The measurements are in the descriptions online.

Maybe I'll give the other fits a try but as [MENTION=14764]dpark[/MENTION] said, i might not over complicate the issue and just upgrade to the j crew. On a sale, those might be cheaper. I was really wondering what people thought the quality comparison was. Is bonobos better quality than j crew to warrant the extra cost?

The obvious thing to do is order the pants from J Crew and try the fit.

If you prefer the J Crew fit, definitely go with J Crew. Fit matters much more than the minimal quality difference here.

I find the quality of Bonobos to be similar, if not a little better, than J Crew. On the topic of price? Yeah, Bonobos costs more and I only buy stuff from the sale section when I can pair it with a promo code (most common is 20% off sale items).
If you do find a fit from bonobos that you LOVE then I'd say to give them a shot. If not just stick to J Crew as you already know it fits you and can be regularly had on sale.

Spier and Mackay chinos aren't bad. The pair I have are a little older and are a thinner twill. I haven't tried the chinos they released this year. I'm wearing a pair of Jomers chinos today, and they are very comfortable. Fit is about as good as Bonobos and they are about half the price. I do have some Bonobos chinos that I love though.
