Do these Athletic-fit chinos fit me?
J.Crew 1040s. Squatting and deadlifting has finally caught up to me — had to give away my entire drawer of older stretch 484s.
These fit me better (a bit of room I can pull away especially in my glutes) but the pocket still looks like it’s stretching and I’m still noticing a bit of tenting in front.
I know baggy/pleated fits are more trendy these days but I’m not looking for that, just want a pair of decent-fitting chinos that’s lightly form-fitting — should I keep this in my waist size, or size up and then tailor the waist down?
