I think I might write and ask them.....

I like them too jings - it's the name that I don't understand. The leg shape looks no different to a tapered leg trouser as far as I can see, so what's with the peg leg moniker? confused

I like 'em. Might get some. Good on a bike. Trouser bottoms won't catch on pedals. And I look a bit less dumpy in slim leg trousers.

They look very 80s to me and most sizes are sold out!!
Maybe they hang themselves out to dry?

I didn't realise that Tencel came from sustainable Eucalyptus trees

Do they come with their own pet Koala?

I was looking for some soft Tencel trousers in M&S yesterday - thank goodness I didn't notice these!

Peg legs are definitely OUT - for obvious reasons.

Alea yes, I was looking for the extra leg too grin

Yup, it's the cut off pirate look, short so they could scrub the decks and not get their peg leg twisted up in the material ( or something.)
In that case I'm definitely not buying any - I might be expected to start scrubbing the floor shock

Oh yes, those accidental pressings! grin

I was going to say Alex Brooker and Adam Hills but thought it may be in poor taste. Then my finger accidentally pressed post blush

That's my summer look sorted then.

These trousers are meant to be worn with: stripey tops, gold hoop ear rings and a patch over one eye, matey.

Are they for pirates perhaps wink ⚓️

Clearly like "Jake the Peg" they come with "an extra leg"!

What is the difference between these peg leg trousers and tapered leg trousers? From the pictures, it's very difficult to tell. confused

Indinana Sat 23-Apr-16 13:46:14

Wide leg, slim leg, tapered leg, boot leg. I get all of those. But peg leg trousers???? For heaven's sake, M&S what on earth are you on about now?
