Not feeling the Sage Richmond cargos, color isn't doing it for me and for some reason not digging the fit - will either send back or resell. Does anyone own the Plaza Tech cargos in Coyote? Would appreciate opinions / fit pics. Looking to replace a pair of Straw 18E Trek pants for being outdoors/active but also double-duty as casual cargos. I have a pair of Gorecki in natural or almond (idk which one, it was released same time as the charcoal) but want something w/ a stronger color which isn't too yellow like the Straw Treks.

No accounting for taste amiright.

Personally, I liked the ripstop on the coyote single pleats more. Then again, those sat so long that I got a second pair from this warehouse sale, so maybe I'm just a weirdo.
That is a great fabric, but the micro ripstop is super dense and compact. It has the lightness and durability of a nylon pant with the breathability of cotton. It is also washing/aging really really well.

How would you say it compares to the micro ripstop nylon? I got the work shirt, but it feels a little bit too outdoorsy for me to wear in regular life.

No disagreement - the fabric is bonkers - it's incredibly light and breathable, true to your billing. Color-wise, I'm not sure I'm feeling it (wish there were more khaki in the shade). I have olive double knees and gorecki, and those colors seem to work better with what I've got going in my wardrobe already. It was a quick browse though and I'll give it another shot but wanted to hear about anyone who's tried the plaza cargos since they final sale. Hope you are able to keep using this material in the future, Antonio - I'd like to own something in it!

It’s supposed to read more olive than khaki. Been wearing them basically nonstop (only 18 east pant i’ve ever gotten 2 of) with black, navy, ecru, brown, white. They don’t not go with basically anything I own. That said, the olive green plaza cargo is probably my second most worn pant atm. Fabric is much much heavier but has been washing/aging really well.

Yes, and it is tremendous. Great weight. I think the TTS sizing is right on. I can layer an L (my normal size across brands) with a button up nicely. And I think it would be fine with just a tee, too. The design and presence is wild. Most everything gets hung up in my closet, but I've let this sit on the dresser just to look at it.

Yeah, that material is real good! I have the Nomad in that same material that I really like. It can be a little prone to snags, but they don't bother me too much.

Would you say it runs true to the sizing chart? I haven't got mine yet, but sized up based on the measurements. I'm hoping that works as it's one of my favorite pieces in a while.

Mine is supposed to arrive today. Will update this thread
Much appreciated!
