IH-735-KHA - 11oz Herringbone Work Pants - Khaki

[popvulture]

Love the pics @ARNC ! They're making me psyched about choosing this color vs the green.

I think fit wise they're spot on — you can tuck in your shirt, and they don't look too tight in the butt (imo). Trying both sizes always a great option though, and I feel like since most trouser type pants don't stretch much, comfort from the get-go is key. I learned that lesson with my wabash pants, thought they were doable but they just never got comfortable for me so I had to sell em and size up.

@popvulture thanks. The shirt was a very light poplin, so makes no real difference though. I don’t think a heavier shirt would work tucked.

Hope yours work out - the colour is great but really hard to capture on camera. The khaki will work better for me than the green with other stuff I’ve got (or might soon have but that’s a story for another day).

Snug but not tight. Like no belt needed snug. If they stretch .25” they’ll be golden.

Looks like a perfect fit, Matt.

[Matt]

Thank you! They feel good. Excited to pair them up with tees and sneaks and show them off.

[ARNC]

@Matt yours look great!

[flannel slut]

@Matt well done sir… assuming you sized down to a 32 for the snug waist?

[Matt]

Yes. I got the biggest one, 33.3”.

[ARNC]

Well, I now have both sizes and I think I know which way I’m jumping – see if you can guess . Thanks to @JoshC for all his help behind the scenes!

Hope the pics might help anyone else who is between sizes.

[Matt]

I can’t tell which you’re going with. More details please… @ARNC

[flannel slut]

Bottom FTW?

[ARNC]

@Matt @flannel-slut I’m going to go with the 34 as they feel so much better on. The legs are slightly trimmer on the 33 but the waist and top block on the 34 win.

I’m encouraged that Matt couldn’t tell which way I was going, but when I found myself wondering if I could sit comfortably with stuff in my pockets, the answer was clear

[popvulture]

I definitely feel like they look better a size up! The 33s looked good but there's that little ripple at the top of the fly near the top button — that's always an indicator to me that a pair I'm wearing is a little small. Sometimes I ignore it, especially if a size up would be too big in other areas, but those 34s look like they solved all problems while still keeping a clean fit. Good job.

[sabergirl]

Yep 34 is the winner. No question.

[Matt]

After sleeping on it I’ve decided mine need to go back as well. The waist isn’t measuring up as big as I’d hoped and I’ll be happier with a bigger size. I may even go for the 12 oz chinos instead. @ARNC thanks for helping me figure it out.

Comfort is key

[ARNC]

@Matt I thought yours looked good but I guess it depends on how they feel. To a degree, I think comfort is overrated but I know what wins if it comes down to a choice of looking good and breathing!

Maybe it all boils down to listening to @sabergirl. She always seems to be right about such things!

[Matt]

I can get down with that.

went for 36- 36.9 to be exact, instead of 38 and it fit ok
