I purchased a pair of EC1 slim chinos at a high end overstock store about a year ago. They are some of my favorite pants and garner ample compliments.

The shipment of EC1 slim's that I received from Amazon are "Slim Fit ****STRETCH****" Chinos. They feel more comfortable, much less durable, and most importantly, fit much larger than the "normal" EC1 slim's. They do not shrink in the wash, so it's not a purposely-oversized deal, either.

If you purchase these, be aware that either amazon is shipping two different types of pants, or you will be getting something different than you expect. I would even suggest sizing-down your waist by 1 size.

Otherwise, if the pants are what you expect as described in my post, they are nice. (I kept the green ones I ordered, sent the rest back.)

3/5 for misleading advertisement.
