I suspect other North African — Algeria, Tunisia, ... — ones are similar. I discovered the style in a shop in Rue Caplat in Paris, and now have bought others from "Fez" at 71 Golborne Road in London. They're comfortable for the obvious reason: they don't press on bits men would rather not have pressed on. They're practical because they have lovely deep pockets that money and keys don't fall out of, and because they don't develop lots of horizontal wrinkles like normal trousers, so they stay smart. They're elegant because of the long flowing vertical lines. They're cheap because of the difference in money values. And they're often made of good-quality fabric, perhaps dense cotton though maybe with a looser weave around the parts that, let's say, like being kept cool. Some pairs are beautifully tailored, with pleats carefully placed to add volume and shape. The Moroccan name for the style is "qandrissi" or "kandrissi", and the generic Arabic word for any low-crotch trouser is (I believe) "sirwal" or سِرْوَال . In French, this becomes "le sarouel", which is relevant because there are quite a few French Websites selling them. Some are pretty shapeless compared to the Moroccan ones I've seen, though. Finding pictures on the Web is difficult without being able to read Arabic, but there's a pair at "Al Moultazimoun", http://www.almoultazimoun.com/213-sarouel-large.html which are fairly typical, though they don't look ironed. Much smarter are the homemade pair shown by "La Bobine" at "Les deux sarouels de Meelili", http://labobine.over-blog.com/article-13351231.html . (There's a tutorial on how to make those at http://labobine.canalblog.com/archives/2006/07/21/2325412.html .) They're similar to the Moroccan, and indeed, I've had a pair like that made for me by a tailor in Tangier.
