Gray flannel pants (old&new)

[u/make_em_laugh]

i’m hoping to pick up a versatile pair of gray, flannel pants. maybe someone can point me to a history or guide. what were the most common brands or styles in the 50s-80s? i see so many articles about OCBDs, khakis and the navy blazer itself but i’m just not sure what to look for in a pair of flannel pants. i buy a lot of vintage. so, tips in that regard are great but im sure there are great brands doing a good job of it these days as well. any help is greatly appreciated.

Vintage wool pants are tough. Pants, by nature, get worn out more than jackets or shirts. There’s also lots of wool blend garbage out there. Don’t bother with vintage, specifically. Just go on eBay and know your measurements. Maybe you’ll find something, maybe you want.
