but therein lies the problem: they are comfortable because they give, ergo they get baggy in places eg arse knees you don't want baggy

am v tempted by the gap and M&S ones though

of course if you get the wretched boden skinny cords they give everywhere apart from around the waist because of the stupid hotchpotch cotton lining

The Uniqlo cords don't go baggy in the knee. They stay nice and tight. I love mine too.

Gap look nice - are they a very low rise?

has anyone tried the M&S ones that are unfortunately called jeggings?

they look quite nice except in the sofa colours but I'm suspicious about bagginess and am nowhere near a uniqlo

I have the Next skinny cords and am really pleased with them - thay have not gone baggy at the knees - only problem with cords is they seem to pick ups so much fluff !
