British Officer Bedford cord breeches
(2020-10-10)
These are excellent.Very well made and very smart. Wore them out riding today; greatly admired by friends who wanted to know where I got them.In view of other comments about sizing I checked with Wajed who gave prompt measuring instructions .Ordered my usual 34 inch waist and 34 long inside leg. I am a 16 inch calf and they fit perfectly. Usual speedy, trouble -free delivery.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
Quite Satisfied But Extensive Tailoring Needed

These breeches were received about 1 week after ordering, and the material is excellent. There were, however, thread ends hanging off these breeches everywhere. Not a big deal, but this indicates a lack of attention to detail. Also, my waist measures 39†so I ordered a size 40, but the waist of these breeches actually measures 42â€, so I needed to have them tailored. If you are between sizes, I would highly recommend that you go down to the next nearest size, rather than up. Also, the calves are wide enough to comfortably accept the legs of a large hippopotamus! I understand that with the preponderance of morbidly obese people in our society, fat legs are much more of a problem than they ever were in the past, and that these breeches calves’ can be tightened up. I also know that if there’s no extra cloth and they’re too tight, you can’t fix them, but I have very muscular legs and I still needed to get between 2 and 3 inches removed from each calf. So, if you have very fat legs, then these are the breeches for you!
That said, I hope my review doesn’t sound too negative since the material is very nice, I like the overall cut as it’s not too pegged (as many of the non-stretch breeches are these days), overall construction seems very good, and colour is excellent. It is just frustrating if you’re big and muscular but not fat, since Jerry’s larger sizes seem to be cut for the morbidly obese, not just those who are active. I have one of his khaki drill bush jackets which I love, but that I had to have about 7†tailored out of the waist. It could still use another 4†or so but because of the cut, that’s all that the waist could be reduced without it affecting the cut of the whole thing. Incidentally, my chest-waist drop is 6†so it’s not extreme like some body builders would have. Overall though, WPG stuff is excellent, just make sure you have a good tailor if you like things to fit properly!
