BROOKLYN ATHLETICSMen's Cargo Pocket Twill Jogger

What better way to let people you know you living that hipster life than buying joggers from a company called BROOKLYN! All kidding aside, I have been wearing these joggers around once a week for the past month and they are a great addition to my closet.First off with the good stuff. The seat of the pant is perfect, the most important part of a comfortable pant for men. Its not too shallow for the "boys" but not Justin Beiber dropped either. The leg taper is very well done, giving plenty of room through the thighs, while coming in close around the calves to the elastic ankle. The material is a little thick for summer days for me, especially in black, but on cooler days and in the evenings they are the perfect weight.Here come the the caveats. I am a 34x34 in jeans (sometime 34x33 if I want it a little short for high top sneakers) and these pants are perfect at the waist... but SHORT at the ankle. I would say they are like a 34x30! Luckily for me the cropped pant style is "in" right now (at least it is for my style!) so it hasnt bothered me one bit. My OWxNike blazers go great with this outfit and the ankle hits right on top of my sneakers for a cool sneakerhead look. I have also just gone sockless with a pair of old skools and that looks pretty good too showing off some (pale!) skin.Overall: If the cropped length doesnt bother you (or you have shorter inseams) these joggers are an excellent addition to the wardrobe. They are light enough for summer nights, but warm enough for spring and I would guess for autumn as well. Easy to recommend these ones. Get you one!

Excellent quality but a little on the darker side of khaki, bordering almost on tan. Excellent fabric and durability. I wish the pull strings weren't black but my son just tucks them in. These work well for school uniforms. I WOULD like to caution moms buying these for uniform pants - make sure your kids aren't horsing around in them. My son slipped on a wet patch of sidewalk and the crotch seam ripped. They're EXCELLENT quality - I would just say not to expect them to hold up if your kids are super active and such. 10/10 would buy again. AS AN FYI as far as fit and sizing....my son is 5'6" and weighs 225. These fit him very well. They are NOT really slim fit unless your kid is built like Jelly Roll or Caseoh (ask your kids about that second one LOL) but really, I'd rather they be a bit loose. Definitely a great buy no matter what.

Currently, I wear a 38” (38 inches / 38W / 38 W) US waist size pants (went up in size after having major surgery). Originally, I ordered a size x-large (xl / extra large), which fit well (when I was still a 36” waist size) but I needed the pants to be slightly loose for the surgery I had (I couldn’t wear tight or snug fitting clothing, as it would irritate the incision points post-op). I returned the xl’s and ordered a size up, the 2x-large (xxl / extra extra large / xx-l / xx-large), they were perfect and roomy enough to wear without bothering the incision points on my stomach. However, fast-forward a couple of months, I gained weight and went up 2” in waist size so now I fit even better in the xxl (to my dismay).Notes on washing & drying: The pants WILL shrink a bit when you wash them, you’ll probably lose about 1”-2” in waist size so take that into consideration. I wash these on the “hot” washer setting and dry on medium heat; I always tie the waist lace before washing and drying as it helps to maintain the waist elasticity and helps prevent excessive stretching of the waist.As for the photos, this is what my pants look like after 2.5 months of wear and tear (and about 4 days of wearing since their last wash).Maintenance: The plants look much crisper after a good wash and dry. Make sure to shake these out well, push the pocket in flat, and let them lay out flat after drying or they’ll get wrinkly and look disheveled.My general stats: 5’6” / 38” waist / big butt & thick thighs / 27” inseam / 220 lbsSince I’m short, these joggers are the perfect length to fold the bottom cuff inside itself, which makes these look like tailored pants instead of joggers. I personally hate the frumpy look of the bottom of joggers (including these), BUT if you’re short enough to get away with this trick, then you can dress up or dress down these pants to look somewhat nice or really casual.Fabric weight: These are on the thinner side and are comfortable enough to wear even when it’s a bit hotter out (70-85 degrees Fahrenheit). I get easily overheated so fabric breathability is super important to me. I’d say these breathe well and won’t smother your nether regions (like other pants will). I live in a Mediterranean climate (coastal dry heat ranging from 65 to 100, almost never dropping below 50 degrees Fahrenheit) so these pants are very versatile for wearing in the “cold” (50-68 degrees Fahrenheit) or in the “heat” (68-85 degrees Fahrenheit; if it’s over 85 degrees Fahrenheit, I wear shorts).I like these pants so much that I bought a second pair of the Tabacco color (size 2x-large) and a new pair of the Black color (size 2x-large). I also have a pair of the Khaki color (size 2x-large) but I’m not as big of a fan of them (mostly because I think all khaki colored pants are ugly).* I listed various versions of the same sizes in parathesis in order to make it easier to find when using the search review feature.I wrote this review specifically for the product called “Brooklyn Athletics Men’s Twill Jogger Pants Soft Stretch Slim Fit Trousers”, size 2x-large, colors: khaki & tabacco. I paid $15.75 for each item. I purchased these items in February 2018.

For a moment I thought I had found a pair of comfortable jogger pants at an affordable price but turns out it wasn't these. I love the look of the jogger pants that don't look like PJs, but hate that almost every brand I've seen is wanting $65+ for a pair of non-fancy comfy pants.The first pair I ordered fit really good and loved the comfort. They were light in weight and just felt good in all the right places. After wearing them for a day I found that there was a hole in the crotch. I submitted for an exchange via Amazon and within a few days got a 2nd pair. Excited to wear them, I threw them on and strike 2, another hole in the crotch by days end.Now I have to be clear, I was not doing anything out of the ordinary but simply walking/sitting/normal activity in these pants. I wasn't running or super stretching or anything that should put that type of stretch on the pants. Yet they still got a hole in the same place.After looking closer, these pants have A LOT of loose stitching all over the pants. There were other areas of the pants that had loose stitching and had to cut the excess off to not feel bothered by the feel of loose threads in multiple areas.Overall, I do not recommend these at all as I just can't trust the quality of the pant. Such a huge disappointment.
