Which should you buy?
Buy the Quince at $50 if you want a trimmer, stretchy organic-cotton chino and like direct-to-consumer pricing. Pay the extra $5 for the Lands' End if you have a fuller or taller build and want the generous comfort-waist room plus twill that's rated for dependable, no-fuss durability. Quince's durability is only adequate, so the small premium genuinely buys longer wear and more give. The trade with Lands' End is a conservative, relaxed cut rather than a sharp leg.
