Couldnt see a "fashion" sub forum.

Anyone know of any lightweight walking style trousers (for use in office as well) that
a] dont cost £60 plus
b] arent massively baggy lower leg area like craghopper/brasher trousers
c] are available in fat b4stard size. (38" waist not averse to some stretch built in)
d] are not tightened by using string like waist ties.

Rohan maybe but generally expensive and last pair I had I just dont like the cut, constantly feels like they're falling down, crotch too low.

If theyve got jeans style pockets even better.

Thanks all! thumbup

First thought as you mentioned the office and jeans style pockets was Lululemon ABC trousers. They fit all the criteria apart from price. You'll not get a new pair for £60 even on sale though. But their popularity means there are plenty of cheaper clones of them so worth searching about using those terms. Amazon have a brand (CRZ I think) that's pretty much a direct clone and cheaper. But even places like Gap and Uniqlo will often have something that could be suitable in their tech wear sections. Sportier brands like Nike might have something in their golf trousers although they could be a bit shiny for the office. All of these will be closer to the office rather than trail use but fine for long walks, wicking and touristy stuff.

Of the above I've tried Lululemon, Rohan, CRZ and BananaRepublic (traveller and rapid movement I think the line's are called) jeans and chinos. LLL were the best especially on wicking/comfort but none were bad.

Craghoppers were always my go-to back when I used such things.
