Athletic-Fit Washed Comfort Stretch Chino Pant (Style 8PW7)

Our review of these athletic-fit washed comfort stretch chinos finds them best for men who want a tidy, modern casual pant with room through the thigh and a tapered look toward the ankle. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an athletic fit that leaves extra room in the hip and thigh while still sitting at the waist, which makes them comfortable for active builds without sacrificing a clean profile. The light washed twill gives a slightly lived-in appearance that works well for daily wear or a smart-casual outfit.

Key Features

• Athletic fit: Extra room in the hip and thigh gives mobility and comfort for men with a muscular build while still sitting at the waist.
• Stretch twill: Cotton stretch fabric provides give during movement and keeps the trousers comfortable across a full day.
• Khaki chino styling: Classic chino lines make these trousers versatile enough to wear casually or dressed up for business casual settings.
• Functional details: Zipper fly, button closure, front slant pockets and a fifth coin pocket add practical utility for everyday carry.
• Back pockets: Button-through classic back welt pockets preserve a polished look and secure small items.
• Leg opening: A 7 3/4' leg opening on the listed size creates a contemporary tapered silhouette at the ankle.

Who It's For

These chinos suit men with an athletic or muscular build who often find standard slim or straight cuts too tight across the thigh; the extra room in the hip and thigh keeps movement comfortable. They are also a good pick for anyone who wants a dependable, everyday chino that can be dressed up for the office or worn casually on weekends.

Shoppers who need a very loose, relaxed fit or who prefer heavyweight fabric for colder climates should look elsewhere, since these are built as a lighter washed cotton twill with stretch for a closer, contemporary fit.
