Smart but easy on men's trousers for a mature gentleman

No, I'm not the trousers perve!

I've just got off the phone to my nanna who has got herself in a bit of a kerfuffle. She wants to get my grandad some new trousers for Christmas, but at 93 trawling the shops is a bit beyond her now. Grandad is 94 himself and his mobility isn't great either so he isn't one for clothes shopping. Hence why I am using my 'new fangled device' to do the deed.

However Grandad has never worn a pair of jeans or joggers in his life and isn't about to- he's more of a shirt and tie man. I've got absolutely no idea where to look either as I have never had to do this kind of thing before. The only stipulation is that they have to be formal trousers that are pull on style.

Does anyone have any suggestions for online shops I could try?

Have a look at Chums Trousers

Or these?

I'm on a roll now! We needed similar for my dad, who insisted on being as smart as a pin at the same age, so I hope you find some!

Interested in this thread?

I think somewhere like Cotton Traders would have pull-on trousers.

You're looking for what my dad calls 'slacks'. Try looking up Farah, a good Seventies brand that's still going Grin

Chums - that was where we bought mylate grand fathers trousers. Good quality and good customer service.

Thank you all for your ideas. I've promised to take my children around after school for what Nanna calls 'high tea' complete with my new fangled device (aka tablet). I'm sure Nanna will be delighted by your suggestions.
