In my house if anybody flatulates the approved response from all is "you'll have to buy those now sir - you've ripped them". In the case of an erucation, conversely, "keep shouting Madam, we'll find you" is the traditional riposte!

Similar, in the case of a touch of flatulence, the response is "Keep calling Captain, we`ll find you!" Or in the case of belching "Manners old chap or chapette, there's a porker in the room"....

Old revivalist mod that I am, i have one pair of cords, hipster cut with a slight flare, look the business with desert boots.

I normally wear tan combat trousers for fishing, but might well invest in some green cords.

I'm a huge fan of cords and own 2 pairs of brown ones. They have become de rigour fishing apparel, tucked into my Aigle Parcour wellies (and paired with a Tattersall shirt). Hell, even we can be traditional here at the tip of Africa :Cool:

How about a several months down the line review Mark?

Sorry, just noticed they are no loner available, but being a moleskin wearer for the past 30 plus years - daily for 25 of them I was simply interested how you had found the cords lasting compared to the moleskins. Quite fancied a change myself but was put off a little as when I used to sell them they seemed to go out of shape quite quickly compared to moleskins unless the customers had washing issues.
