thoughts on the 4.5W cord FA pants? anyone grab a pair?

I have a pair from a season or two back, don’t get much wear and I’m currently deciding whether or not to keep them.

 

[Rookoobay]

honestly think I hate them and decided they just aren't for me no matter the deal (the only reason I was re-considering)

I like the idea far more than the reality- the pockets create a silhouette that just doesn’t seem to work for me.

idk the simple idea of FA pants that are not made off olive riptstop is too much for my little brain
im a simple man

I have FA pants in olive heavyweight ripstop and khaki corduroy and like them both.

I mean, I don’t hate them but I’ve found that I struggle to pair them with anything other than very plain tops. Plus, once I’m done putting together an outfit with the FAs, I look in the mirror and feel a little underwhelmed and when you’re wearing £400 trousers, you probably shouldn’t feel underwhelmed.

I recently got a pair of them in a camo colorway so probably a bit different, but I couldn’t imagine wearing anything but a plain top with them in order to let the pants be the main point of the fit

I think the front pocket placement requires a longer jacket to hit right at the top. a shorter cropped jacket makes it look like im stretched out.

I think this combo is fine, the FAs in ripstop are less in your face than the cord. I think my issue is more with the fabric of mine, the large wale, combined with the sand colour of the cord makes them feel a bit frumpy. I just get a turdy-90s-music-festival-clothes vibe from them (in a bad way). The more I talk about them, the more I put myself off them!

Hey folks. I need some help with Bedford sizing. I remember buying a medium in cotton herringbone back in 2020, and it felt too big on me. I measured a jacket that fits me pretty well and got the following measurements:

shoulders
50.5 cm 19.88"

length
75 cm 29.52"

sleeve (outer measurement)
58.5 cm 23.03"

pit to pit
54 cm 21.26"

I'm getting conflicting choices between small and medium based on which stockists size chart I look at. I don't live in a place where I can try them on either, and the moleskin bedford that I'm looking at is final sale. Also, I'm 5'10" and 165lb.

I'm sorry, I know that you all probably get asked this all the time. Any advice is much appreciated!

5'10" 165 I wouldn't go for a small. Get the M.

5'10" 165 I wouldn't go for a small. Get the M.

That's what I'm leaning toward. I think I'll go for it. Thanks!
