C build looks really good here on your frame. The A build looks too tight, like the stretch of the fabric is activated even at a normal standing position. That makes it look a little unnatural.

[@RewriteTheCode]

Keep up the great work brother. So many of us truly appreciate the work that you put into your videos. You are definitely by far my favorite men’s fashion/style channel.

[@SeanShimamoto]

Thanks for the tips...I’m gonna employ them when I pick up new Chinos after the New Year. BTW, I was watching your old videos and I just wanted to applaud your physique changes! Your quadriceps, deltoids, pectorals, and gluteals are markedly improved. Keep it up, Gent! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@iamtatzo]

First time chatting on your vids and I gotta say I'm enjoying your content. Very knowledgeable and detailed. I also just subscribed to your podcast on Google Play. Looking foward to my week with you.

[@jodyjoyner4849]

Awesome video, Jon, as always! I got a pair spoke bulletproofs based upon your performance chino review and I absolutely love them. The different builds are what sets them apart for me. I have big thighs and a pretty ample seat and the ‘c’ build gives me the room to maneuver that I need. Even got a second pair not long ago...a great brand!

[@PapaCowboySr]

Just received my first order yesterday. I'm 5"7 and 150. Slim build. Bought the Heroes in the slim fit and they are an amazing chino. The quality is evident. I do want to try the B fit to see if they might work better for me. I matched them up to my J Crews and the Spokes at least for now, look like they out do He Crew in fabric quality. Only time will tell. Customer service is amazing!!!!

[@non-sequitur]

Thanks, this was very helpful. I kind of understood the A/B/C sizing and you helped clarify. I was mostly confused about the style variety - looks like I'll probably pick up some Heroes and Bulletproofs. The Sharps might be a little too fancy for my needs

[@stevenwright7290]

Great video, and a great brand. Thanks

[@MatthewBlackwell1015]

Thanks for this info, but I can't understand fabrics so thin and fits so tight that you can see the pocket fabric when there's nothing in your pockets... Doesn't look professional to me.

[@Garconbleu]

Matthew Blackwell yeah it’s a fit not meant for those of us with some thickness or even the thin guys with some legs on em, but if you’re 6ft plus and sub 175 it’s a look.

[@SilverDreamweaver]

@@Garconbleu My leg's would probably immediately bust through the seams. Me and my "little" brother are built like units, so we'd really appreciate it if more companies adopted stretch fabrics.

[@steveaston1584]

Thank you Sir for a very informative review . 5 star.

[@zachmitchem2801]

195lbs!🦍💪🏼 Love the chinos! Wish they had a D fit. Feel like that might come close to fitting. 😂 Really do wish that though, if you can fit these they are awesome from what I’ve heard!

[@marknewton6255]

Great video Jon. How does the C fit compare to Bonobos athletic fit? They are my go to for the time being.

[@watchGWW]

Bought a pair of Heroes build C - 5 or 6 weeks ago. Really enjoying them but if anything even the C fit is a touch slim; especially around the calves. Fabric and build quality at least initially have been impressive.

[@alexanderzirk7289]

How would you compare these to outlier? Which would you recommend for a two week trip to the UK in August?

[@docloco86]

Hey do the Hardys fit the same as the heroes? I have the heroes and bulletproofs in A build and the heroes are slimmer for sure. Without the elastine I’m curious about the Hardys. Thanks!

[@ejm6122]

Have you reviewed MOUNTAIN KHAKI ? It's a durable chinoi label that ORVIS showcases.

[@daveyoung9218]

They all look great, ive been looking for a good pair that fit better, im a short guy, 5ft 7 so the 28inch leg is what i need ans they do that, i also prefer them on the slimmer fitted size, so after watching your video, im guessing style A would prob be the one to go for in my case

[@894adp]

How much does your pant choice for the day decide on what underwear you wear? I love my chinos but fun I have to be careful so I don’t have brieflines.

[@JAG214]

Can you check out grayers clothing would like to know more about them before buying thing from them

[@rhymanoserous]

I just want to say thank you for not having an autoplay video on your home page.

[@vim1471]

What white sneakers you wearing in this ?

[@maxloyd9682]

Are those crown sneakers ur wearing?

[@grease112]

how do they fit around the balls? I like slim fit pants but they always crunch the balls

[@peterwong9301]

Hi my friend, I don't have which type It suit me. My thin is quit big. Cz I have do lot training sport when I was young. I waist is 28. Can you suggest me which type is suit me. And I prefer use zip.

[@peterwong9301]

I'm slim skinny person

[@Razzzordback]

why chinos alway have this wrinkles on crotch area (whiskers) . Even i have them fit wery well in hips they still there. Its because the rise its too long or some issue with my body shape?. Once my tailor tell me that i have tilted hip and this cause a problem

[@samoht878]

Stockists or direct suppliers

[@locutusdborg126]

I am very skinny. A build, right? I'll order a pair. I have very long legs, do they carry 34 length?

[@The_Kavalier]

Yes these were all 34s. Just what I need! If you want a skinny taper then yes you’re going to want an A build

[@ArtYourMinds]

I really like your style, but pants are the only thing were i think they are too skinny, but in the end it would be a boring world if we are would like the same:)

[@The_Kavalier]

Even the Hardy’s at the end??

[@ArtYourMinds]

The Kavalier i wrote my comment before that part. i like the hardy!

[@Mysterious2887]

Can you wear braces with them?

[@fakedonttrackmevro6629]

I prefer SKU best chinos in my opinion

[@alukardFE]

Why do you see the pockets 😐

[@a97b18b]

On their site their model is wearing Build A and the fit looks totally different on you. Also if their measurements are correct, then build A isn’t even that skinny unless you’re a weight lifter. Maybe I’m just a tooth pick 🤣

[@KingZob33]

Having the same issue as well lol

[@christophersaldana4636]

Use the c build the other ones seem too tight

[@chadm4051]

Appreciate the video, but their fabric looks really low quality to me. There's so many "performance" fabrics now that look bad.

[@markn1090]

I really appreciate the videos, but honestly the pants, they're always WAY too tight, just doesn't look good, when you can see the pockets and the fit looks like a pair of tights or leggings, this isn't a good look for men.

[@Judge_RR]

I knew I was not the only one who thinks this!!!

[@davebutton1811]

Yep, they look ridiculously tight. Even the C fit is not exactly roomy

[@Javi_C]

:)

[@Usmanthemecano]

Waiting for men to start wearing yoga pants... I like my clothes a bit roomier

[@regnier30]

Too skinny

[@DanielJLawson88]

For everyone who complained about the pants being too tight-fitting: this is just staying on-trend with modern, urban men's fashion. This IS the look. We don't need a lot of excess fabric and we don't want to look dated or slouchy. We don't want grandpa pants.
