Cordings or Nah?
Hi folks - I hope you are all well enjoying the slide into jacket weather (or at least, those of you in the northern hemisphere).
I am considering heading to the Cordings store to try on two pairs of trousers, as they are currently running a promotion so two pairs would be ~£300:
https://www.cordings.co.uk/serge-trousers.html and https://www.cordings.co.uk/grey-classic-flannel-trousers.html
I am interested in these because I'd like to have some heavier weight trousers moving into the colder months, and whilst I work in the city, it's quite informal so the plan was to get serge/cavalry twill and flannels with turn ups, that I could wear with a jacket/wool jumper.
I have done a bit of a search on the MFA reddit and have come across a few people who suggest that the quality of Cordings' tailoring doesn't necessarily match the price, and that there are better options out there at the same price point - so before I make this investment, would anyone have any alternative recommendations (ideally from somewhere where I could try the trousers on before buying!)?
I've come across some very nice cavalry twill trousers at Natalino (https://natalino.co/products/single-pleat-trouser-navy-wool-cavalry-twill) and these jump out at me for having slightly nicer details and being made in Portugal (I'm not sure the Cordings ones say where they were made), however there is no promotion so two pairs of trousers would be ~£400 (and therefore a bit of a jump).
Thanks all!

Cut from 100% wool serge woven in the UK, these trousers showcase a cloth long prized for its durability and refined finish.
