Different strokes and all that, but those look horrible, at least on that model.

Yeah, khaki leggings are not a good look.

This looks very similar to the RRL officer chino except for the back pockets. Even the buttons are the same. Not knocking on these BiG, these look nice and I'll keep an eye out for a restock as well.

They're really horrible in that pic (like all ASOS model pics) but they fit like classic sta-prest.

Is there another site that has these in stock? I'm looking for a 28. My go-to khaki is a pair of J Crew in classic fit, or urban slim fit in the summer; both are good fits without being overly slim.

I don't think so. That's an inhouse label, so only Asos would carry it. And not to diss Asos, but my gf has some stuff from them and she told me a few times that the material's sort of crappy. Perhaps men's and women's are different...

I buy my khakis/Chinos from JCrew and Gap mainly because I can get them in an inseam longer then 34. I find it hard to find that in most other brands. JCrew's stuff is great quality, but sometimes I go with Gap because you get get them so cheap with additional off coupons and the frequent sales they have.

Having said that, I have been trying to expand into color so any brands that carry more then just Khaki, Navy and Black earn a +1 in my book.

Jcrew, not sure the range but they appear be tailor instead of machine dried like most of the Jcrew look.

These taper down to 8" at the hem, though personally I feel that 7.5" would look better, 7" would be too slim.

I like a good amount of taper without them being too slim above the knee which I find looks terrible with my jackets.

+1, except I bought directly from a Save Khaki location. The styling on them isn't my favorite, but the fit, construction, and fabric are incredible. So comfortable.

When talking about fit and recommending brands people should mention their weight/height and possibly provide a fit pic, otherwise this discussion is not overly useful. For example, Wings+Horns chinos do not look good on someone real skinny, but on a slim guy with slightly more heft they can look pretty good. Likewise the Mr. Olive chinos that I like fit me superbly, but a lot people could not fit into them due to the tighter thighs.

Also, where can Save Khaki be bought reliably on-line? I've always found this brand to be kind of obscure with largely only people in NYC being aware of it.
