Here for a sizing question. Are Tricker's generally the same in sizing compared to C&J? Looking at the Tricker's 2161 last and wondering if I should go -1 from my US size.
Yeah, they’re pretty comparable. I’d go down 1 us to uk size.
Classic vintage look going on there. Apparently corduroy is coming back in fashion. My first pair would be more ‘slim’ (NOT skinny) or ‘tailored’ fitting and probably navy. I would have to ease my way in with a pair of moleskin first. We’ll see. (I recently acquired a pair of chinos that honestly have a hybrid ‘moleskin/chino’ feel to them. Perfect for me.)Grasmere in brown zug , my favourites . Bit of cord and old Harris too . View attachment 1318862 View attachment 1318863

Second to Matalan. I like the slim fit cords fromThank you sir .
I stopped wearing jeans last year , just felt they didn’t suit me anymore in my mid fifties.
I own four pairs of M&S regular 100% cotton cords in browns / grey that I got bnwt off eBay . Roomy and warm in autumn / winter and versatile . This time of year I wear with a woollen submariner jumper in navy or grey.
I had never wore chinos but bought a couple of pairs at Matalan and tbh they are great . I use them for dog walking and general outside wear . £20 and quality wise better than any M&S pairs I looked at . Roomy cut too which is great for me , I am not a fan off or suit a slim cut trouser .
I have always had a “thing “ for tweed / woollen overcoats !
I don’t mean to come across as ‘snobby,’ but I don’t do cheap experiments. My purchases have to meet my requirements of being ethically made (no cheap Asian slave labour garbage; preferably made in Britain), quality (made from high quality materials that will last) and look good (fit correctly). This is one of the reasons why I am so bitterly disappointed with Hugo Boss (gang of lying crooks!)Second to Matalan. I like the slim fit cords from
their. If @mrjamescost was liking to try a style without spending much to experiment I’d give em a whirl. Think they only do green and grey. Not going to last a lifetime but good fit and value (relative to my body shape anywho!).
