But I have though and I can't find anything appealing. Caveat: I live in Tasmania so my choices are more limited. There are plenty of places that sell jeans, cargo pants and dress pants. All the general trousers (or 'slacks') I've seen are rather dad or grandpa-like.

May have to suck it up and get the least dad-like black wool trousers you can find. They may not be slim fit but with some creative tailoring they may not be that bad.

There's always the option of buying when you get to Vietnam, too. A basic black wool should be available from any tailor there.

I was hoping to find out how tough the tough glove is - i.e. is it going to hold up in humid weather (potentially being socked in rain), and can it handle being bashed around. I've read that the leather is quite thin.

Normally I run in KSOs but if it's raining I go for the Tough Gloves. They're my go to hiking shoes and work great on Utah mountains and Italian cobblestone. Once in a blue moon I put a coat of Pecard's on them but beyond that they've been wonderful. Abuse the hell out of them, they can take it.

Pretty well actually.



These are two years old this fall. So aside from some scruffs on the front they look okay.

Honestly the biggest problem I have is remembering to roll my pants to avoid stepping on the hems--oh, and my wife thinks they're ugly.
