Loose cuts aren't a sizing mistake Rafa trust me, just about every vintage cut is loose. I meant from an age point of view tastes change, I thought exactly as you did when I was your age, but it does change whether you think it will or not

Yep, they're snug on the waist, perfect fit. I like them because I feel like I'm wearing soft velour curtains
I'm just at work, not trying to impress anyone. I feel like they'll look fine with a hen, though they will always be a full cut. But that and the amazingly soft fabric are what make them feel so darn good…. -
like always, i just wanted to share my opinion that's all! tbh. i don't like the fit, wouldn't want to wear it like that and not would go outside like that (no matter what age mega
)…if you like it, good cuz that all that matters!bring the "well, that's just your opinion man!" statements...already waiting!

I have absolutely zero problems with people critiquing what I wear. I'm not one to take things personally for the most part.

Lets have this conversation in 10 years Rafa

Full cuts are challenging for me to pull off due to slim legs. However, with a hem or cuff I think those will look good on you MCL.
-
The cuff I tried: it's too soft and full to work. It'll be a hem.
-
Critiquing fit is one thing. Jumping to one's own conclusions while overlooking certain facts (i.e. not hemmed) is another.
Those pants fit me similarly McLain. (But maybe a touch larger in the waist and not quite as long.) With that really nice back buckle, these pants can be worn slim or relaxed and will still fit well up top. You cannot cuff them, as you already figured out. But with a hem they will look nice.
One thing I would debate is whether the FW Longshoreman Overalls are a wide legged vintage 19th century pant. It can be worn that way. As an example, here are a pair of denim longshoremans worn relaxed.
FW makes a lot of pants with 19th century anti-fit. However, the Longshoremans are a straight leg. Although they can be worn relaxed and still fit well up top due to the buckle, my preferred fit on them is as follows.
I actually went back and picked up the w32 navy cord longshoremans and they fit me about like that. They are a bit snug in the waist but I like that. Since the cord is already a very relaxed, casual, loungy material, I think that a slim, straight fit goes a long ways toward counteracting that. Worn as above, these are a rather dressy pant.
-
Those look terrific!
I wouldn't trade these, and I appreciate the "package deal" with the Ranch Hand. I have no worries they will look better hemmed, and would still wear them even if they didn't because they feel better than any pants I've ever worn. That is a ver sumptuous, luxurious corduroy…
-
Unfortunately I don't have much early century clothing, pea coat is as good as I can do with those pants.
I don't know what other than a work shirt would complement the pants better and I rarely wear that with denim bottoms, so no regrets there either.
