Time to wait for a new Cultizm code and get the Hillsview?

Maybe... I really prefer raw or once-washed. These are core, so they should be restocked eventually, right?

Knowing my luck they'll just send me these again. Maybe other retailers will actually get some 30x34 to stock with the next run.

You should put a little telltale mark or something somewhere innocuous so when you order them in a year you’ll be able recognize your old friend.

Looking at it again... it's actually gorgeous. Geezus.

It is. I didn't get 30% off, but did get a 15% birthday code, so I don't feel AS bad about not waiting

Anyone would happen to have an XL so I can compare ? ^^

Well, the new jeans have certainly arrived.

Well, that answers that question. Of course, I predicted this, but was hoping I'd be wrong. Dang.

You know, I'd just keep them at this point (even without my beloved yellow tint) but sadly these are as tight as the other ones. The 2017 iterations must have been way less vanity sized. Or they've also been washed/dried. Being 7 years old, who knows where they've been.

Genuinely, they fit like slims. They do NOT fit like straights in this or any universe. I have chicken legs and they're tight as hell.

Because I'm the wacky DIY guy, I've tinted things myself (as has @G Khan recently). It works with RIT color Tan, very diluted. But I know that won't solve the size issue. Dang again.

I'd be interested in trying this when I find a pair that fits! I really love that yellow-tan tint, it has a unique charm that make the normal pairs look bland to me.

I would sure think so. But either way, they are obviously very strict about shipping the oldest inventory first.

Seriously, absolutely do that.

Guys, any experiences with the Whitman chinos (in general)? Does it shrink after washing?

 

[fwedo]

I have one. I love the fit, very large, and i love the fabric. I have not washed it since but, i suppose it's like other RL chinos i have : they shrink a little in the wash, but relax more when worn.
Shown here with RRL belt (to stick with the thread theme), non ironed linen PL shirt and polo distressed jungle jacket.

Beautiful fit

 

[symphvaria]

I would not describe the Whitman chino as fitting large at all, if anything it’s pretty heavily tapered compared to old RL chinos from the 80s and 90s. Love the details on it but they just didn’t commit to the fit.
