Hi - Yeah those look pretty nice and a decent price
They have had odd policy of not stocking everything on line in the stores though I've found
I went into the central London office to try on their shawl cardigan and they told me I'd have to buy it - get it in the shop - then get a refund if I didn't like it
Which doesn't seem that helpful
Good field research Woof. Always nice to have another possible khaki option. Too bad I can count myself out, as the smallest waist size is 32.
This promotion might be enough for me to take the plunge. How do you find them size wise?
I have several pairs of Uniqlo chinos and take a 36" in those but I'm sure there is an element of vanity sizing.
I am awaiting delivery of a pair of the very same, on Woof's recommendation, so I will give my verdict in due course.
Now if only they did more colours, I might give them a try
Yeah Id love a paler pair although they do look good..I might go and try some on tomorrow
I have had classics and Woof is right, they have a Rhino Ass .
Have just received my second pair. They are excellent.
I attended a science lecture yesterday. There was a quote by Dr. Tyson, "we're not the only world to think about worlds unknown." I wondered if some life form billions of light years away was enjoying his khakis just as much as I was, and I wondered what those khakis might look like. Just jumbles of stardust here for but a fraction of time, but here we are together in our fragile little worlds, comfortable in our trousers and looking forward to our post-speech stimulants. Exiting, I looked up at the night sky, gave a nod and a wink and moved on to my destiny without rhino ass.
^ ha ha.....beam me up Scotty!
Seriously tempted to get the Field Khaki ones come summer? Even though I'm trying to find of navy chinos really...
Wow! This is exciting. Thank you, Woof, for posting. I just bought a pair of Koratron's off Ebay and then see these- wow. Will check for an Orvis in NYC...

Definitely go with 1.5" cuffs, Colin.
I like to go by the 5th button placket rule for where the waist should ideally sit on a Makers; those aren't bad looking though.
Agreed, Oliver. 'Not bad' is my analysis. Again, worth stating that I am tall.
Shirt is Fitzgerald's chmbray, fwiw.
Not bad for some- but, perfect to my eyes. Thank you for posting!
Have put them in the wash to see how much they shrink. I think the rise is probably about 12" maybe a shade under. Will update shortly.
Anyone get these in a 32 waist?
Update: post-wash measurement comes in at a Worried Man-worrying 11.5" rise.
Also the pockets 'flair' a little bit which is vaguely annoying.
Still looking for a pair ~13"-13.5 rise but I shall wear these whilst I search.
