Etsy is a "marketplace" website, which I've used, but not for trousers. I've had a look at the various sellers' offerings on Etsy, most of which (for new trousers) seem to be from outside the UK. Some look pretty good.Does anyone know a trusted good quality source for fishtail trousers? Not corduroy or man made textiles.
I did find a store called Etsy with some nice looking examples but I have never really heard anything about the place. My other choice is to consider a made to measure pair.
Any suggestions most appreciated
They're high-waisted, fairly roomy if you like, or if your figure allows, as tight as you want in the upper regions. The fly is usually button, and they generally have buttons for braces/galluses/US "suspenders" (in UK an item of women's underwear or men's sock hold-ups) and sometimes a cinch-back strap (like old Levis). If you prefer to hold your trousers up with braces from your shoulders rather than a belt, then these will do.I looked the term up and still have no idea what fishtail trousers are other than from the pictures that all show people wearing pants that don't fit.
What are fishtail trousers and what advantages do they offer?

Excellent reply ferum and most appreciated. I shall explore those suppliers you made mention of and hopefully find what I am after. I may still look at the tailored bespoke route and I'll try a few local shops for pricing and material choice.
Indeed I am after the fishtail which is very defined and raised at the back and not just simply a 'notch' as you rightfully describe.
Why? I used to have a few pairs well in the past and they are trousers which have always rather suited me. It was a suggestion from my wife as she does like different and she knows what suits me more than I ever do. Plus I do like braces but the usual clip on type never quite look right to me. Buttons are a far more attractive and practical preference.
I'd go so far as to say that they are best if bespoke anyway, and my own view is that they can be ill-fitting if not so made.
Very dapper, you will look grand sporting a pair of those Chris.It's only taken 4 years since I started this thread but I did finally manage to buy a pair. Absolutely made up.
Braces are on the Christmas list
