Most Helpful Favorable Review

I purchased these pants for my 16 year old son for school. He was very pleased with the look and I was pleased with the fit, price and quality. These pants are great for school, but also for work and any social event that is not "formal". The only "negative" is that they seemed a teenie bit short for...

Most Helpful Critical Review

When I first purchased these cargo pants, I was very happy with what i had.  A good, tough pair of pants, with the pockets I wanted and if I tore them up in the workshop, no big deal.  Anyone who knows me will tell you that these cargo apnts are what i wear day to day.

Since then, the second pocket...

Roomy and look great

They look great and are clearly cut with the big man in mind, rather than many other "big & tall" pants being just larger cuts of regular/slim man pants.  There is also plenty of room in the crotch - a major detail that is forgotten on men's pants of any size especially flat fronts.  These are the opposite of the dreaded "cheap motel"/emo pants we all hate.

I would say the waist & inseam size runs a tiny bit large, which is a good thing since they might shrink like all cotton will.  The fabric isn't too heavy or too thin either.

Buttons instead of velcro would be a nice detail to add.  My pants...

Great buy, Easy care

really good pants

I have two sons, 17 and 18 years old. I have been purchasing these pants for years now. I recommend them to anyone with a larger frame. It is difficult to find quality pants, at a decent price in the large sizes that my boys wear. I am with the others on this review, the button on the waist does wear rather quickly, but a very easy fix. These are the only kind of pants that my youngest will wear. BUY, BUY, BUY a pair and I am sure you will like them!

These pants are very comfortable pants I have ever worn. The many pockets come in very handy. Real great buy!

I love them.  I bought them for work insted of jeans, but after I put them on, they looked and felt so good that I decided I would buy jeans for work and keep these for dress.  I bought 3 pair and I will buy more.  It this price I can not go wrong.

Thank you K-Mart.

seem well made. legs are nice and straight, no taper, great if you have larger calves. yes, the velcro is too strong, but it's so loud when you open it, at least you can't be pickpocketed. I really like the small open pocket on the right thigh cargo pocket as it's great for a cell phone and a pen that you can reach even while sitting down.

I Love These Pants....

I'm a man with large thighs and a wide waist. Its hard to find pants that fit and feel good. I teach auto tech so I wear a lot of Dickies and Cintas apparel but those pants don't breath or give you much room in the inseam. I bought two pair of the cargo pants and I'm going to buy a couple more. I just wish they came in darker colors for the days when I'm actually in the shop and not the classroom. For now I'll just have to save the olive pants for the shop. There are some negative comments on here about the velcro....I'm a big boy...the velcro doesn't bother me....LOL. Thank you Basic Editions... read full review »

Good for the Price

I have bought several pairs, and feel like they hold up well. My only knock is the cheap waist button. Almost every pair the button breaks, and I see through these reviews that is a common issue. Luckily the fix is simple.

Half way to excellent

Definitely come handy, with extra pocket space and comfortable feeling wearing it. Wear and tear pretty fast. Overpriced. Range of $9 more likely fits the product. You can go with or without it!

These cargos are great for a big guy. I wear a 32x48 so I have a hard time finding khakis or cargos at all. These fit wonderfully. There were two issues that I did have. One set that I bought said 32x48 on the outside tags, but I discovered when I got home that in the back of the pants they turned out to be a 30x48 so I had to exchange them for the right ones. The major issue I have with these is the button. It is so weak that it breaks off after two weeks. The holes in the button where they sew it on are to close together that it makes the center break out. I just bought some high quality buttons... read full review »

these pants are the best. every one has a favorite outfit and so do i the only thing is, is that once i find a favorite outfit i get 12 copies of it. Ok my story is over now these pants are my favorite i have about 25 pairs of pants and I've been wearing them since 7th grade. each cargo pocket can hold two water bottles and there is a spot for my phone my wallet my keys my pens and just about anything i want to carry. i love these pants and wont stop wearing them.

comfy!

The pants are comfy and definitly a nicer alternative to bluejeans when your in a retail sales enviroment. Just don't plan on an extended time for them to actually ship.

good pants

Good pants. Comfortable, roomy, tough. Good price. The velcro on wallet pocket is a little strong and takes getting used to but I feel like I'll never get pickpocketed. I have 5 pairs.
