My first pair of pants is lots-of-pockets stretchy-yet-tough 6-zippered-pockets drawsting-cuffs softshell pants from Kuhl and I love them, until it's time for chiiiiiiillllll. So I recently had this thought about how carrying even the lightest bottom base layers is a dead weight unless you're in a really cold climate, yet there could be pants that could work as an under-layer below my regular pants and still hold on their own. So then I realized slim joggers would be perfect, yet they're usually heavy and cotton, both of which are a no-no for traveling and base-layering. And then it came upon me that there must exist lightweight fleece joggers which must be peftect.
Yet I can't be the genious savant, if that would be as perfect as I think, such item would be all over every traveler's packing list, yet I've never seen it anywhere.
Hi all
I usually wear jeans in 32W but have difficulties find proper touring trousers in long format that are not exceptionally baggy or too short. I’m very much on the slender side at 6”2 with 70kg.
Any ideas which brands/models I should look out for? I’ll mainly go on touring trips, so looking for waterproof trousers with thermal liners

This post was longer than expected. See TL;DR at bottom.
Title kind of says it all. I don't own chairs. I'm a minimalist. So, I sit crosslegged on the floor almost all day everyday, because I work from home. I like to wear my regular work clothes while working from home in order to maintain some sense of professionalism. Now, the problem is that when I leave home after work, I find that my pants are looking pretty ugly and worn behind the knees.
For reference, I wear basic cotton chinos, slim fit. I used to only wear Uniqlo chinos, but have recently switched to Land's End chinos because I like the style and material a bit better. With that said, the problem was still there, but not as bad, with Uniqlo chinos.
Anyway, I'm starting to wonder if I should switch to a wider leg, maybe a regular or classic fit, and possibly go with high-waisted pleated pants. Here's why: The problem is not as bad with wider leg or classic fit pants, and I've also got a giant Johnson, so I have quite the bulge with slim fit chinos - might as well give myself some room if I'll be switching up my style anyway.
Okay, so here's my body type. I'm 6'3" - 6'4", most recent weight was 180, though I seem to fluctuate between 170 and 190 depending on how sedentary I am and how much I drink. I have a naturally athletic build, though I haven't been exercising recently, but plan to get back into shape. In terms of my personal style, it's minimalist - I basically just wear loafers, chinos, and either a casual button shirt or some kind of sweater or sweatshirt. I mostly wear black, various shades of blue, and white. I'm a bright winter in terms of color, so reflective skin and dark brown hair and eyes - I look best in black and white.
TL;DR: Two questions: 1. If I'm sitting crosslegged everyday, how can I avoid the ugly wrinkles behind my knees? 2. I wear slim fit chinos. Is a regular or classic fit the answer? Should/could I wear high waisted pleated pants while I'm at it?
Thanks
my chef is no longer allowing jeans to be worn in the kitchen, i absolutely hate baggy work pants, does anybody know of some good slimmer fitting pants that could be worn in the kitchen?
Lululemon ABC Pants (33X32) - (1) Navy Blue, (1) Khaki Colors - $40 each, $70 for both $SOLD$
- Pretty sure these are just the classic fit. Havent been worn hardly at all, simply too big. No tags, but in very good condition.
686 Everywhere Pants (Slim Fit 34X32) - (1) Gray, (1) Green Colors - $45 each, $80 for both
- These are a bit worn, but still have a lot of life left in them.
Vollebak Carbon Fibre Grey (XL) - $75
- Only worn once, in like new condition. Just didn't really like the feel of the shirt. I missed the return window. Its an XL, but from Europe and this runs small. I usually wear a Medium/Large, never an XL - and this fit me good.
Will give a discount for someone buying multiple things as indicated above. Free shipping!
I know it's probably a shot in the dark but I wish they would have that option. I know it doesn't fit into to the "wholesale model" is my guess. One time they did have "kirkland signature tailored pants" and I bought 3 pairs and then i found 2 on ebay and bought those. J ust a rant :)
Anyone have recommendations for pants that that fit a taller/skinny toddler boy? He needs to wear a 3t in his waist but all the 3Ts are high waters and he is too skinny to wear 4t’s.
Thanks in advance for the recs!!
Hi everyone! I'm a fan of the Rufus style which has since been discontinued, and wondering if anyone has recommendations for pants with a similar fit? I love how the Conan has the same slim fit with way more colors but unfortunately its too low rise on my long torso. Would be great if the fabric is the same as the wrinkle-proof Jallade ones but I like Terado too. Unfortunately I've taken a look at a lot of the newer styles and hated how carroty the fit looks - the thighs are incredibly huge and I'd prefer a straight/slim thigh pants.
Figured I'd throw this review + sizing guide here on /malefashionadvice since I spent quite a bit of time trying to nail down my sizing before buying a pair of these orSlow Slim Fit Fatigue Pants. I went through various website's sizing charts, as well as reading some threads on here like /u/AffordableEarl 's thread on comparing various Fatigue Pants.
The full write-up with charts and photos: https://theshade.witheredfig.com/2021/09/worn-orslow-slim-fit-fatigue-pants-sizing-guide-and-nine-month-review/
For a quick TL;DR: In general most folks will be able to fit well in two different sizes, depending on how you'd like the overall fit to be. Obviously, the lower size being a bit slimmer and tighter all around, with the upper size being more relaxed. The waist has two adjustable button tabs on each side, which you can use to tighten the waist by 0.5" per button. Meaning, if the waist measures 32" when laid flat, you can get it down to 31" using both buttons, or go in-between with just one button and landing at 31.5". So there's quite a bit of flexibility built in to these Fatigue Pants. The only other quick note is that throwing these in the washer and dryer will definitely tighten them up, but will just as quickly stretch back out after a couple wears. Overall it'll stretch out just a tad in the waist and areas of high tension (maybe knees or thighs), but shouldn't experience much shrinkage, if any.
Feel free to leave some questions or comments here and I'll try to answer!

I'm not sure what flair this goes under as I think it could go under pattern question, fabric question, or pattern search?
So, I have Kiana Bonollo's leather pants pattern as well as This is Kachi's slim pants pattern. I wanted to use one of them to make a pair of linen pants. However, I bought the linen (it's 100% linen with no stretch, I'm unsure of what type of fabric/weave it would be defined as but it appears to be medium-weight?) before I bought any patterns with the idea of making a slim fit pair of pants in mind. Photo of the linen below.

After buying both of these patterns, I noticed that they both said to have medium-weight stretch fabric (like stretch denim or stretch faux leather) and I realized my mistake in buying pure linen rather than any with elastane. I have about 3.5 yards of this linen and would love to make a pair of pants out of it still. So, I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for either:
- A slim fit (or just straight leg/not wide) pattern for pants I could do with a non-stretch fabric?
- How I can potentially alter the pattern while cutting (do I just size up using a muslin then see if it works) to make it work for non-stretch fabric?
Any and all help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
