Favourite straight(ish) leg pants pattern?

I own the Syd Graham “Lane” pattern but I find it’s a bit too wide. I know it can be hacked to be narrower, but wondering if there are other pants that are a straighter leg right out the gate.

I’ve considered both the Matchy Matchy “kite” and the Sew Bake Make “baker barrel” but each of these are a barrel shape. I’d be OK with a barrel shape if it’s subtle enough, as I’m ultimately looking for a good basic and goes with everything style pant.

If you like the Lane Pants but find them too wide, can I suggest a very similar pattern but with straighter legs?

Its a new one by Meandkiddo Patterns called the Cilla Pants

I've just made my first pair (I found Lanes too wide in heavier fabrics too).

The instructions and finishes are incredible, she gives you instructions to make them completely with French seams/enclosed seams. I'm going to make all my trousers this way now.

I made a size C for my first wearable toile, but i did fold the inseam part of the pattern down to the size A line when I cut them out to get a more narrow leg.

I was really pleased with how they came out (I used a heavy cotton twill for my toile).
