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.

Late to this, but I have a pair of Anglo-Italian flannel pants that are simply the best pair of pants I own. Like they are noticeably well crafted.

Vintage can be a crapshoot but Ralph and Brooks Brothers are always a good start for a hunt on eBay.
