ID on the pants from this inspo post
Apparently from the Universal Surplus site so I assume some army chino? Anyone have any idea more specific for what ones would be this wide? I can't figure out if these are a specific one on their website

Thanks
Holy shit that's expensive
Might go Bronson 🥴
Maybe I was wrong when I said chinos were bad
Pleated chinos like these are hard as fuck
I think chinos kinda suffer from associations with "business casual"
I just mostly think they look bad when I see them in fits tbh
They have other cheaper chinos on this site but they might not fit like that

Yean I think you are paying more becuase they are deadlock vintage. You will find reproductions for cheaper if you google that style probably

Yeah from what I read these are pretty old + chinos are relatively wearable and versetile
What do you prefer?
anything more interesting, though a lot of the time I think it’s just poor quality fabric chinos which are more common
These are all really nice
Maybe you’re right about the association too, I think I associate it with a very specific look and may be ignoring chinos when they aren’t bad lmao
I think we all do that
just fyi for anyone who likes the look of those German chinos, you can get them for 2-6€ per pair here https://www.raeer.com/shopexd.asp?id=2303

fit on those is great. i've been aware of these orslows for awhile but i can't bring myself to spend that on khaki chinos https://www.kafkamercantile.com/us/item/39315/orSlow/Vintage-Fit-Army-Trousers---Khaki.html

pleats make them 87% better for sure
i'm going to write a love song to the rise on these pants
Perfect rise if you ask me
what's the weight like? super heavy?
wow that is pretty cool
Depends on the wear tbh. I have one nearly deadstock pair that is mid weight cotton drill and i have one super worn in pair that are incredibly lightweight
Deadstock
Worn
Agree
You can kinda see how the deadstock pair is more stiff compared to the worn pair
oh yeah. the look great. the cut is fantastic
Some of my favorite pants, button fly, great cut and rise. They are very comfortable too. Most of the ones you see on ebay and etsy are pretty overpriced but if you keep an eye out you can get them cheap. Both of these were purchased for ~$50
My orslow wide chinos are sick
Chinos made of real heavy chino fabrics in a military high rise wide fit are fantastic. A pox on all slim chino wearers
That kinda chino is definitively on my wish list
cheaper alternative: i just remembered these $30 ebay llbean pleated trousers
might've been $20
