Decent cargo pants that aren't baggy, but...
This is my 4th pair of Carhartt WIP Aviation pants. They're pretty decent and well made--no complaints there. One word to note is that they run big, so you might want to size down. I ordered a 30-32, but I'm nowhere near a 30" waist. I'm nowhere near a 32" waist either, for that matter, but that one is definitely too big for me. My main gripes, however, are just two small ones. Gripe the first: The waist tabs are useless. They might as well not even bother putting them on the pants. Gripe the second: The taper is a little too aggressive. I don't mind a slight taper, but this turns pretty skinny at the calf and ankle. Other than that, I quite like them. They're my summer pant of choice. (Can you tell? I've bought four now.)
