ID on the pants from this inspo post

Apparently from the Universal Surplus site so I assume some army chino? Anyone have any idea more specific for what ones would be this wide? I can't figure out if these are a specific one on their website

Bronson mfg has chinos like this, JCrew giant chinos look kinda like this too

Maybe I was wrong when I said chinos were bad

mewball•8/3/23, 10:30 PM

Pleated chinos like these are hard as fuck

Mmewball Maybe I was wrong when I said chinos were bad

KissGo-Goat•8/3/23, 10:32 PM

I think chinos kinda suffer from associations with "business casual"

mewball•8/3/23, 10:33 PM

I just mostly think they look bad when I see them in fits tbh

Jjulie Thanks

KissGo-Goat•8/3/23, 10:33 PM

They have other cheaper chinos on this site but they might not fit like that

KissGo-Goat•8/3/23, 10:36 PM

Yeah from what I read these are pretty old + chinos are relatively wearable and versetile

Mmewball I just mostly think they look bad when I see them in fits tbh

KissGo-Goat•8/3/23, 10:36 PM

What do you prefer?

mewball•8/3/23, 10:39 PM

anything more interesting, though a lot of the time I think it’s just poor quality fabric chinos which are more common

mewball•8/3/23, 10:39 PM

These are all really nice

mewball•8/3/23, 10:40 PM

Maybe you’re right about the association too, I think I associate it with a very specific look and may be ignoring chinos when they aren’t bad lmao

KissGo-Goat•8/3/23, 10:48 PM

I think we all do that

Depends on the wear tbh. I have one nearly deadstock pair that is mid weight cotton drill and i have one super worn in pair that are incredibly lightweight

You can kinda see how the deadstock pair is more stiff compared to the worn pair

oh yeah. the look great. the cut is fantastic

Digs•8/3/23, 11:04 PM

Some of my favorite pants, button fly, great cut and rise. They are very comfortable too. Most of the ones you see on ebay and etsy are pretty overpriced but if you keep an eye out you can get them cheap. Both of these were purchased for ~$50
