Bonobos

Tried a pair a while back. The fit sucks, unless you wants pants that hug your ass and then flare out at the bottom like those pants girls wear to yoga class.

Bonobos sells a lot of pants. Actually, a huge number of pants.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I was tempted to buy in the past because it's hard to find casual pants with 36 inseam and all of ther 34w used to be 36in. I always chickened out because I couldn't find credible reviews.

Aldo sells a lot of shoes. Douche it up FTW.

Their shorts are pretty nice.

I have two pair that I picked up at the sample sale for $50/each and I like them a lot, though I did have my tailor slim the leg and get rid of the flare. Their fits aren't consistent though...probably had to try on 10 to find 2 that worked. I wouldn't pay full retail but I like the ones I have.

I have quite a few pairs of Bonobos but don't feel qualified to offer a review as I don't have enough experience with other brands in this price range. With my limited experience, I can say they're a step up from mall brands. Most likely not SF approved but great for someone building a wardrobe on a budget.

If you don't like the pants, returning items to Bonobos is very easy and it's free shipping both ways; you can send anything back if you don't think the quality is up to snuff. They offer a hassle free return policy that involves nothing more than a couple of clicks with a mouse and printing off a FedEx label from a link they provide. You won't have to have to justify/explain yourself to someone over the phone. Point and click in under a minute.

Should you need to e-mail/phone them about something, Bonobos customer service if amazing. Any e-mail I've sent has been responded to in under an hour and they're always willing to go the extra mile to make any mistakes right.

For those who tried and disliked them a while back, I think they have changed their cut a bit. I also really disliked how even their straight fit were much too loose below the knee, but I exchanged a pair and ordered another new pair recently and they are much slimmer with the leg opening reduced at least half an inch, maybe more. I am wearing a pair today and they are very nicely tapered down to the leg opening.

Does anyone have any experience with these. Seems like a J. Crew style licensing deal.

I met a guy who works for them. Nice guy. His business card had his job title as "Ninja". I was confused.

People here have criticized the suits rather harshly before, though I think just based on how it looks, especially the coat length. I think some of their own products are nice, and some of the other brands they sell like those shoes can be a very good deal at times because they frequently have discounts, Groupon-type gift certificate deals, etc.

They are frequently on Gilt.com
Saw them more than once in past month.

Yeah but they give free 2-way shipping and unlimited returns. Gilt definitely doesn't. Worth buying from Bonobos directly if you want to try them.

Has anyone tried their shorts? Would you say they are slim? True to size?
