Meyerin DFW
German trouser making, with more choice of rise than most makers offer.
Meyer trousers at The Man’s Shop in Arlington. German trouser making built around fit and comfort, in a range of rises and leg shapes, hemmed here in the shoes you will wear. We are in downtown Arlington and serve the whole metroplex.
What matters
Worth knowing
- What it is
- Trousers made to a fit-first brief, with the waistband and seat properly constructed.
- Choice of rise
- Several rises rather than one. It is the measurement that decides whether you are comfortable at four in the afternoon.
- Cloth
- Year-round wools and cottons, plus genuinely light cloths that get more wear in this climate.
- Waistband
- Constructed to sit without a belt taking the strain.
- Hemmed here
- Standing, in your shoes, cuffed or plain, decided when you can see it.
- Who it suits
- Men who have never found a rise that works, which is more of them than admit it.
- Cloth for here
- The lighter end gets far more wear in this climate than the year-round weights.
- Two rises
- Worth trying both. The difference in comfort over a day is considerable.

Common questions
Trousers, answered
What is Meyer known for?
German trouser making built around fit, particularly the rise — they offer more options there than most makers, and rise is what decides whether a trouser is genuinely comfortable through a working day.
How should the waist fit?
Snugly enough that the trouser stays up without the belt doing the work. If you are pulling the belt tight to hold them, the waist wants taking in, which is a straightforward alteration.
Cuffed or plain?
Cuffs suit a fuller leg and a higher rise and add weight that helps the trouser hang. Plain is cleaner and slightly more formal. We will show you both before you decide.
Can you alter the waist?
Yes, and it is worth doing rather than living with a belt pulled tight. It is a straightforward alteration on a well-made trouser.
