Re: Five Pocket Cords
I've just taken delivery of a pair of the Kamakura 5-pockets, and though I've only tried them on for size so far, my first impressions are that they're excellent — at least as good as the old LVC 519s. The Bedford cloth is heavyweight and feels like it'll last, and the cut is spot on, with perhaps the best rise I've seen off the peg and a lovely taper. I would post pics, but let's not get started on that again!…

Argh, totally forgot All Blues Co have stock in Leeds – had a delay to my train the other week and could have gone check them out.
Gotta say they looked good in the look book, shame LVC messed with the original block and updated to a lower rise.

Re: Five Pocket Cords
Yeah, I got these from All Blues. I've had good experiences buying direct from the Kamakura website too though. They're rapidly becoming one of my favourite makers.

Re: Five Pocket Cords
What's the rise like on them? I'm 6'3, so high rise often comes out mid rise for me!

Re: Five Pocket Cords
Thanks, SB. Too short for me....but they do look good. TBH, that's the issue with most Kamakura stuff for me!
