Long time lurker here, first time poster out of desperation. I, like others, am on the quest for the ultimate pair of fitting khakis. I am tall (6'4") with an athletic build looking for khakis with a relatively larger leg opening that is not tapered, preferably 18". Not looking for a blousy...

I work in aerospace, where chinos are plenty stylish for regular use. Therefore, I'm always needing a supplier of high-quality, good-looking chinos. Based on my reading here, I've tried Epaulet, Bill's, and Brooks Brothers. I bought several pairs of chinos as well as some shorts from Bills...

Hello. I'd like to purchase a pair of shoes to use with chinos and dark wash jeans. I was debating between two shoes from Allen Edmonds: MacAllister--short wing, oxford, more broguing, Dainite sole...

Hello All,I should state now that I am English, so there may be quite a few sartorial disagreements!Most days I wear chinos ... with a break. I realise this is far from 'trad', but is it acceptable to wear longer chinos where the climate is cooler and one doesn't want cold ankles?Thank you in...

Hi everyone. I'm a long-time lurker, first-time poster. J. Crew's Essential Chinos have been my go-to casual pant for quite some time. I've always bought them at the store, however, so they've been uncuffed. I finally bought two pairs unfinished from the J. Crew website. Would I would like...

Greetings gentlemen, I would like to present some photos of myself for critical review. I'm interested in anything you have to say, from fit and quality to my complexion and how well it all goes together with the given ensembles. I'll give you a head start: What do you think about the length...

Could I please get a formal definiton for khakis vs. chinos because all I have to go on is what different stores choose to label either "khakis" or "chinos". From Askmen.com, the I got the difference stated as khakis being of a more casual style (e.g. with pocket flaps over the back pockets)...
