I have 2 pair. They're definitely not slim cut, but I like the material (pretty heavy, but soft) and some of the details. I'll probably add them back into my rotation around Sept-Oct when it starts cooling off.

Just received the JCrew urban slim fit chinos (29x32). Fit pretty well, but I was hoping for a darker color so I will probably return. Also tried out the new gap slim khakis in 29x30, but they are too short (see awkward photos).

Could you get measurements on either one?

Received the Rivet Chinos from Epaulet, but found out I ordered the wrong size mistakenly (good thing I have an eye appointment tomorrow!).

However, the button-fly is substantial and beautifully done, the material is top-notch, and the construction is something else. From eyeballing it with a pair of MJKs, the fit seems to be rather skinny with a very small knee measurement.

i have a few pair of essential chinos from j.crew classic fit. does anyone have any reccomendations for even more casual chinos in the same fit or similar? or should i just settle for the same thing, but broken-in?

 

[dunelly]

yes
or the stanton pants, which are the same but uses thinner fabric

Forget the fit, the new Gap slims are awful - cheap, thin material that wrinkles when you look at them wrong.

Their new "vintage khakis" are much better, but not as slim and not made for office wear.

I've got a pair of grey khakis from gap and they always get heaps of compliments. I find them to be a slim fit, assuming you get the right size.

Not anymore. Couple (I think) seasons ago they re-did them. A year or so ago they were pretty much cut like J.crew's classic fit. Now they're more like the urban slim but I think slightly lower rise and definitely slimmer through the thigh. I find j.crews classic/urban slim to be too loose in the thighs and the Rugby ones are now almost too slim in the thighs for me.


Also - Does anyone own any UNIS chinos or cords in the Gio fit? Measurements on a 30? I'm considering the royal blue cords but have never tried them on so I'm a little iffy about purchasing them w/ no ability to return.

do the "cheap **** pair" have the same color as the other khakis you like from H&M? I really like the color of the "cheap **** pair" because I have seen them too unfortunately I do not like the wrinkles it may have. Do you know the "5" as h&m employees call it? It is on the price tag XXXX/X replace the X's with numbers. If you call other H&M stores with that number they can look for it for you in your size. If you do find out that "5" number code please share with us as I would like to see what these khakis look like as well.

club monaco: the new wright fit that came out in July in a wide array of colors

Club monaco's one is too expensive for what it is.........I check it out recently, it is listed at around 120 USD.........well, you can buy it on sale, but you have to wait a few months.

Also got the Gap khakis. Fit pretty well, better than the Dockers D1 slim fit.

D1 isn't even slim. I tried a pair on in a size 28 and it was huge, it was at least 2 sizes too big in the waist too when I'm usually a 30.

I thought they fit pretty true to size. I'm a 30 and fit a 30. Tried on a 29 and was about to pop the button. I think the D1 are certainly slimmer than the BR slims.
