BR just launched a new rapid movement chino that's supposed to be more flexible and durable. Anyone get the chance to try it? It's priced at a whopping 98 bucks but of course there's a 40% off deal, so I'm a bit hesitant to pull the trigger.
Their original chino was already pretty flexible I thought (even the Fulton fit) so I'm not quite sure what they're going for?

I know these pants are one of the most recommended items on this sub. I love them too, but am super confused about the sizing.
I thought I had outgrown my pair, which are now a bit tight in the waist and noticeably short on length, especially because when I bought a couple pairs in the same size used, they were even more tight and short.
However, in store, when I tried on some new, unworn pairs, my original size is perfect. This makes me think that I have not, in fact, outgrown them, and they just shrink a decent amount over time.
Does anyone have any experience with this? How should I combat this? Buy a size or two up and wash them normally? Avoid drying at all? Any input?
I know they are popular pants but didn't find a ton of clear info searching on this.
These are prob my favorite chinos. Def worth trying out if you are looking for a comfortable pair.

It looks like the Mason Athletic-Fit Chino that BR used to carry has been discontinued, which is unfortunate because they were near-perfect for me.
Is the Athletic Rapid Movement Chino the same thing? The website seems to be directing me that way, but I'm not sure they are the same. The price point is slightly different (the Mason was $125 and the Rapid Movement is $100).
Anyone know?
