I'm not sure Style and Beauty is the right place for this but still! Where can I buy wide legged joggers for my DH? All the ones he's tried have been like leggings, much too narrow from above the knee down. Any suggestions, please? Oh, yes. They must also be all cotton.

M&S have straight leg pure cotton joggers and I’m sure cotton traders probably do too.

Thanks, blossoming. I've tried both of those to no avail. Even straight leg joggers are too narrow at the ankle. Not that he's fussy or anything.....grin

Don't suppose these are any good?

I’ve bought several pairs of these in Matalan. They are only 80% cotton but do appear to be very comfortable and wash well.

sealiff - ooh, thank you. I will show them to Mr Not. They look nice and loose, don't they?

Grannynannywanny - thank you. Unfortunately it's just gotta be 100% natural fibre.

MerylStreep - for some reason I did not think of the sports shops. I will have a look at those. Thank you.

Cotton Traders have them. www.cottontraders.com/search/?q=joggers

Thanks, SpringyChicken. Unfortunately the Cotton Traders ones that say 'cotton joggers' are only cotton rich when you read the product details. This seems to happen a lot with both men's and women's clothes. I guess most people don't mind that or see it as unimportant but DH seems to have sensitive skin, any fabric not made of natural fibres brings him out in a rash.

The black and navy joggers here are 100% cotton, NotTooOld.

I tried those, SpringyChicken, but they are narrower than they look in the picture and were like leggings on Mr Not. But thanks anyway!
