Guys, I really need help. I've hit a growth spurt and I'm now wearing high watter Indy pants, my LL Bean Chinos are too short! So I went to get some more when I discovered that all of their pants were either a 30 inch waist (no way I'll get in that) or didn't come in taupe! Any help you can give me on where I can get a good looking pair of pants without breaking the bank will save me for sure! I would buy some Noel Howards, but I just don't have the money to spend on them right now.
It wouldn't look good for a gear head running around in nothing but boxers now would it?
Cabinet man, thanks for the link, I consider those as well, and I think I will go with them. Really is sad that they went out of stock with the good kind, I love those pants. Well, fortunatly I discovered I had a hem in them, so I am going to let out the hem and have a pair for a few more months, or atleast until they get some more back in stock. I'm going to hold back for right now, see what happens, call LL Bean and see if they expect to get more of the originals any time soon.
Thanks guys for your help! I really appreciate it!
You are looking at the Double L Chinos. I purchase the Dress Chinos in Taupe, no cuff, Natural Fit, Wrinkle Resistant Cotton. They have them in sizes 30-46. And inseams from 26-36 inches
Try Nordstrom. The Facconable Men's Chinos come with two rear pocket
flaps and come unhemmed. They are excellent quality and are in the
same price range as the LL Bean Catalog ones with
shipping.
I actually bought two pair at Old Navy yesterday for 22 bucks each. They are made roomy in the leg and have the exact look from the Streets of Cairo scene. They even had the flaps on the back pockets. Only problem was they were a little light color for my liking, so I bought some brown and red rit liquid dye and with the right mixing of colors I'm more than happy with them now.

The pants I got were from the Gap (women's section), and I'm really happy with the color. There are no pockets, but I'm guessing they might have other pants in the men's section that color. 42% wool/54% polyester/4% lyra spandex. Made in Morocco.
Here's a pic below...you can see how close in color they are to Minnesota Jone's pants. I'm not sure if he's wearing NH or LLBean pants. But if there are any ladies out there that want a good pair in a close enough color and style, then here you go. (TAG INFO: Classic Fit Trouser Stretch - V/308287, Fall 02, S/155228)
What I like about them is they are slightly boot cut so the boots don't look too gigantic on me.
I would also recommend the GAP, "Gap Khaki Loose Fit" they are the old style and have been on sale for some time, they might still have some at a local store. They have a wide leg opening, and back flap pcokets, the color is just a bit light. I also own the Old Navy pants referred to above, they are somewhat loos also, (which is the way I like it) and have back flaps, check the website, they were on sale for a while too. The old navy pants are called "Mens Relaxed Khakis".... http://www.oldnavy.com/asp/Product.asp? ... pid=139579

Yes....These are the ones I bought also, sorry I threw the label away so I couldn't remember the name. I redyed mine though to give them the "officer pinks" look and then dulled them out in a very light wash of black ink. They look really good, as soon as I can get a pic I'll try to post one

I have one pair in each of the colors they offer excpet stone. They are really comfortable. The only thing that is off Indy-wise is they don't have the pleated front.
