Anybody notice the new cotton casual trousers (khakis in 4 new colors) are tighter in the seat and crotch than prior versions? I typically get 32 Contemporary, and the fit seems very different. Uncomfortably so.
What colour?
These are sized the same as the lightweight chinos. They are larger in the seat/thigh than FW18 by nearly 1".
Bit of input: despite what the size charts say (this season's chinos 1" larger all around), one more data point confirming this season's batch of Contemporary chinos is indeed tighter in the seat than the FW19 chinos.
Not exactly groundbreaking, but if there's a takeaway here it's that a healthy dose of skepticism doesn't hurt with the size charts. In the past, I've even had pants of the same season/with the same item number fit differently.
Don't get me wrong, love me some Spier & Mackay, but can't wait until these finer details are ironed out. Then it will be a truly reliable one-stop shop. At the moment, a handful of variables at play that for me make returns more common than not. All praise to PayPal return shipping reimbursements.
