Hello,

I purchased several pairs of "Men's Straight Fit Stretch Garment Dye 5 Pocket Knockabout Chino Pants" from Lands' End about 2 years ago. They were Item: #509663-6P8.

These became my favorite pant because of their light weight, durability, and comfort. They are lighter weight and have a more smooth texture than typical khakis. They work well for casual work pants with a dress shirt, or as weekend knockabout pants.

Unfortunately, at this time Lands' End no longer offers these pants. I tried their Comfort-First Knockabout Chinos, which are 97% cotton/3% spandex. Unfortunately those are a heavier weight, heavier texture fabric, and seem more like a typical khaki pant.

Can anyone suggest another source of a light weight, smoother texture chino, either a 5 pocket or a dressier version with side slant pockets?

Thank you!

Welcome to Ask Andy!

It may not be what you are looking for, but I absolutely love poplins from O'Connell's. They are cut comfortably but not voluminous, very smooth, and blessedly lightweight. Good luck!

Take a look at BB's Clarke's Advantage Chinos. I suspect the tropical weight versions might be close to what you are looking for. Also, welcome to AAAC...looking forward to your future postings. Have a great day!

I agree with the BB Clarke's advantage.

Thank you for the suggestions above! I will check those out.

I recently purchased a pair of the Clarks. They seem to be the same pants I bought over the last 3 or 4 years and the price was $25 less.
