Tapers, they're not slim in the styleforum sense, but slimmer than usual.

So, I ended up buying both the moleskins and the needle cords from Cordings. I love both pants, except the fly (of both pants) which is buttoned and rather difficult to handle. Between each hole there is a seam which makes it tricky to button. Although one get used to it, the fly will never be as convenient as a zip fly or the jeans-style button fly, which you can simply and roughly rip up. I also ordered identical needle cords (but in another color) to a friend, but strangely, his pants have a zip fly.

The cut of the pants (the moleskins and needle cords are almost identical) is not so extraordinary as I would expect. They are rather "normal" in rise and leg width. I was hoping for a slightly more narrow leg (ankle width is indeed about 8" as someone posted above, but my ideal is 7.5"), and I was expecting (but not wanting!) an even higher waist. All things considered though, the pants are really great with a flattering cut and nice cotton. Looking forward to match them with Polo cashmere cable sweaters, C&J brogues and my new Aquascutum duffle! happy.gif

Has anyone purchased the crewneck cableknit jumpers from Cordings? Curious about how they run, I am concerned they may be cut blousy but havent seen any measurements on-line

I've got one and they're fairly baggy but not overtly so. Order your true size and you won't be swimming in it.

I have a pair of Cordings' corduroy trousers in bright pink and another in bottle green. I have no serious complaint about them, whereas the seat and thighs of those corduroys offered by House of Bruar and Pakeman Cato & Carter is not for slim figures. My new royal blue New & Lingwood moleskin trousers arouse ambivalence, and in any case, it was a dreadful mistake to wash them with a new pair of Purdey cordoroys in honey colour because the latter are now tinted rather greenish. The Purdey trouser cut is excellent.
