The Welsh maestros have come up with the goods – their Uptown Stretch Chinos are just what we were looking for. Comfortable and normal enough to be worn off the bike and in a relaxed office, they’re constructed from super stretchy slim fitting cotton and have plenty of give in the saddle. Not only that, they come up high at the back so no drafts, and have a double-layered inside leg panel to help keep the hems out of your bike chain. Available in dark blue, as an added bonus they come in two leg lengths.

Price: £69, available from Howies.
