These are my new Jack Donnelly chinos in their M2 fit, which is a straight fit. I'm beginning my journey away from slim fit and stretch, and want to enter well-dressed middle age without frumpy or dad-fitting pants. The 'bachelor uncle' is the look I'm going for.
The fit on these is a little roomier than I'm used to, not having worn baggy pants in public since 1998. I would not call these baggy, but I do feel the legs and seat could use just a little taking-in. This would not be an expensive proposition for my tailor.
The photos don't really convey it, but they feel -- roomy -- when I'm out and about and catch a glimpse of my reflection passing a window or such. I have short legs proportional to my torso, so the taper from seat to hem looks more abrupt when I'm walking. Looking back at the seat, it looks sort of baggy. Very comfortable to sit in, so I don't want to sacrifice that but I'm willing to compromise slightly.
Thoughts and feedback are appreciated, gentlemen. Thank you.
