Where are you looking?
Exactly my thoughts when I took a look. Still ordered a pair despite grumbling.
Edit: Now ordered another pair - in navy cos the first was royal blue. Cycling is so expensive

It's a bit more complicated than that...
An M&S suit. My current suits (I rotate three, with three pairs of trousers each) have been going strong for several years. I have a half-hour commute.

I'd be interested to hear how people who ordered the Union 34 stuff found the sizing? The cm/inches size chart doesn't match...or is that just me?
Did you order going by cm or inches and find it generous or slightly smaller? Ta .

I wrote a review on the male trousers - apparently Rutland didn't like it! Trousers fit me perfectly and have hardly taken them off. And now that the weather has turned nice and warm.
However I bought a shirt in Large based on their size chart and found it slightly too tight and short. Then again, I think I have a long body.
After the first pair of trousers I bought another 2 pairs - they really are that good. Similar Tech in a big brand would be near on £80+ and Rapha £200!

Exceedingly generous. Order one size down.

I just don't agree with this at all.
My first pair of the trousers in 34" long fitted me perfectly and after a bit of wear, stretched a bit and I now use a belt. The second pair that I opened the other day whilst 1st pair in the wash fitted me perfectly again but no need for a belt straight off.
As i said - the shirt was VERY snug fitting so it would be UP one size for that for me.

I have no experience of the shirts, but I've had two pairs of the trousers, ordered on different dates, and both are one size bigger in the waist than the sizing claims.

I'm not calling you a liar, we obviously have different opinions of the sizing. I have been size 34 since about 22 and was 32 until then well over 10 years ago. And all my other jeans, trousers and shorts that fit are 34.
Then again I generally wear a belt with trousers and jeans anyway..
I recommend going for your actual size in the trousers and perhaps one up in upper body gear.

I have no choice but to wear a belt with the first pair :-)

Yeah, black would be ideal, but the navy blue is very dark, so I'll forgive them.

The sizing is hit and miss.
I'm between sizes in most trousers, 33", so bought two pairs of 34". One fits reasonably snug while the other pair is a good half-size bigger which suggests they are small to true fitting on my purchase.
