Vero Brushed Nylon Lounge Pant / Charcoal

John Elliott's sweatpants line spans several distinct cuts, from the slim Escobar — the model that first made the brand's name in this category — to relaxed styles, with production in Los Angeles. Styleforum owners single out the LA sweatpants as substantially heavier than the rest of the line, and some note the fabric weight makes them mostly a fall and winter pant. Sizing shifts between models: the community sizing guide lists the slim Baseline and Escobar as true to size or one size up for a relaxed fit, while one regular poster wears a small in the heavyweight LA sweats but a medium in other models. Most models retail around two hundred dollars, putting the line at the premium end of the category.

Strengths

Owners rate the dense, heavy fabrics and Los Angeles-made construction, with the heavyweight LA model drawing the most enthusiasm on Styleforum.

Watch out for

Sizing is inconsistent across cuts — the same owner can take different sizes in different models — and the heaviest fabrics run warm enough that some owners treat them as cold-weather-only.

Sizing

Check size per model: slim cuts like the Escobar and Baseline run true to size (size up one for a relaxed fit), while some owners go a size down in the heavier LA sweats.
