This is probably too late for Sancho, but for the record and on the subject of O'Connell's chinos and other trousers: ime it is best to order 1 or 2 inches bigger than typical high street sizes (which of course are 'vanity sizing'). Re. tapering: ime the fit varies, and some I own needed tapering and others were perfect. If you want a Take Ivy no cuff slim fit then all will need tapering - but even for a 40s/50s lover like me, some I have received were just too baggy on the thigh. Others were perfect. Those that needed tapering were an easy fix. (I've not tried their free alterations as I prefer to wash them then decide on whether I need a taper, then get my tailor to do the shortening and cuffs, and taper if necessary.)
I bought some flannels late last year and I actually went for a 38" and then had them taken in all over. The smaller sizes were too tight around the crotch, so I had to go up not one, but two sizes.
This is the problem at the moment - everything's in boys sizes whose balls haven't dropped.

I am putting a few quid away every month for scrotoplasty in my dotage.
Hitting your stride rmp, very smart mate.
Thanks all! Yeah, maybe not so much with the angelic, Woof....
Might not be new Sancho but it looks great.
/\ Thankfully the weight loss is going well! Might still have the cuffs hemmed. We'll see.
Looking good Chief, are the 501's new or vintage?
Cheers, Harry. These are new, made in Egypt.
I go up a size for a better rise in these and then have them taken in. I should be a 30" waist in them but the 31" does the trick.
Front rise is 11" and back rise is 15". Worth a look.
