Slim fitting chinos / pants

ahjota · Apr 9, 2009

I put the selvage chinos from Spurr at the top of my list in this category. Low-rise, slim but not skinny, button fly... If I could only find a pair in 30-31...

Not too narrow of a leg opening, but that's as big as I prefer nowadays on my chino's especially for casual workwear. Fit pics when I get some time.
+1 on Gap. I have a couple of pairs. I like them because they're slim above the knee, not below, but if that bothers you, a tapering job is trivial. Here's one of my own fit pics from WAYWT, earlier this year:

Mine are size 28x32, and measure ~31" at the waistband, ~11" across the thigh, <8" across the leg opening. They're sized to your true waist, not your wearing waist.

I just got the barnyes co op fit book in and the APC cotton chino pants are the best fit in the book imo, gonna have to check them out.

Here's the fit pics on the Gap Originals I just purchased as well:

I also enjoy the gap original fit...they fit wider at the ankle than I would prefer, but they fit better in the thighs and seat than j. crew and tapering the leg is easier than fixing the ass. Fit pic:

Sweet. Is tapering a simple 'couple-bucks' job for a tailor or is it more difficult? Could someone even taper their own trousers at home? I've noticed the same with Gap trousers - even the slim fit. Fit beautifully on the leg and cheeks but have a little too wide leg opening.

nice fits those with the Gap originals .

somehow, my sz30 Gap originals khaki fit me a little big in the thighs and hem compared to your fits. I may want to put it up for sale soon. If anyones interested please PM me.

They come in navy too. They made my butt look gud. I kinda want them now but might be able to kop at sales time somewhere. Then again, an affiliate might get them soon and maybe i could get discount. Could be hemmed an inch or two i think for less break.

Steven alan makes some great ones. If you're a new yorker, hit the outlet store and get them for $60.

I bought a pair of these today after wearing a pair of Gap originals a lot this summer (whenever it was too hot for my New Standards).

The Gap ones are 33/32, the AE ones are 32/32. If I went down further on the Gap ones, I would get the dreaded pocket bulges.

The AE fit me a lot better. They are slimmer (leg opening seems smaller, but I don't feel like measuring) with virtually no diaper ass (which is insane on the Gap ones). The fabric is also noticeably thicker and higher quality; the Originals are flimsy. The pocketbags are smaller, which I prefer, and the rise isn't so high.

I felt nasty after entering AE, but for five bucks less I am much happier with these.

I received a pair of 30/30 urban slim fit chinos from J. Crew today. Count me as a believer, especially at $23.99.

Is the wash pretty "vintage" inspired or these can be dressed up?

I'm wearing it to work today. The only distressing that I can see is on the hem, and it's very small little tears. Not noticeable except upon close inspection of the lip of the hem.

on Rag & Bone. The RB23 cut for their pants is really slim. Fitted top block with a good taper but not too much of a taper. I'd size up 1 because the top block is really fitted, but otherwise it's a great cut.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but Rugby makes a pretty slim chino.

If you're in DC or Miami, drop by the Sisley store. I picked up two pairs of chino trousers from them that I really, really like. $80, I think. They're at the tailor's right now being taken in (they only had a EU46, when I really needed an EU45), but when I get them back I'll try and snap a pic.

The Ladoga trousers from Shipley and Halmos FW08 are nice, too. They're not chino material, but they can serve a similar purpose.
