Banks, and ended up settling for single pleated.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

I admit, I looked at suits with flat front pants. I don't have an issue with them. I would just never wear pleated pants with no cuff. That would look horrible. Believe me, I know - for my very first suit in high school (before I knew the rules) I got no cuffs and pleats. It was a major embarrassment.
Besides, pleated pants have their place in the world. Not everyone has the same body type. Pleats provide a more "roomy" fit for those who need it. It Forcing yourself into ill-fitting flat fronts doesn't make any sense if they are not flattering.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Also, I've never said I don't have any pleated or cuffed pants. I've only said that I don't prefer them.
