How does the Relaxed Lived-In Chino fit compared with Banana Republic's slim chinos?

It is cut relaxed through the seat and thigh, so it sits looser than the brand's slim and straight chinos. If you normally wear slim, size down or expect a roomier leg.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The chino is described as soft cotton with a wash treatment, with no stretch fiber listed. Expect a soft but non-stretch hand that loosens slightly with wear.

What is the difference between Regular and Tall?

Tall gives extra length in the leg and rise for taller shoppers. Regular is the standard cut. Both use the same relaxed fit through the seat and thigh.

How should I care for the washed cotton?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low to keep the soft finish. The washed cotton wrinkles, so hang or fold promptly if you want a neater look.

What pockets does it have?

Off-seam front pockets and button-through back welt pockets, plus belt loops at the waist.

Is this the same as Banana Republic's main-line chino?

No. It is made exclusively for Banana Republic Factory, so the fabric and finishing differ from the main-line chinos.

Our take on the Banana Republic Men's Relaxed Lived-In Chino Blue

The Relaxed Lived-In Chino is a soft cotton chino with a garment wash that gives it a broken-in feel from the first wear. It has a relaxed cut through the seat and thigh, a button closure with zip fly, belt loops, off-seam front pockets and button-through back welt pockets. It is made for Banana Republic Factory, so it is a step below the main-line chinos in fabric weight and finishing. It suits shoppers who want an easy everyday pant and don't need a crisp, structured chino.
