Review on Men'S Linen Capri Pants With Elastic Waist, Wide Leg, And Relaxed Fit by Tim Burns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great alternative type of pant, but also pay attention to the sizing

I own several pairs of the same pant (black, with red/orange Koi fish, on the left front). The material had a nice quality thickness, without being heavy. Good front pockets, a drawstring tie in the front, combined with an elastic waistband. The pockets in the back, are OPPOSITE than other pants . they hang on the outside of the pants. No big deal, but it looks a bit 'different'. But then again, the whole concept of these pants, is a bit different, especially for guys. But I also wear most of my shorts, with my shirt untucked, so the back pockets are hardly ever seen. I also wear sandals all the time, so these look cool, with that type of look. I don't think I'd pair them up with sneakers, as that 'look' might not look right (just my opinion. YMMV). The reason I chose this style, out of all the colors they offered, was due to being a really dark black, and the brightly colored Koi fish on the front. The fish is a very nice quality, embroidery, not expected on a $20-$25 pair of pants. I was impressed.The bottoms hit me about 1/2 way up my calf. I'm 5'9", with a 35"-36" waist. I settled on the Medium size, after starting off with a Small (I know, crazy sizing). If you have really big calves, the bottoms might not fit you well. Pay attention to sizing.At first, I thought these might look kind of weird, on a guy. But then I realized, paired up with the right combo of shirt and footwear, it could actually look good. Kind of a 'beach-type look'. But for some guys, they might not have the confidence 'to rock it'. It works well for me, and it's a change of pace from my normal 'shorts and sandals' routine.Also, keep an eye on the sizes and pricing. There was a small difference between the price on the Small and Medium. Some weeks the Small sold for around $20, and NO shipping cost (with a Prime account). Other weeks, it would be around $26, plus $12.95 for the SAME pair. So be patient, and wait till the price stays low.

Pros
  • Can easily be dressed up or down depending on the desired look
Cons
  • The relaxed fit may not be suitable for individuals with a formal wardrobe
