The gray chino turned out a tad short. No break, but with some shoes, like low sneakers, you can see the sock when I'm standing. Luckily, they're shoes that I normally wear without socks. Also, the opening is tapered down to 15" which I've decided is just a bit too faddy for me. I think I'll stick with 16" next time.
These khaki chinos are just about what I want. They're tapered from 17" down to 16". There's a bit of a break, but there's nothing wrong with that. They're khakis, so if I'm really bothered, I can always cuff them.
For $16 a pair, not too bad at all. Then considering what I paid for the pants, it's a steal.
Finally. They look pretty darn good. If you don't mind me asking, who are they by? Can i just buy any pair and make them look like this?
ReplyDeleteGray are Calvin Klein and khaki are Chaps. So they're on the low end of things. It's all about knowing a good tailor. Those Chaps have lasted me 4 years and aren't showing signs of crotch rip (the first place khakis rip for me). Others may tell you otherwise, but I think it's unreasonable to spend over $150 on a pair of pants. Including tailoring (so add $16), neither of these cost me more than $50.
