Received very quickly, lovely quality, the extra wide band and strong fabric helps to hold everything in! I am considering buying the mole as its not a colour I have tried before. as with everyone else they are a bit long and hoping with a small heel I won't need to shorten them.

At last a lovely firm thicker fabric suitable for winter wear. The waist and hip area fitted perfectly with a pleasing wide waistband. Unfortunately due to the wide cut the area just below my hips bagged out a bit like jodhpurs. I realise wide-fitting trousers are in fashion at the moment but if these were a straight cut they would be more flattering. Also as with other reviewers they were way too long. Could the design team have another look and see if they can come up with another design in the same Ponte fabric please?

Beautiful trousers. The heavier fabric hangs perfectly and they are a streamlined, flattering fit at the top. Yes, they are long but with shoes on they are just rig (the shoes have a very slight wedge heel). As I don’t like trousers that sit between on the ankle, these are just right. The mole colour is elegant and versatile.

I really like these trousers! They are quite heavy weight so feel substantial, warm and smart - not at all like sportswear. However, they will definitely be just as comfy as sportswear! They are quite high rise which I find flattering, and there is quite some support around the tum area to smooth lumps and bumps. I will need to consider the right underwear for a smooth finish but I don't think that's different than any other pair of close fitting trousers. I love the Mole colour (even though it's not coded to my season of spring) - it's a lovely neutral that will coordinate well and is more interesting than grey or brown. Similar to other reviewers I found these trousers extremely long which is a shame as I'm not confident to shorten them myself as they're jersey. They have a very generous hem (approx 3 inches) so if you have very long legs, these will work! I am 5'7" and my legs aren't short or long for my height so I usually am OK with standard length trousers or sometimes needing longer length. Although the average inseam is stated as 81 cm for a medium, my medium pair were over 83 cm. Even with heeled boots these will still be too long so it's off to the tailor!

I love the mole colour, just gorgeous but, I wished I had read the earlier reviews as they are far too long for my 5ft 6 in frame.

Gorgeous colour, gorgeous quality but so long. I do resent having to pay for the trousers to be shortened. I appreciate that Kettlewell is a small business, but hopefully one day, you can offer regular and long lengths. These are definitely the latter.

I very much wanted to like these as I find the jersey trousers too flimsy. However they are much smaller around the waist and stomach than previous purchases of trousers and skirts in medium and there is hardly any flexibility in the waist band. The large would be much too large so I am returning them. They are also too long for my average leg length. I like the Ponte fabric and mole colour.

Lovely trousers, nice shape and very nice fabric that i think will hold its shape well. I am a size 8 and purchased a small which was a good fit. However, I'm 5.5... and even wearing heels... these are incredible long , dragging on the floor which ruins the shape. Great shame ... it's a lot of money to spend them to have to alter them so you can wear them .

These are a lovely pair of thick, Ponte trousers. I love the thick fabric. I ordered an L in Cassis. They are high waisted, which suits this short waisted customer, & they fit well (I am a 14). My only grumble is the length. I am 5’6”, so not short, but the length is incredibly long! Even with heels, they are way too long. Apart from that I really like them! I would definitely buy another pair (more winter colours please!)
