How are these for business casual? If I buy 2 or more it comes out to $34.65 each.

I've been wearing this style BR khakis/chinos for several years, though the description on the link you provided states that these are a new softer version.

The pairs that I own have all held up extremely well. I purchased them because of their slimmer, "less sloppy" fit, and naturally I don't wear mine quite as long as in the picture on the web site. Since they are flat front, and not a relaxed fit, they do have a slimmer fit which I prefer.

I've had many brands, including much higher end, and these are my preferred brand. I give them a thumbs up.

You won't find much love here for Banana Republic, but i agree with the last post. For me, they are just fine, especially when you can get them on sale. I take them to my tailor, and for another $18 get them tapered to about 17 inches.

A few years ago when BR had pleated chinos I bought those, and they were solid. But I also got them on sale from $10-15. You should, however, be able to get them 50% off if you wait.

Would those go with the chinos and a polo?

Would those go with the chinos and a polo?

I think that would be fine, personally. Lots of AEs I think would look great with more laid back clothes.

J Crew also

Gentlemen

I agree Banana Republic are nice. Also check out J Crew. They have really nice chinos. I get the aged when on sale. Really great. Have 3 pair of these now. Onsale about 45 bucks.

Nice day

Those shoes would be perfect! All this talk about chinos and penny loafers makes me need to go read the trad thread.

The Gavin is very nice, not the big baggy chino like most, a bit slimmer look. They hold up very well.
