I placed an order for over a tons worth of gear, still don't know whether to confirm or abort.
If i have to think for more than 30 seconds I know its not vital so, can do without. other times I think what the ell.

I like mine. I'm fairly close to the 6'6" type mentioned by Imagedude (not a eunuch last time I looked) so I went for the XL. The length is perfect for me and I haven't noticed any problems in the ballroom department. Perhaps I don't 'dance' as much as imagedude?
I think the quality is good for the price.

Mine arrived today, L = 36" waist for me.
I think they would be too snug to wear 400g woolpowers underneath but seem OK otherwise.
I'll add them to my review when I've given them a proper testing.

Sorry, my mistake. L + 36".
I'm so used to buying XL in most things I forgot I only ordered the L

mine have been delayed some variety of cock-up regarding credit cards, i don't know any further than that, i try to avoid electric money if i can, it always seems to end up stinging me otherwise. apparently the bloke on the phone at askari was incredibly helpful though according to mother, although he still couldn't give any definative answers regarding size
hopefully they'll arrive today or tomorrow

Way ha! me trousers have just landed 
Ok just tried them on and for me who is between a 36 -38 depending on the amount of Staffordshire oak cakes (thanks Bodge!!) I've eaten.
They fit ok with enough room for a pair of Ice breakers underneath. The leg however is designed for someone at least 3" longer in the leg than me (Im about a 30" inside leg), but a visit to good old mum, will I'm sure sort that particular problem out.
Hamish, who received my order, and went out of his way to post them down to me... :You_Rock_ I owe you one mate.
Ill put them through their paces, over the weekend, and let you know how they got on....

nice that was fast, glad it all worked out Damian.
how are folks finding the lining on the front? iv personally never worn stuff with a lining as i hate synthetic materials with a passion (yup one of those guys...) so im not too sure on the benefits on the lining, especially as its only on the front?

From what I can gather it sounds like the waist is true to size. XL for 38" L 36" M 34" and S 32". But what about the cut?
I tend to like a bit of room in trousers I'll be out and about in over maybe a few days. So what's the verdict guys? Are they comfortable or on the nutcracker side of comfortable?

again length is an issue. i would say they are a little tight around the back for me but then again thats where iv had some meat gouging surgery so i notice the tiniest bit of pressure which may not bother other folks. thats unless im wearing them the wrong way round
