Bonobos standoff: Original Stretch Washed Chino vs Stretch Washed Chino 2.0
Pros and cons of each model to declare a winner. Also, whether or not the latter being 4 times stretchier justifies considering it despite claims of a drop in quality.

Don't buy stretch chinos
Can't. Huge thighs
Yes you can. Bigger cuts will look way way better over huge thighs 
than stretch fabric pulled over them
than stretch fabric pulled over themAthletic fit + only 2% stretch seems like the only compromise from the brand
This being said, I foster way too many painful memories of 100% chinos
Buy from a different brand
Any alternatives that aren't techwear then?
Aside from BR's Rapid Movement chinos

J Crew Giant Chinos are a similar cut
A bit too wide though
With their return policy, just get 'em both and see which you like better.
