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.
