The pants in 42 fit perfectly. The waistband is really wide and firm (very thick). Great quality. The corduroy is very fine and the fabric quite thin. The color of the waistband is not as orange as in the picture, rather ocher, but still great. I read in some reviews that the pants are quite short, but I can`t confirm that. I`m not exactly tall at 1.68m, but my legs are quite long. You can also play around with the length thanks to the wide waistband. I`m super happy with these trousers and they`re sure to become one of my new favorites.
