White chinos tend to be a classic style that fads in and out.  I'm 5'10 and 170 and "slightly" athletic through the legs and this 32x32 fits well.  They are a little snug through the front and the waist is a tad loose but with a belt they're fine and without a belt they're pretty good.  The rise is good and doesn't feel too tight or crowded and they sit a little below the waist bot not as lows as  the hips.  Although these are a straight fit, the thighs are cut a little big so they don't hug the thighs nor do they flair below the knees.  I suppose I could get them tailored to take an inch of fabric out the legs if I wanted  slimmer, more european tailored look.  The length is good- 32" inseam is long on me, so I know that going in.  A 30"  always tends to be too short- I have to get things tailored to 31" for a better fit.  I can only comment on the length to say the 32" is "true" to size and not running either long or short for a 32".

The color- I don't consider them "stark" white but others might. I can't believe anyone would consider them cream or ecru.  Seasalt  seems to be a good description of the hue.

If you get them a lot cheaper $36- they're a steal.

Hope this helps
