OC Pleated Slacks
 
Anyone order a new pair of the OC Black Pleated Slacks this season from Officials Choice? I'm wondering if you noticed that the pant legs do not have a slight taper. Instead they're a "straight" cut and excessively wide and quite elegant and "airy". Ended up taking mine to a tailor to put a slight taper in the pant legs from the knee down before they were wearable.

Beware....if you were thinking about ordering! Reason I didn't return was because it's easier & cheaper for me to have the pant legs altered....rather than deal with a "crap shoot" on how long it takes OC to make good. :(

Personally, I'd stick with the sansabelts. Haven't worn any of the other brands, but I've heards from many that they just aren't as good.

I have a pair of both - both brands are fine and have now stood up to two seasons of pretty heavy wear.

I prefer Smitty brand slacks. They use the Sansabelt waist, but the rest of the pants are made with a somewhat lighter material which I think makes them more comfortable.

I bought a couple of pairs of these.

As previous reviewers have reported:
Tighter in the waist than Sansabelts
Less taper in the legs -- more 'billowy'
Lighter weight fabric.

They run about 2 inches off. If you were a 36 order a 38
