Hello, vjpedo-ga!
After searching dozens of catalogs and online stores, I have found
only a few sources for embroidered men's trousers. The selections
appear to change with the seasons so you might be limited by size,
design and material.
Orvis offers the best year-round selection of men's embroidered
trousers, but again, the designs and material change with the season.
The pants you described, with pheasants and ducks, are generally made
of corduroy and sizes are extremely limited right now. I did speak to
a customer service representative and he assured me that a new
shipment of this style will come in during the next year. Right now,
the largest available selection of embroidered corduroys have labrador
retrievers or holiday themes. The company also has some cotton
trousers online with embroidered flags.
Ralph Lauren currently offers two styles of embroidered trousers -
one with the Polo player design and another with a "game bird."
Hopefully, they will continue to provide newer designs.
Another source with a variety of patterns is Murray's Toggery Shop,
which carries cotton trousers with dogs, ducks, whales, etc.
I have listed the links of the stores that I was able to find below.
I want to stress again that each of these sources will likely change
patterns and materials with each season, so if you don't find a style
you like, continue to check the new catalogs as they come out.
Just for fun, I also included a link to some used, vintage Izod
embroidered trousers that are currently listed on eBay!!

VINTAGE CLOTHING (in case you have any interest!)
****************
I found the following pairs of 1980's Izod embroidered trousers at smokydiva.com

If you like these pants, you might want to keep checking on the home
page and click on the link for men's seperates to see new arrivals:

One other point - since embroidered pants are becoming so popular,
and women are luckier to have a far greater selection than men, it is
not uncommon to find men wearing women's pants!! If you can find a
pair that fits and looks unisex, you might want to give it a try!
If you don't believe me, read the following article (and see the
picture on the bottom):
"Salmon-Colored, Swordfish-Embroidered Chinos Replace Capri Pants as
Top Fashion Trend," by Dana Craig.

I hope these sites are helpful and you can find the size and style of
trousers that you like!
