British Officer Bedford Cord Breeches (Improved 2017 run)

The breeches have a button fly and belt loops. They include two flapped back pockets. The lower legs have fabric facings and three buttons at the bottom. The breeches also have two front slash pockets.

Sizing is inconsistent between breeches, with some finding their normal size too large. Some breeches ordered to a specific waist size measure larger than expected. However, other breeches are found to be spot-on for the ordered size. It is advisable to check measurements before ordering.

The fit around the calves is generally described as slightly tight. Some breeches fit up to 15-inch calves, but just barely. This tightness can be remedied by moving the buttons on the lower leg by an inch or so. The three buttons at the bottom allow for setting the laces and still removing the breeches without much trouble.

The breeches are described as well-made and of high quality. The material is excellent, and the workmanship and details are very good. However, some breeches have thread ends hanging off, indicating a lack of attention to detail. Some breeches also arrived with a missing lining around the waistband.

Some breeches have thread ends that need trimming, indicating a lack of attention to detail. The lower leg laces supplied can be difficult to thread through some metal eyelets, leading some to replace them with thinner cord. A few buttons at the fly may need to be secured or re-sewn.
