Review on Savane Men'S Pleated Performance Chino Pant by Jared Winebrenner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worth the money and will buy more

I used to buy Savane trousers all the time. Savanes were the only ones I wore, from khakis to dress pants. I stopped wearing them because I could not find them in any of the local stores. I saw these on revain and decided to give them a try. I have not had good experiences buying trousers on line, but I figured what the heck, I could send them back and I am a fan of Savane.Overall I am pleased and they are about what I expected based on the reviews I read. The reason for only 4 stars will be explained in a bit.Firstly, I need a 31" inseam which are almost impossible to find. So for nice dress slacks I have to buy 32" and have them tailored. If I buy 30" inseam, I mostly walk around looking like I am expecting a flood. I buy the 30" khakis for my golf attire as sometimes it is better to not have the pants dragging through the wet grass. Besides, I am not going to pay to have khakis tailored.These Savane pants I ordered were 30" and as other reviews warned they were long. At least 31", but I do not think they were 32". So if you choose to purchase assume they will be longer than what they are stated.The waist is usually a problem for me as well. I am in between sizes there too, but given shrinkage, and sizing inconsistencies I usually go bigger. I would say the waist size was exactly spot on to the stated size. I am going to buy another pair next size down and see what happens. These are actually a little big in the waste, but okay. The fit in the tush is fine, not too baggy and yet plenty of room and comfortable.These will be fine for golfing.The reason for the 4 stars is that they are not quite wear ready after coming out of the dryer. They are okay for golf, but for a social event they would have to be touched up with an iron, which is really not my thing. When I received them they were horribly wrinkled in the package, I was concerned because I have bought other pants from revain they were packaged the same way and were horribly wrinkled. One pair I bought was so bad that even after washing, drying, drying again on steam mode and ironing they never looked good and still had noticeable creases in them in all the wrong placesSo, to some extent the after wash condition may be attributable to packaging and shipping, and not a function of Savane's craftsmanship.Overall, a good buy. I am satisfied and will buy more.

Pros
  • The pants are perfect for year-round wear
Cons
  • Can be too formal for some casual occasions
