Classic Merchant and Mills pattern

I wanted to try the Pegs Trouser after having alot of success with the Eve Trousers, which are a similar silhouette with a fitted waist and tapered leg, but the Pegs are a more detailed pattern with a zip fly, pleats at the front, darts at the back and lovely angled pockets. This is the first trouser pattern I have tried with a zip fly closure and I have to say that the instructions are 10/10 really very clear and I had no trouble at all constructing the fly and getting a nice finish. The angled pockets are deceptively tricky, this is user error but I managed to do them wrong twice in a row! Correctly constructed, they are really smart and worth the effort. Fit wise these trousers are very high waisted. This is worth noting on the finished garment measurements as I ended up making a pair slightly too large on the waist as I had not clocked just how high they sit and I am narrower at the high waist that mid waist. That said, the pattern was very easy to adjust. I took in the side and back seams but changes could also be made in the darts and pleats. The shape of the leg is quite unsual - there is quite a bit of fullness in the tummy to thigh area. I think this is the design intention as that fullness is visable in the sample photos, particularly the denim version. I'm not too sure how I feel about this on me, however. I'll see how I feel with a few wears but that fullness feels a bit odd, I'm not quite sure how else to explain that! I wonder if these perhaps suit a taller person with a longer leg that me. I did need to take 4cm out of the leg length. I was hoping this pattern would be a wardrobe staple that I could make in a couple of colours. I'm not convinced that the pattern is going to be that for me, but I'm interested to wear these and see how they feel on the day to day. I'm pleased I tried these and I very much appreciate the lovely details in this pattern which is classic Merchant and Mills.
