Waist

Curved waist band for better fit and no bunching of fabric

Rise

Medium rise, with some magic in the seat to be comfortable but not frumpy

Thigh

Flattering cut is neither too tight nor too loose

Inseam

Our pants come with a longer inseam than most guys need—34" for waist sizes up to 33, 36" for waist sizes 34 and above. We know that hemming is an extra step, but it is one that we believe is important for pants that break perfectly over your shoes.

Finish

Bonobos signature boot cut offers a slightly wider leg opening for the perfect finish to your trousers

Fabric

Lightweight striped cotton

Color

Navy and white stripes with a red pin stripe

Every once in awhile a company comes along and reinvents a product that has been mired in tradition and perhaps ossified a bit. Rollerblade crushed the roller skate market. Minivans nearly exterminated our (preferred) old friend the club van (think Mystery Machine, and 7 MPG). Back when we were young kids, squirt guns were awful. Then some genius came up with the super soaker, a massive improvement on forced water stream weaponry. Twenty pumps, a lot of adrenaline, and a laser like gushing stream of aqua offense.

This summer we're doing the same thing for seersucker. Tired of frumpy cuts, banker/diaper butt, and tapered legs, we are bringing our better fit to this languishing category. First, we found a better fabric - it's even lighter than your standard seersucker, cooler in the heat, and it comes in a fresh navy and white with red pin stripe. We add our trademark better fitting better looking pattern and a pink zipper and cross stitch as a nod to its pastel ancestors. That's about the only thing you'll recognize from the old days.
