All was well looking on that website……until I got to the Harlequin shorts. Seared my brain a bit and now can’t get rid of the image of Harlequin kitted out carpers prancing about

Yup me 2, they take all the abuse and you don't look like a fool with a fashionable fit which most if not all fishing brand trousers seem to have. 10-20 euro's, can't fault them.

I'd go with the Craghoppers. As mentioned plenty of size and fit options.

I know I'm not going to be very popular mentioning this but the Korda combats are actually very good. Seem like a really good fit for me and I'm a 36 so went with large. Nice soft material, loads of pockets and they dry incredibly quickly if they get wet.

I use own branded New Forest Trail Trousers, available in various leg lengths per waist size
I have a lot of their own branded stuff, used a lot by country workers, see the reviews.

I used to buy the German ‘moleskin’ green army trousers. Once these were replaced by the less comfortable Flecktarn ones I found a couple of outlets which still sold them.

Then about 5 years ago I started doing a lot of work on the house and ended buying a couple of pair of work pants. Hardwearing with reinforced knees, plenty of pockets and a pocket on the knees for knee pads for my knackered old knees - perfect. I got cheap thin ones from Site for autumn and thicker warmer ones from Herock for winter. De Walt shorts in summer.

I’m an odd leg size -31” to be perfect and all my ‘civvie’ jeans are 32” inch inside legs, tailored to 31” by my wife so they hang just right. Fishingwise though 32” with an inch spare is fine. Most of the time I wear them with high leg boots and tucked under (bloused) as per my army days to stop them getting wet and muddy.

I go fishing in cargo pants, handy with them having loads of pockets. In the summer, I have the ones that zip off at the knee to make shorts, in the winter I have thermal ones. I just get them from outdoor type shops, like Go Outdoors, Trespass, etc. Loads of different makes to suit any budget, Peter Storm for cheap ones, Brasher & Cragghoppers more expensive. Like you, I have a funny inside leg, 30" short. I always get fixed up from somewhere with a short leg, think Go Outdoors have a good range of leg sizes.
