Casual pants? Input needed

[cornfedkiller]

Hoping you guys can give me some ideas as I seem to be striking out. I'm looking for a pair of casual pants, something you'd wear to the office or out on a date. I'd really prefer khaki color. I don't want any zippers on the legs, and I'd prefer no pockets on the legs at all, but can handle a small subtle pocket (like the "phone" pockets some companies use). All the pants I've found so far seem to have some sort of issue that I don't like.

$28 Walmart Wranglers fit great, but they have zippers on the sides of the legs. I wear them quite a bit for working around the yard, farm, shop, but don't love the aesthetics of the zippers.

Tried on the Kuhl resistor lite jean klassik in the store and they fit great, but they dont have any colors I like.

Kuhl resistor pant and jean - dont like the pockets on the legs.

Ordered the Kuiu Enroutes and thought I found the holy grail of pants - the fit, the fabric feel and weight, pockets, everything was awesome. The waist was too big so I exchanged them for the next size smaller - waist is now perfect but they are too tight in side of the hips, the lower thighs, and the groin.

SG east divide pants - tried them on in the store and liked the way they fit and look, but the fabric feels like it isn't real durable, and reviews complain about that as well.


Maybe Kuhl Resistor Lite Chino Klassik? I see Wrangler makes a 5-pocket pant - might try that one? Some Eddie Bauers? Any other suggestions?

If you have access: Sams $15
I prefer the Weatherproof brand but several versions have leg pockets. Seem to have more options in store than online. I've found them to be more durable than 5-pocket Wrangler's but the Wrangler's I have are thinner/cooler.

The weatherproof are my favorite of all those similar type pants, but are hard to find. I wish I woulda bought five pairs when I discovered them.

I came here to say the Sams pants too lol. I like the Denali travel performance pants. They fit me pretty well, but I’m kinda a skinny guy. My wife says they look good and one of our close friends has commented multiple times that they’re nice pants. My work is pretty chill on dress code, but I’ve worn them to work a decent amount and seem to fit in fine. I like them hunting too since they’re light and dry quickly.

They have pockets but not huge zippered pockets or anything obnoxious but the Kuiu Switchback pants are my office pants and some of the most comfortable and best fitting pants I’ve found. Unlike some of the Kuiu pants that sizes seem to be all over the place for me, these seem true to size.

I like these, you can find them on sale a few places sometimes.

Lately I’ve been running some SG and black ovis pants but I do have a pair of Prana stretch Zion pants they’re amazingly comfortable, I know quite a few guys that wear them in the backcountry too. Integrated belt and no zips.

Not sure of your size but 2 pairs of 33/34 just got posted up for sale on the classified for $100

I live in Kuhl silncrs 90% of the time, they’ve proven durable and they dry quickly.

I've been searching for the perfect every day pant for the last several years and I've found it recently at least for myself. 13th Heaven ridgeline techs.

I've tried several types of Kuhl, couple patagonias, 3 types of mountain khakis, FL, Simms, Carhartt, probably others i'm forgetting and there is always something I dislike. These ridgelines are the first that i've found no problems with. Bought 4 pairs to wear and see how durability goes but i've been wearing about 2 months now and no complaints. Seriously great pants.

I get the wranglers and the weatherproofs on Amazon.

Banana Republic chinos. Lots of different fits and styles. Fairly expensive but they really last a long time and go on sale often.

Bought a pair of these on your recommendation. Seems like they are well built, fit well, and look good. Pricey for what they are, but what isn't these days?

Dont rule Columbia out. My fav pair of dress casual are dark khaki lightweight and I like their belt loops (thick almost triple loops in the back) which some of these pants mentioned are seriously lacking in.

They're cheaper than any of the other brands I listed besides carhartt. As long as durability holds up, I think they are priced very competitively.

Those look nice, but too many seams on the legs. They look more “rugged” than office/date pants.

I bought a pair of Dockers Airweave Chinos since the looked pretty nice. They are a little dressier than what I’m wanting, but they may take the place of slacks for me at work.

Found a pair of the weatherproofs and they are pretty great, but had to order a longer size. My internet research tells me people don’t like the newer style ones as much as the old ones, and luckily I was able to get a pair of the old ones, but they aren’t easy to find! They are almost exactly like the Walmart wranglers, but nicer.

Had a buddy recommend Bylt everyday pants, and they look promising, but he tells me to wait for a 30% off sale..

The tractor supply Ridgecut work pant is similar and is $40, goes on sale for $27 or $28 periodically. I believe they have a canvas one, but I am referring to the synthetic version. Anyway, another one to consider.

Costco has the weatherproof pants (simlar to the wranglers but without the leg pockets.)
