Loose Fit Pants

[Roisto]

Billow, Billow Tapered and the skate chino all are great. I’m not a die hard but Volcom is one of those brands that I don’t get why they get shit on when they check all the boxes of supporting skateboarding and good quality product. They definitely do some wack shit but I think every brand does to some extent? Vans, Nike, Dickies especially, Levi’s, etc. all have cool factor but do some kook moves too.

Maybe it’s because they used to be much cooler. Now they’re just a corpo company which is doing cool & kooky stuff and has a cool legacy.

It took me a long time to accept that it’s not the same thing anymore what I was excited about in the 90s. I’m still not over them 100% cuz I like a lot of their stuff and they haven’t fully kooked themselves.

looking for any recs on good quality sweatpants, straight leg open hem (no elastic cuffs), leg wide enough to fit over hockey shinguards. having a hard time finding anything that isn’t tapered or jogger style.

Are all the surf pants a bit short length wise? All the photos I see are different. I'm 5" 11" for reference.

Get the tall ones unless you prefer a highwater look.

Dunno if the Louie pants are somehow different but I’ve had probably 20 pairs of Volcom jeans and pants and all of them except one pair of chinos have been 2” sizes bigger than the labeled size. I’d say that they’re even slightly bigger the the Polar 93s that I bought a few years ago. Unfortunately these days so many brands have “vanity sizing” that it can be difficult to know what your real size actually is. I’m
Pretty sure my real size is 32” even though most of my pants are 30”, some even 29”.

whats good with volcom 'billow' jeans... Are they like big boys or what?

[close]

In between 93s and Big Boys. I actually posted a comparison with Billows and 93s in this thread with pics some 1.5 years back. I like them. The pockets aren’t deep enough though.

I would say the BILLOW "TAPERED" fit like the 93' ! Except for the fucking little pockets that can't even hold a phone bigger than an iphone 3G...
But the rest is good, fit and quality wise.

What is it will some apparel makers? Do they design all their pockets for carnies?

Yeah I don't get it... Like if you wear the billow and have a phone in your pocket and your keys in the other one (don't even bother me telling me to put my keys on the lace belt I don't wear EMERICAs) you can't even sit on a chair. And if you put your wallet in the back pocket you feel like you got a broom up the ass

I’m 5’11” and wear surf pants in size L, not the tall ones, and they’re long enough to stack, or sit comfortably on your shoes with a double cuff

What sort of situations require you to wear sweats and hockey shin guards?

Re: Billows, would recommend, get on sale.  Yes, the pockets are tiny…..buy a vest.

around where i live there are parks with boarded off areas filled with ice called "rinks"...

volcom billows? not seeing a sweatpant/fleece version of those. the leg width does seem more than adequate though.

even better... buy from a skate shop. Shops should always be the first stop for anything skate related. Vest is a nice touch, though.

Fair enough. I'm 6' and size M tall ones sit comfortably uncuffed.

A lot of Butter Goods pants go up to size 42, including the Santosuosso jeans, which sound like what you're looking for. The Butter site only has a couple of styles/colours in stock in them right now (if you're in the US), but they make those every season, so I'd just keep an eye out for when they restock.

There's also these ones from Gap, which are a similar fit, almost $100 cheaper, and go up to 42 as well.

The Empyre ones from Zumiez go up to 44, and come in a lot of fabric/colour options.

Also worth noting that the vanity sizing on Butter goods is ridiculous, especially the santosuosso. My size 32” fit closer to 36” so a size 36 or 38 should be good if you’re 40” but maybe try em on first if possible

Definetly on the larger side!

i have two of the washed indigo phillys in 32 wich is definetly more a 34. Cromer had them on sale on his insta and the 32s measure 35 according to him. still really good fitting jeans!

Anyone here have Dickies cords? Wondering if you have to size up in the waist like their chinos.

I have 2 pairs of the Frankie Dickies cords, so take my words with a grain of salt in case their regular cords fit differently. Both are 34s, although one is slightly tighter around the waist than the other. Both are a little wider than I would expect a 34 to be though, so I wouldn't size up on those.

That's smart to try both. I ended up just sizing up to see how it goes. I feel like Dickies are never particularly baggy so even if the waist is too big I don't mind just wearing a belt.

Found out that the new Levi’s silvertabs do come in my length so I tried some out at the outlet. I really like the fit of them. It’s a perfect loose fit. Not too baggy but also not a relaxed fit. Denim quality is pretty decent. Only downside is the pockets are not as big as I’d like them but definitely not the worst. I ended up picking up all three colors they had because it was 50% off. Solid recommend for some affordable loose pants

[Maladjusted]

Does any kind soul happen to have a fit pic of the Polar 44s?

I've never tried them on, but they look weird in all the photos I see online and someone mentioned in this thread that they're "baggy in all the wrong places".

Desperately looking for dark brown chino pants, but hesitant to pull the trigger on those. Cheers

I don't have a fit pic and I sold my pair, but I can assure that they are very baggy compared to Polar 93's. From what I recall, it's a very wide cut and doesn't taper much so they look insane especially if you're a shorter guy

I tried them on a while ago, and can confirm the wide leg. I thought the top half fit similar to '93s, but there's no taper in the legs at all. They're borderline Kim Jong Un pants.

Got a pair of these for xmas and really enjoying them. Wicked comfortable and good to skate in

[Huell Howser]

Gramicci’s are comfortable as hell^

Any tried any carthartt jeans(non WIP/not canvas either)? seems like they’re more relaxed fit and less loose but trying to not spend a lot

Ordered a pair of Levi’s 550 92 tapered because they looked like they’d be a nice fit sized up from pics I’ve seen online. They taper way too much and are hardly even relaxed fit haha. Returning em asap

[Fartknocker415]

Gramiccis look fire
