Cycling specific trousers

[winjim]

My Union 34 clobber arrived to day. Trousers (30") are mahoosive, and I wonder if even the tightest popper setting will keep them from snagging on the chainring. Might be wearable with a belt. Shirt (M) is too big and is going back for a refund. May get a S if any in stock.

Bought the navy female trousers in a 12 and they're too small. Now, female sizing is always difficult as it varies from shop to shop but I'd say these were around Topshop sizing. Also really tight around the thigh which is a bit useless if your thighs are bigger from cycling. I'll order a bigger size and see how I get on. Also got a mens size on the way so will try that too. The trousers themselves look beautiful though.

Men's 32" regular just arrived and they fit perfectly. So I must be a man.

I took a chance and ordered some, I notice with the ladies trousers the size chart gives the waist measurement but the trousers sit top of your hips...so a tricky one to measure for.
I ordered the longer leg and they are still too short, though if I don't wear a belt and let the "crotch" hang half way down my leg as is the style in the hood, I find they are long enough.
Anyone sending back a Mens 30" long?

....and you don't get the little chain guard poppers on the female version.

I'm usually a 31/33 (w/l) in trousers, and the cut /style of the 32" longs left them baggy at the waist, whilst the 30" longs are bordering on being too short after washing. Anyone interested in buying a pair of navy 32" long (worn for a week & washed)?

Would £15 posted sound acceptable? If so, drop me a pm with your address & I'll post them on.

Someone at work just complemented me on my nice new trousers!

ETA: l then of course had to explain all the nifty cycling specific features...

my union 34's have arrived today. I'm generally in a 36 waist (albeit with a bit of spare room) in regular trousers but the 34 waist on these is plenty big enough for me. They look smart casual rather than proper formal smart but look really good and are tremendously comfortable to wear, I'm thinking of buying a few more pairs for day to day use. The subtle press stud cuff shortners are good too & don't leave you looking like you're wearing plus fours.
