I'm going to love love LOVE these cords when I nail down the right size, which I hope I can do before they sell out! My measurements exactly matched the size chart for the size I ordered, even though I have never worn anything in such a large size. Turned out that the waist is at least two inches too big and the rest of the pants are almost clownishly baggy. I'm 5'7" tall, 31" inseam usually, and the hems on these pants puddled on the floor. Not a big deal; they're easy to take up, but the rest of the fit problem doesn't lend itself to easy alterations.
Another reviewer mentioned that they're cut much fuller than most "boot cut" jean-style pants and I would agree. Everyone's different, of course, but I would suggest ordering a size or even two sizes down.
Thanks, LL Bean, for stocking this style. They're classic :)
Please bring back the old fit for the Saturday cords! The "Favorite Fit" is too baggy and I will have to return them. I have the old ones (slimmish fit, perfect boot cut legs, perfect length for me at 5'7" especially when I wear clogs) in brown, yellow, and bright green. I have worn and washed the brown ones many many times and they still look great. The green color I have is a bit bright and the yellow ones are fun, but I don't wear them as often as the brown. I would like them in the old fit in tan and dark green.
