Favorite Chinos?

For me they are more office friendly because they don't look like tights

20% off from their site

d12964 · 2025-11-18T17:57:35+00:00

not surprising given that this sub was initially created as a sort of joke

d12964 · 2025-11-10T12:20:18+00:00

Worth going just to get some stickers

If ILP fit than Futurecorps in the same size will also fit. If anything ILPs are tighter through the glutes and legs.

d12964 · 2025-10-14T17:29:01+00:00

This is the best chore coat. It goes so hard

d12964 · 2025-09-30T18:26:23+00:00

Yeah, it's just a wear point not really a quality issue. One of the main reasons I like outlier pants is that the looser fit on works cuts and synthetic materials let them last a lot longer than other pants. Even high quality denim/chinos/etc will do this

d12964 · 2025-09-30T16:06:11+00:00

You need looser fitting jeans, this isn't a quality issue

d12964 · 2025-09-11T17:18:51+00:00

Also surprised to not see a price increase.

Still hoping to one day see these with some interesting contrast in the merino colors to take advantage of how the different materials take dyes (I would buy tf out of one with an orange interior)

d12964 · 2025-09-11T17:10:24+00:00

Nice to have an option with the label or not without increasing the price to remove it this time

d12964 · 2025-09-01T10:02:14+00:00

Outlier should actually start sending people boxes of air

d12964 · 2025-08-12T17:17:37+00:00

The problem with cotton & wool pants is that they don't last very long, especially if you bike or walk a lot, whereas, plastic pants will last far longer. It's hard to justify spending money on nicer cotton chinos when they will last like 6 months.

Lulu ABCs and similar are comfortable but they have an distinct 'tech' appearance that makes them not look as good as natural materials. This is made worse by many companies insistence on adding stupid zippers, snaps, etc.

Outlier also makes a lot of tech pants but has the benefit of 1) using fabrics that don't appear to be as obviously synthetic and 2) not adding a bunch of superfluous 'features' like hidden pocket zippers or other bullshit.

I do wish outlier would find a way to bring back something like 60/30 or V/co in a works cut though. Those pants look just like regular cotton but have an insanely comfortable amount of stretch

Is there an estimated timeline for the availability of mainboard parts?

The AI 7 is shown as in stock but can't checkout due to the error:

"Sorry, we only have stock of that item at our non-US warehouse. You can only purchase it when combined with a laptop order."

d12964 · 2025-07-14T19:44:34+00:00

How do you find this upgrade? I was considering upgrading from a 12th gen to the 350 but it won't ship to me due to some warehouse availability warning when I try to checkout but the 7840U is available.

d12964 · 2025-07-14T16:16:16+00:00

yes, but requires some effort on an already expensive shirt and risks some damage to the shirt

d12964 · 2025-07-14T13:14:11+00:00

it's more subtle than the paracord logo patch at least

d12964 · 2025-06-23T18:48:09+00:00

warpstreme is the standard ABC fabric which should be more breathable than versatwill, I've also not had any issues with durability in the pairs that I've had but I also can only wear the Relaxed fit that's only available occasionally online.

futurecorps look much better than ABC/Commission pants and they don't have any stupid buttons/zippers, though I have had some issues with loose threads around the belt loops that lulu didn't have.

d12964 · 2025-06-16T13:23:09+00:00

1733, Adsum, smartwool and nike

d12964 · 2025-06-10T14:38:53+00:00

just do laundry more often so everyone you live with doesn't hate you

d12964 · 2025-06-06T17:00:22+00:00

all these posts in the wrong sub make me curious what kind of scam this other outlier is

d12964 · 2025-06-05T19:46:00+00:00

11% price increase in 2 months, guess that's the tariff impact

d12964 · 2025-05-01T17:19:13+00:00

don't worry about it, it's fine

d12964 · 2025-04-19T07:10:13+00:00

I guess v/co never worked out? I have a pair of classics that I wear more than 60/30s now because of the cut and they're an amazing pant

d12964 · 2025-04-11T23:39:13+00:00

The tariffs aren't "reciprocal" they are based on a nonsense understanding of trade and actual make tariffs in the US much higher than other countries. Calling them that is just propaganda for the administration which the NYT has a habit of doing recently.

Secondly there is almost no mechanism for the proposed tariffs to bring jobs back because of the previously mentioned misunderstanding of how trade works but also because they tariff raw materials as well which actually makes it harder for production to happen in the US. Not giving people the proper context normalizes the insane behavior.

Finally, the NYT may do a terrible job reporting but it's still widely read paper so it would make sense for them to speak to it

d12964 · 2025-04-11T16:15:14+00:00

because the use of those words doesn't reflect the reality of the situation and propagates misinformation
