Any cheap loose fitting pants I should look into? Preferably chino/twill or something, not necessarily jeans?
Not really focused on aesthetic, more so a comfortable pair of skate pants.
I've got some Altamont pants several years ago in a size too big and they are so comfortable skating. I think I got them on clearance for like $10.
Nothing as cheap as $10, but I don't think you can beat dickies for value. Loose fit cargos are $30 and $35 double knees. After a couple of washes they're super soft/comfortable.
I'll check those out thanks. I got some Dickies a couple years ago that were great, but their standard work pants are way too strange feeling for me.
If I remember, buying directly from their site, they usually have some discount running nonstop. You can get a lot of their pants for even cheaper directly through them.
Yeah they constantly have discounts, and usually your order will come with a 20% coupon as well. Plus free shipping and returns. If I'm ordering a new fit I'm unsure about, I'll order 2-3 sizes and return the wrong ones.
The initial starchiness of dickies can definitely be weird, you just have to commit to softening them. I've heard of people putting them in the drier with tennis balls or old wheels for a couple of cycles to beat the stiffness out of them. I've even heard that people drag them behind their car, though I'm not sure if I believe that. But once you get past that starchy feeling, I think they feel amazing. Super soft, almost like scrubs or something.
