The vendor has listed them as 'Oxford Bags', but I might hesitate to use that description since, according to the listing, they are only 18 inches around the cuffs. Personally, I think they look wider.

Those aren't OB's, but they 'are' a nice pair of 30's pants - 'if' they fit you (can't remember when I was ever a 28" waist!!).

Worth getting to just use as a template for your tailor to make a few pairs up in different fabrics!

Well, chaps, I bought them! Going to wear with sporty jumper or aertex shirt.

Whilst I don't usually go for the 'girls in guys garb', I think it will be quite fun with these.

excellent. as the starter of the 'girls in guy's garb' thread i can tell you that i think ladies in vintage mannish trousers (and other accoutrements) look very cool.

I hope you will post some pics of the outfit when you put it all together.

Those are smashing. But please make sure to let us know if they're really only 18" around at the cuffs...

 

[Miss Sis]

Will do, chaps, both measure and hopefully get a pic - if they end up looking ok!

The trousers arrived today - very quick delivery - and they are great on! Very pleased and been raiding the wardrobes trying on lots of different shirts/jumpers etc with them. They have a wide waistband and very high back, which gives a really nice look and they are super comfortable.

They need a little laundering and I also need to drop the hems slightly so I will have to wait to take some pics. I am a bit surprised as I thought a 30" inside leg would be long enough for me at 5' 9", but they are so high waisted that must make a difference.

And for those wondering, they measure 9 1/2" flat across the turn up, so 19" all round. They don't look particularly wide on, just really well balanced.

Only 9 1/2"? That's amazing. They look much wider in the photo. I have a pair of 30's linen trousers with a 22" opening and they don't look that wide..but then I have a 34" inseam, which could quite possibly make a difference...

Can't wait to see a photo.
