I am 6'1' and lean I wear a 32x34 and these pants fit great, length is great they aren't baggy but they also do not suction to my legs like some slim fit pants would. I wouldn't call these cords, there really aren't any visible cords in the pant they look just like a regular pair of chinos. The only beef I have with these is that the color is slightly different than what is pictured - rather than a nice bright light blue color the pants look almost faded, like a pastel blue, they still look nice just not exactly what I thought they would be.
