I know of about one guy that wears flat front pants in my area. Definitely the exception. The front western style pockets just look goofy.
I can't stand the look of pleats. All of my referee pants are flat front.

Well Cam Newton thought his pants looked good too, so there you go.

Flat front slacks are cool. I wish my waist size was a few inches smaller than it is so I could wear them.

Not a style consideration. Basketball pants at most levels are pleated, beltless pants. Not really sure why I'd want to be different than the pack.

Not very many years/seasons ago, in my area, pleated slacks were not acceptable. Now, the common statement is that pleated slacks are the preferred wear. It all is cyclical, as are most fashion trends/norms.

Pleats look better on dudes like me that have a bit of a gut, too.
