Anyone ride in baggy knickers? If so, brands you like?

Fresh pictures just for you!

Hope that helps some!

No-No, Thanks so much, that was so nice of you!! Personalized pictures are a lot more helpful than the catalog pictures on websites. I really appreciate your trouble.

I like those shorts a lot, and have been looking for some but so far have just seen them in the black. I'm sure I'll find them though, I believe that's the oxford color.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the pics, and I like the nice deep pockets as well.

Didn't mean to take over the thread! Glad the pictures were helpful. I know I never find the catalog pictures particularly useful.

In what could be the fastest shipping ever, my Zoic All Night Long shorts arrived today.


I would say these sit about an inch lower than the La Vida's.


They're a little snug, but if I can work off some of my, uh, curves, they'll sit a little better. They don't pucker in the back when I sit, and I think the mediums would.

I should also point out I'm only 5'-1", so the length will be different for some of you. The material is slightly heavier and rougher than on the knickers, but very stretchy. I'm totally wearing these as normal shorts all summer!

I ordered the Sugoi Greta capris and my initial thoughts are they are roomy through the thigh but runs true to size in the waist and hip, which means it lays well without being too constricting. I was pleasantly surprised that the capri length fell closer to the mid-calf rather than at the knee. (I'm 5'6") It has 4-way stretch and is dressy enough to wear anywhere.

So for the ladies that have heavier legs, I think you will like this cut.

NoNo, thanks for modeling your new threads. It's helpful to read your reviews.

I am petite (5'3") with a fairly small waist but wide hips.

I have tried the Portland Cyclery Messenger pants, which are really nice. But they did not fit me correctly. The rise was just too short to be comfortable and surprisingly the articulated knees hit me above my knee. They did fit snugly (but not too tightly) over the hips.

What has worked really well for me are the Terry Scooter Capris, one size smaller than normal. These just seem to fit me comfortably and are not too loose nor too tight. And the length is just right.

I'm looking into either Zoic or Chrome knicks. Tough to find a pair that is cheap for sure. I may just buy some dickies and make them cut-offs.
