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).
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.
^ great stuff woof.
Thanks for the sizing info, very useful.
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.
Same. Thanks Woof.
What kind of tea are we talking?

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.

Just placed an order for the HebTroCo (strange name) super heavy weight cords in green...

Quick article on HebTroCo (I understand the name now...): https://theholbornmag.com/2016/08/31/hebtroco-we-head-to-trouser-town/
'kin ada..those Hebtroco's would cut my circulation off at the ankle...
I saw bearded wankers in the link and got all excited n all....
They look PANTS...I'll grant you that...
Does everyone on here have pipecleaners for pins?!?!?
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.
Indeed Sir...
I'm a flapperizer..
Lionels Supreme...
I have hobbit feet as well...which would make these extremely arduous to get over...
I wish you every happiness with them meanwhile..
