How much would you say they've stretched in the waist, if at all.

DUDE love the red...

so can i get some clarification?

there was a slight flaw at the pocket (really cant tell haha even after you keep mentioning and im zooming in on those pics) but these are on sale.

you said you are making them again in a couple of weeks ... so those will be "regular" priced" and "fixed" or are you making all new colors?

thanks mauro!!! amazing job!

EDIT: nevermind i saw the page before ...

The only person that the pocket thing was bad on was me, and that's because I tried wearing them way tight. Even on me, I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm not as meticulous as some. The chinos feel great in person though! I definitely recommend them.

What size work comfortably for you and what size do you normally wear in pants/trousers then?

Also (and while we're giving out recommendations), I recommend you get them bad boys on the site ASAP

So, I got my hands on a pair of the elusive chinos. The fabric really stands out. Its the perfect weight for spring/summer but heavy enough where I will be able to wear it year round.

The construction is clean and crisp. The only issue is a small amount of bunching by the bottom of the side pocket. This was only noticeable when I tried on a size which was obviously too small. Once I sized up to accommodate my legs and ass the bunching went away. So for those of you who are cyclists or do too many squats in the gym, you should probably think about sizing up one.

I like the fit more than my kmw chinos which are a more traditional higher rise. Also, I noticed on my rrl officer chinos there is a similar bunching by the pockets. I never would have noticed if I hadn't been looking for it just like on these.

For reference, I'm 5'11" 185, 24" at the thigh.

The ones that fit - size 36:

Too small - size 34 (my usual size):

PS
Respect to Mauro for offering these at a discount because of the "flaw." To my untrained eye I never would have noticed any problem if he hadn't pointed it out. These are a steal for the price and I'm not just saying that...its ridiculous that he isn't selling them for as much or more than what the RRL officer chino's go for.

That is completely normal and is an indicator that khaki's and slacks are too small for you.

Not to sound overly cheap, but do the tote discounts still apply to this? Thanks

So because of my little error I am offering 30% off to all SF memebers and tote holders know the drill.
The "know the drill" phrase is usually a reference to the 20-percent discount, but since we're look at a 30-percent markdown for everyone, I'm not sure what that means here.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone but I believe it's 30%+10% for goat herders.

And Mauro you're an asshole, I don't know how I'm going to pay you back.

Nice. I figured it was something along those lines. I'll give the red chinos a whirl at that price tag.
