Yeah those are the 'Large elasticated pants'.

The waist on my 50's is about 21" accross when it's relaxed, so it stretches more than that, even when I tighten the drawstring as much as I can it's loose and slips down on me.
Finally some pants that will fit my 38" waist. No one makes them for us guys! lol
Will check out the stuff you are returning... was looking for photographs. I really like the zip shirt but not too aware of the cords....

The corduroy is a jacket, not pants.

The pieces I returned were these:

surchemise-4-poches.jpg

But in black wool twill


The corduroy blouson is this:

And I still have that. It's outside the return window but I don't think i'll wear it as much as I thought I might.

Totokaelo and Ssense and even Matches often get pants up to a 54 which might fit you.
The 'large elasticated pants' were referring to are these:

A 50 might work fine but there's also 52's which absolutely would.

Thank you so much.. the links are really helpful.
It's funny I have gone on the Matchesfashion.com site and when I choose prices for a UK shipping address in GBPs the 70% items show much less percentage discounts. If I ship out to the US or somewhere else the discount listed go back to 70%. I noticed this on some DBF trousers I was looking at.

Whoever picked up that great raincoat got a great deal. I think it might be my favourite thing I own.

I know these aren’t great pics but I figured I’d post since it’s a lot of Lemaire

AW18 corduroy blouson
AW18 spread collar shirt
AW16 water-repellent washed wool elasticated trousers

Was considering the cream corduroy blouson and brown cord jacket.

Looke comfy

What color are those boots? Wish Geller would come out with some new brown suede side zips.

@gettoasty yeah the cream blouson looked good too. I probably would have gone for that instead of black if the black one wasn't such a ridiculously cheap price when I bought.

The boots are 'tan'. These ones are from that first run of the current side zips he did with CP.
I think you might have to wait for a while for any new ones though, last season was combat style chelseas and this season is track runners.
