The verdict
Fit
Pleat front and drawstring waist point to a relaxed, roomy fit rather than a slim trouser; expect a comfortable, adjustable waist with a looser leg.
Quality
Cotton twill holds up well with regular wear, and Essentials generally builds its basics solidly, though this is a simple design rather than anything technically advanced.
Is the price fair?
At $160, a large portion of the cost is brand markup rather than material or construction that clearly outpaces other cotton twill trousers at a lower price.
Best for
Someone who wants a comfortable, relaxed trouser in this brand's specific cut and doesn't mind paying for the name.
Care
Machine wash cold and tumble dry low to prevent shrinkage and keep the twill's structure.
