Ready-to-wear corduroy trousers

[Manself]

Pakeman's trousers are generally higher rise than is now normal. I like their moleskins.

Ah, good news!. Thank you.

Does anyone know where one could find a rtw. heavy corduroy Jacket of a weight similar to those seen on Stephen Fry and Robert Winston? I am considering a casual baggy cut, and see no need to go bespoke for this, unless this quality of cord. is unavailable rtw?....thanks..

Ralph Lauren carries such a jacket. Thick and soft. Warning: the armholes are cut very low so it may not be very comfortable for some. The store on New Bond Street does MTM, so this could be a good option.

Dear Rowly,

also check Cordings

cheers, david

Hectorm and David, thank you both. I am a fan of Cordings for tweed jackets and cords, but don't ever remember seeing cord. jackets. I will contact them. I have a feeling I will find what I'm looking for somewhere around Jermyn street. Of course, I will follow up on RLn. also. Thanks again, Rowly.

Regarding Pakeman cords, I find they are not "vanity sized". For example, I take a 34 in waist in levi's jeans, but my waist measures 36. I therefore take a 36 in the Pakeman cords.

Are you after a particular weight of cord? To be honest Bookster might be your best bet for English made RTW. Corduroy can be bought by the metre from Brisbane Moss as well.

The waistband treatment is certainly different on several of the Pakeman models (belt loops).

Yes.. i do but Cordings (brace buttons, button fly) but not Pakeman for the reason that the pattern isnt the same unfortunately..
However I MUST recommend Bookster for Tweeds.. I always buy cords there nowadays as they have button fly, french bearer, brace buttons.. and.. and a fishtail high rise back.. So pleasing!!!
