Which is better for skating?

The Vans. It has a cotton-blend twill, reinforced bartacks under the front pockets and rear button pockets. The wide-leg pair has only two side pockets and no reinforcement.

Which is better for a wedding or office?

The wide-leg pair. Its straight cut and lined polyester read dressier, and the Vans' flag label and bartack stitching look casual.

Is the Vans pair worth the extra money?

For daily wear, yes. You get cotton in the fabric, more pockets and reinforcement for about $22.60 more. If you need trousers for one event, the $9.89 pair is enough.

The Vans should. Cotton-blend twill with bartack reinforcement and button-closed rear pockets wears better than an unlined all-polyester pair with snap closure.

Yes. Both are labeled loose fit. The Vans has an 18.5-inch leg opening; the wide-leg pair is straight and low rise, so it sits lower on the waist.

Which is better in hot weather?

The Vans. Its 36% cotton content breathes better than the 96% polyester shell of the wide-leg pair, which also has a polyester lining.
