Re: Any five pocket cord's suggestions.

My Levi's are anything but baggy, not as badly cut as the bedfords which were way too tight on the upper leg and boxy around the trunk. The LVC are very much a star dared 5 pocket cut with a fine rise imo. Having only seen the Oralia in shops and not owning they seemed a more standard cord weight, probably 16 wale (just a guess )

^ what T said,
baggy is not how I would describe the recent sta-prest 519 (peanut/ink black/moss green versions).

Re: Any five pocket cord's suggestions.

Also looking for a good 5-pocket cord. I'm interested in the HebTroCo. Orslow have a good reputation but they're hard to find.

For what it's worth, L. L. Bean and Patagonia also each have one.

Excellent review Woof, glad they worked out for you. I fancy a pair of their moleskins.

They look great Woof, and that's interesting about the sizing too - any updates on shrinkage (so to speak) will be appreciated. Either way, I was thinking of taking the plunge, will probably do so now.

Lee do a Bedford 5P the 'Brooklyn'

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MENS-LEE-BROOKLYN-FINE-STRETCH-STRAIGHT-LEG-BEDFORD-CORD-L452GO65-STONE-/391451126820

Acceptable but not ideal rise, inch below navel on me which ideally I'd like a half inch higher, but 'hey'..

They look good Woof - and they don't look 'loose'.
Did you take them up?

Anyone know of any cords that come with free coffee beans? Some that will work well with a stove top espresso machine.

Re: Any five pocket cord's suggestions.

The upper leg is sized generously (13" thighs and 9.5" knee on a 34" waist), but you're right that they're pretty narrow at the bottom.
