Fit Check:

I am undecided about whether to sell or keep these 107's. Are these size 3 too big? Do you think they "bloom" too much at the thighs? I could button the size 2, but they weren't comfortable. I'm trying to get away from my slimmer jeans, but without going wide-leg. The waist and rise on these are perfect with a tucked in shirt. I just worry a little about the way the thighs are falling. Thoughts?

Soak them; my 1 wash shrunk noticeably with lukewarm water. Start with cold water, hang dry, check the fit and progressively increase the temp of the water if needed be.

Push comes to shove, get them taken in a little, they aren't that big to begin with and they need to be hemmed anyway.

I’d recommend to try 105 in size 2. After few washes the hem would be slim enough for the fit you seem to be after. Even better option would be Full Count 1108w

Morning everyone!

Does anybody have the regular fatigue pants? I just bought them in a size 3 (I usually wear a size 31 or 32 in most pants) and I'm unsure if I should go down 1 size since these have a higher rise and sit right at the waistline.. I have a little room (can wear them with the waist tabs buttoned although it is a bit tight)

(last 2 pics are with the tabs buttoned)

Any advice? How much do they stretch out/shrink?

Thank you!

Minimal shrink, really only noticed inseam very slightly. The tabs are there to cinch up waist, so if it's tight with the tabs you probably don't want to size down

Has anyone had their Regular fit fatigues tailored? I found a second hand pair of the black stone wash that I was searching for, but only in a size 4. I want to take them in to be hemmed for sure, but also want them to be slightly less baggy. Will there be an issue because of the double stitching on the side?

Minimal. I had only one side tab buttoned for about a year and just started on the second this year. A cold wash and low dry will tighten them right back up

Thank you for your answers!

Seems that I need to get used to pants with a higher rise like these (by far, the roomiest pair of pants that I own). Even wearing them at the waist under the belly button I feel that they are sagging a bit, don't want to look sloopy on these :)

Yeah, I understand that feeling. I think I actually prefer the slim fit fatigues. They have similar top block, lower rise and zippered opening. They get more wear than my regular fit ones.

I do. They shrink a bit in warm water but stretch out again. I wear them over the waist and my only complaint is that the button fly is hard to do up. I wish Orslow would put a zipper on them like the slim fit model.

I agree too that the button fly is substandard and a zipper fly would make these ideal.

Same. I ended up having my pair of regular fit fatigues made into shorts as I never wore them and wanted them slightly shorter than OrSlow’s fatigue shorts regardless.

Found the cotton fatigue do stretch in the waist if you need them to. They return when washed. As they are a loose fit (though not as wide as other repro brands) I went for the size that felt a little tight at first, the one up looked really sloppy.
