Heavy twill fabric

Fit is good, wish they were a little looser around the hip/thigh area. What I don't like about them is the fabric is a heavy twill, they look like corduroy. I prefer their other chino fabric with a much finer twill. Will be returning these for that reason.

Major Drop in Quality Compared to Mason Chinos

I've been buying Banana Republic Mason Athletic Fit chinos consistently every year for the past 5 years, and the Athletic Italian-Stretch Chino is a dramatic step down in quality. These are nowhere near the same tier of product. The fabric hand feel is noticeably inferior right out of the package. I...

The pants are generally nice but the button started falling off after two wears. Be prepared for quality concerns.

First pair of chinos I've ever owned that just fit! I'm a stocky guy with thick legs and caboose, and the "athletic" fit is perfect.

These are the best pants that I own. I went back and bought a second pair. I will probably buy a third.

I've been buying Banana Republic Mason Athletic Fit chinos consistently every year for the past 5 years, and the Athletic Italian-Stretch Chino is a dramatic step down in quality. These are nowhere near the same tier of product. The fabric hand feel is noticeably inferior right out of the package. It feels cheaper, less substantial, and far less refined than the Mason chinos I've relied on for work. Worse, these pants pile far too quickly and stretch out much more than they should, which makes them look sloppy after very little wear. I cannot wear these to work the way I did the Mason chinos, because they simply do not hold their shape or present well enough. What used to feel like a polished, dependable wardrobe staple now feels like a watered-down imitation made to lower standards. Honestly, I'm amazed at all the other incredibly positive reviews, because my experience has been the complete opposite. This is a one-star product, and it reflects a broader and very disappointing decline in Banana Republic's quality. The constant degrading of quality has been unsatisfactory and not worth the hassle. This is the last time I'd buy stuff at Banana Republic.

Well made pants, athletic cut allows extra thigh room. Detailed stitching, waistband and zipper all well finished. Will buy again
