Guys: Can you recommend cool work slacks that aren't Dockers?
Edited on Mon Feb-20-06 07:34 PM by Stevendsmith
I know, strange request, but I'm sick of wearing Dockers khakis. Are there any brands of work (office) slacks that aren't so dweebish?

2. Old Navy, The Gap, or Banana Republic
I like flat fronted khakis.

8. I'm a flat front guy too...
and most of my work pants are from Old Navy. Decent looking pants for very affordable prices.

6. Perry Ellis makes some comfy pants, and
a good deal of their stuff (last I checked) was still made in the USA.

Plus, his name drops in GQ and Details all the time, so it sounds like you have fashion sense by buying it.

9. I think Gary Player khaki slacks are the best I've worn.
They're pleated, and I guess you don't like that, but they fit well, are comfortable, and look terrific. I've got a khaki pair and an olive-drab pair and I love them.

10. Why are you asking the men? Do yourself a favor...ask the wives.
Yes, it's rather gender biased...bleah bleah bleah.

But, here's my answer:

Land's End.

Many styles...can't wrinkle them.

13. I second Land's End.
All of their apparel is pretty great.

Also, Columbia Sportswear makes some nice work pants. Look at www.cabelas.com.
