    You have the fishtail trews, usually worn with braces. You have high waisted trews, much like the high waist on a traditional kilt and you have tartan trousers that are like regular suit trousers Then you have the old fashioned trews which are somewhat like stockings but made of a much thicker material (as mentioned in post 18). Cheers
    I looked at your link, Mike. There are no trews on that site. They have high waisted trousers and even fishtail high waisted trousers, but no trews. even a search for trews on that site reveals nothing found. In fact trews are normally very close fitting, made from the same tartan wool as a kilt would be made from, to be worn at the natural waist, fishtailed for braces and have no pockets (nor flies!). I have never seen trews sold "off the peg" (so to speak). They need to be made to measure or bespoke.
