How Dockers's lines hold up
Dockers chinos: what owners report
Owners discuss these chinos mostly in terms of comfort and price. Reviewers report the stretch fabric is comfortable and resists wrinkles well enough to get more than one wearing between washes, and one editorial reviewer rated them his favourite pants under $40. Quality is generally rated good, but owners note the material feels lighter and thinner than other chinos they own. The recurring complaint is fit rather than fabric — buyers report legs that are baggy through the thigh, a crotch that sits too low, and inseam lengths arriving well off the labelled measurement — and one reviewer adds that the sprawl of similarly named fits makes it hard to tell the models apart.
- Strengths
- Stretch, wrinkle resistance and a low price are what owners bring up most, and longer-term owners report pairs surviving many washings without falling apart.
- Watch out for
- Fit and inseam accuracy are the recurring failures — baggy thighs, a low crotch and lengths well off the tag — and some owners find the fabric thinner than they expected for a chino.
- Sizing
- Owners generally call the waist true to size, but check length and thigh: inseams arriving well off the labelled measurement and a baggy, low-crotch leg are the most reported fit problems.
