Chinos are either comfortable or smart, never both. The Bedford is cotton with enough stretch to sit down in, cut straight so it still looks like a proper trouser. You'll stop reaching for jeans.

• Stretch cotton — sit, drive, crouch in them
• Straight leg that keeps its shape
• Buttoned flap pockets on the back
• Wear them to work and forget you did

Light khaki shows a spill. Army green forgives everything.

Fit: Straight through the leg, regular through the seat.
