 90s type stuff. All gorgeous, expensive![/quote]

I remember BR in the 90s.  A nice pair of pants for work - good quality wool, full lined - was about $70-80 on sale, so the original price was somewhere in the $100-120 range.  And it was a real price, people paid it since the sales usually happened only at the end of the season, and if your size is gone, it’s gone.

Anyway, given the inflation, today’s equivalent of those pants would be something around $300.  But people have been trained by the fast fashion to expect $20 pants and wear them a few times before discarding.  Places like Shein can probably even offer something for $10.  You get what you pay for.[/quote]

I'm willing to accept that I would have to pay $300 for fully lined wool pants but are they even available? Even expensive clothes are usually made of synthetics now. Where can I go to try stuff on? I don't like online shopping.[/quote]

DP. I checked out that link, and look at the fabric content of for example these: https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=6038950024006#pdp-page-content

55% recycled wool, 18% recycled nylon, 15% polyester, 10% silk, 2% others.

I really don't think that's what PP meant by fully lined wool pants. It's certainly not what I would mean by fully lined wool pants. Also as a petite with relatively short legs I would be swallowed alive by every single style on that site, though I'm willing to accept that I am not BR's target shape.

Brooks appears to have actual wool pants (a few mix in some spandex, but not all) for women for about $200, full price $300 (so the stated price): https://www.brooksbrothers.com/l/wool-pants-women.html?srsltid=AfmBOopyPDi6mFjwSVRL3DTffBw7MYu8EEbKX9poklxEjPRqMT_c8rwp[/quote]
