Low rise, tight seat, moderate (9"-9.5") leg opening. Rise seems to be much lower in the back than in the front, too, which is weird. Cut I think for guys who wear regular chinos on their hips; you can only wear the M3 that way, you slouch em down and they look kinda normal if a sweater is covering your waistline. Measurements can't tell the whole story. Strange cut. Hope you get pics.

I bought a pair and haven't had them hemmed yet. I'm going to need to have the tailor let the seat out before I can wear them. I find the M2 to be too baggy, and I'm not hopeful about the M3 even after alterations. It will probably be back to trying to find a good pair of chinos that fits me well. It's a shame because STP has a great deal on the M3s right now.

I've heard good things about Bill's Khakis. Are the legs tapered at all? Hard to tell from the website.

mtf,

You will find it much easier to take the M3 one waist size larger & have the waist taken in than trying to let the seat out. There is very little release in the seat. Also letting out twill fabrics usuallly leaves the stitching marks.

Good luck

just tried on a pair of these. no pics, but they're a great fit if you prefer (now I'm going to get all SW&D on you) a medium-low rise, tight top box and straight legs (and who's to say you don't). Not Dad pants at all. They are aimed at the slim - if you have anything in the trunk at all, these pants will fit tight.

Does anyone know the leg opening dimension on the M3?

Girls go wild. The old M1P's (I think) that I had were birth control for sure.
