The "loose" designation is terribly misleading. I'm a rather thin guy (30x34) and these cargos are super tight around the thighs...

I have worn Levi's forever, but lately their cuts/fits have gotten stranger, their denim has gotten so thin as to be more like slacks than jeans, and their quality control has become non-existent such that same size and style pant can actually vary by inches depending on the color wash. That said, Amazon was having a sale and I thought I'd give these loose fit cargos a try.

I understand tighter-fit pants are the style now and I do own several pairs of slim fit jeans, but I wanted cargos that were roomy, as they are more for function than for style. And with the name "Loose Cargo Pants" I took Levi's at their word and assumed these were actually loose, similar to their loose fit jeans. Instead, these fit like skinny jeans in the thighs. The waist and inseam were true to size, though.

There's nothing wrong with a tighter style if that's what you want. But my cargos are for function, and need to be loose and roomy to accommodate a lot of bending and moving. Calling these "loose" is misleading. I have returned these to Amazon and have purchased another brand.
