I’m in the market for several pairs of casual chinos (no permanent crease so D1s are out) to wear as an upgrade to jeans. The profession I’m in has most wearing ill-fitting khakis and polo shirts. I like to wear at least a button up shirt and a well-fitting pair of khakis. But that’s just the problem. I can’t seem to find any.
The trouble comes because I am a 32x33 length in most pants. For reference I wear 501’s in 32x32 and try on a number of different pairs to get the longest possible. I have several pairs of gap dress khakis from a few years ago in 32x34 that puddle at the bottom.
I’ve tried on the JCP causal chinos in 32x32 and they were too slim in the seat/thigh and too short. Conversely, the 34x34 was way too baggy and too long. I tried on gap’s latest offerings (slim and otherwise) and had the same problem – the 32x32 was an inch too short and the 34x34 an inch too long. I tried on the Emerson chinos from BR and had the same problem as at gap. The Gavin chinos were way too baggy in a 32 waist as well.
So basically, I want casual chinos that fit similarly to 501s (I’m fine with slight tapering as long as it’s not calf hugging) that aren’t too short or too long. Any thoughts? Anything I’m overlooking?
