In Comparison…

[octothorpe]

Keep in mind, this pic was taken in my office, after a commute on the train, so they're not as crisp and fresh as the just-out-of-the-box Bonobos from last night. I'm also wearing shoes, and a belt which slightly changes the shape of the drape.

Also note the fitted-but-not-constraining nature of the leg. That's the key.

That is a much more relaxed looking fit, I am not having any luck with pressed pants surviving the ride to the office on the motorbike :)

These admittedly look nicer, but I had no objection to the gratuitous bulge-displaying nature of the others.

With the pics to compare, the disparity between what the Bonobos advertise vs. what they deliver is that much more striking. :o(

Dumb pants-maker-dumbheads... :o(

To their credit, they're nice folk, and they have a wonderful return policy =)

They also carry other manufacturer's stuff on their website.

[[nods]] The returns policy is the sign of a good business, imho... :o)

And hopefully you can find something that meets your needs someplace soon... Would hate to think of you going...pantsless... @_@

Oh wait. No. I'd like that. Nevermind. ;o)

You know what it is? It's a fit of a smaller person sized up for a bigger person. So, the pattern is not an ideal one for you to begin with. You need a pattern for YOUR BUILD.

Your pants should sit a little lower than these, even if these are better than the ones in the previous post.

Khakis don't have to be fresh. That's why they're khakis.

I'm beginning to see the real dilemma of the fashion-conscious big boy (big, NOT fat. That's a different story).

But there are some big boys in adorable outfits up and down Chelsea? There are places you can get things for yourself. But I can see why you need custom for some things.

No worries. Save your money. I'm coming soon! :-,())

Yeah, spot on.

Pants? Uh, you're wearing something? (pardon me, while I get back to my early-morning fantasy)
