Workaday

[sexonfabric]

Picked up a couple of workaday hoodies, grey and navy. Both fit too small...the whole line seems to fit very small. Friend took the grey off me so not a total loss.

Anyways I'm going to return the navy unless anyone wants it...size large (chest 40"). Tried one a couple of times but it's brand new, still have tags etc...

Bought for £155. Will do £100 shipped to the UK guys...elsewhere contact for shipping cost.

For those who've got the cords, how thick are they?

JOA, what did you get the hem on your fatigues tapered too? i kinda like how big mine are compared to other pants but it's something i'd consider. now hemming, i'm not sure. i like the cuff.

8.5" and I couldn't be happier with them now.

Finally got my cords from the Bureau. Fit and finish is pretty great, just dropped them off for a hem.

 

[ToruOkada]

how heavy is the material used on the cords?

 

[dixonmanor]

^ I'd say medium weight. They are substantial, but not too intense. Pretty perfect.

I'll second the Workaday cords thickness feedback: not too thin, not too thick, but just right.

I will also add myself to the sad list of people who ordered them (in size 32 in my case) only to discover that they were too small, and had to send them back. For me, the thighs were fine (I have stick legs) but the waist was way too tight, impossible to even button the top button. I am a 32, but I sometimes size down to a 31 waist. Not with these - they are a very small 32, maybe even a small 31.

Has anyone had any luck sizing up? This is what I'd like to do, but I have never ordered any pants labelled size 34 waist. I am hoping that if the size 32 is that small on me, that maybe with a belt the size 34 would work.

Otherwise, they were great, very well made, nice cut, etc. I was sad to see them sent back. Hope everyne who got them to fit is enjoying them.

I sized up to 36 from my normal 34, but found I didn't like how either looked.

I love the pants, but it turned out to be all for not.

I'm a true 35- I typically wear a 34 in most denim and designer brands. I've got the workaday fatigue pant in M (34) and the cords in 36. They seem to fit about the same around the waist, the cords maybe half an inch larger. The top blocks on both are quite snug. The major difference is the rise, which is lower on the cords.

All in all, these are two pair of pants that I've been wearing constantly since I got 'em.

I usually have to size down on EG shorts and pants to get the fit I want in the legs. This usually requires suffering a bit until the waist stretches out.

I just got my cords in for the second time...sized up to 34 and they are perfect for me. Very happy I snagged them.

 

[Grainer]

OK, the official count is 1 size up failure, 2 size up successes, and one recommendation to size down. So, it looks like the 'size up's have it, democracy at work. As soon as I can get another pair, I'll try the 34. Thanks for the feedback from everyone.

 

[Drinkwaters]

There have been many requests for the cords and I have been told by EG that there will be another production in the near future. I have advised those that have called that I will post when this is close to being complete and start taking pre-orders. This will be on a final sale basis but we take exchanges for size only. Please do not pm me yet. Stay tuned for this post. Thanks!

Awesome news Gary. Looking to pick up these up in burgundy too.
