Appreciate all the hard work you put in. Looking forward to the performance chino/pant video. all the pants really suit you. Look custom. None of them look too flappy/wide at the bottom.

As a tall (6'3) guy with skinny legs I had always been hesitant buying 'slim fit' 'skinny fit' 'tapered' pants thinking it'd exacerbate the issue and making me look worse but it turns out it's paradoxically best to buy snug fitting pants since they give my legs some contour. Straight cut just makes me look boxy.

It's good to see tall guys fashion examples out there, hence I'm digging your channel quite a bit!

Just bought my first Bonobos order on your recommendations (chinos and button down shirt) Really impressed on first impressions with the cut/fit and quality at that price. Very clean cut. In the right spot of looking nice for your form without being too slim as well as not being baggy in spots. Really happy with my purchase

Awesome video and very informative. As a man who consistently pays the short-men tax, Uniqlo is a real winner for me. When they go on discount ($30, happen pretty often), they still shorten them for free (standard hem, +$5 for invisible hem). Sure, they aren't top quality but value-price ratio works for me!

Over the years, I’ve tried Dockers, JCP, and a few other brands for chinos, never kept em. BR was so close for me, but BONOBOS 😳🤯 So comfy!

[cssalc]

Absolutely fantastic video! Exactly what I wanted to learn about... Wow Jon you killed it with this one.

This is brilliant. Thank you so much for providing such an informative study. I basically live my life in chinos (mostly Banana Republic), and I found this super helpful. I think the Asket looks the best overall, but those Bonobos really make your bum look amazing. Because you like a slimmer cut, we often see lines beneath; it would be helpful if you said which style of underwear you are wearing (you don’t have to show them although I’m sure it would up the view count.. lol) but it would help yo know if visible lines are underwear lines, pocket lines or shirttail as some of those may be eliminate based upon what we wear. Thank you, again. Fantastic job.

It's absolutely criminal that this guy doesn't have 100k subscribers.

I've been buying Banana Republic chino pants for work over the past few years, but I've consistently had issues with them. The fabric tends to tear within a few months, the stitching comes undone in high-stress areas, and the color changes after washing. I'm now on the lookout for some affordable, high-quality chino pants that can hold up better.

[Fredburphle]

you read my mind with this video, I've been wanting advice on these for a while. Love the channel, keep it up!

[thadboudreaux]

Thank you for your work 👍
Thank you for informing me of Bonobos.
Their Stretch Washed Chino 2.0, and the Tech Short Sleeve shirts are a win for me.
The Bonobos Riviera short sleeve shirt is a step down.
You have helped me to discover that dressing nicer does not need to be uncomfortable or painful.

This was an excellent video. There was a wide variety of chinos and a decent amount of detail about each. Thank you, this was very helpful.

[JSnpy]

This man goes above and beyond every time! Great vid!

[steverocksyo]

I engineer lol. Get Gap for under $30 only.
All my br stuff still held after 20 years. Glad they're still going.

[forget]

Interesting video. Please consider including Dockers next time, and emphasize the fit. Although Bonobos may be made well, their fit doesn't work for me, and I think when one is talking about the "best, " one has to specify best for whom. BTW, when I see the outline of pockets on the outside of pants, I think the fit is too tight or the material too thin. Plus, I sense men moving away from slim pants toward tapered cuts that allow more room around the hips and thighs.

This is why I stay subbed. You do such excellent research!
