Chef Works Men's Lightweight Baggy Chef Pants

I'm new to the world of kitchens, so forgive me if I miss important details in my review. The main thing I saw when I looked at all the chef pants on Amazon were fit issues. I tried another brand first and understood the fit issues. I wear between a 38-42 depending on the cut of the pant. I ordered a Large and have plenty of room. You could probably be a 44W and still fit. Legnth is definitely an issue though. Until I have the time and money to go see my tailor, I'm rolling them up about a good 4-5 inches, and I'm 5'8". Features...the cellphone pocket is very nice. Hidden like the description says, but not by the logo where the picture leads you to believe. The cellphone pocket is hidden in the right side pocket. Embarrassingly enough, it took me 10 minutes and a trip to the manufacturer website (and still didn't immediately find it) to figure this out. It does fit a smartphone. Currently I'm using an LG Stylo 2 for reference. Speaking of pockets, there are a total of five, two on back, and three on the sides. Plenty deep too. Zipper fly and drawstring waist too! These pants aren't the coolest, but they're pretty cool. Light weight and baggy, for sure, but I don't get the breeze I felt in this other pair of pants, but after a week in the kitchen, I can still say they're definitely better than slacks. They are water/splash resistant though! When closing, I've splashed large amounts of water on my legs, and my legs have stayed dry, and the water beaded off my pants leg, keeping them rather dry. Aside from the terrible one legnth fits all mindset behind these pants (is it really that hard to make a Large-short, Large-regular, and Large-long?) These are a great pair of pants. I'm mobile, I'm comfortable, I'm prepared, and I'm protected. I'll be considering these for my next pair too.

Ordered, shipped, and received in under 72hrs. Pants were lightweight and perfect for a 6'5" man (long inseam, no extra charge). Here are my pros and cons; PROS: 1. extremely lightweight. 2. very long inseam. At least 34 to 35 inches. 3. colorfast material. 4. wrinkle resistant, maybe even wrinkle-free. Cons: 1. not enough "baggy" room in the upper leg and crotch (not suffice for ballroom dancing), order up. 2. very long inseam (problem for the vertically challenged). 3. drawstring is as lightweight and strong as the pant material (however, will not withstand continuous pulling and tugging). 4. back pockets do not have any type of closure (if that can be called a con). Thankfully, I was able to return online, print off new return labels, and received a credit on my card within twenty minutes. Have already dropped off these at the UPS store and ordered a larger pair(in both these and the J54 cargo version). "Love the pants and will enjoy the larger size."

Extremely comfortable, similar feeling to sweats but they still look professional. Only one complaint that I have is that they do run a little long so I did need them hemmed for a perfect fit.

Has a really good, wide, elastic waistband, and the pant hangs nicely. It has good, slash side pockets, and two not very deep back pockets. They wear nicely around the house, and they don't pull down if you have heavy things in the pockets due to the stout waistband. I ordered another pair. The value is good for what you get. 2021 UPDATE: I've ordered these pants five times now and have no complaints, except one suggestion to the manufacturer: Please make the back pockets deeper by at least 1" or put a button or Velcro there to secure whatever's in the back pockets. Pants' quality of manufacture and fit has been consistently good over time. The elastic remains strong after countless washings and runs through a hot clothes dryer, fabric doesn't pill over time, and the color doesn't fade after countless washings. Excellent quality product.

Great pants! I’ve been a line cook for 10 years and worked in kitchens for 20, these are the most comfortable, lightweight pants I’ve had, they don’t hold on to grease and dirt they wash clean and light. Now my big complaint.. the waist wears out fairly quickly the elastic lasts 6 months or so.. which is fine really.. there is a drawstring to fix that.. but the drawstring breaks within the year and can’t be fixed leaving you stuck with it knotted and you can’t pull the pants up. All that said, 5 stars for the price and the year you get out of them totally worth it for the comfort in a hot dirty kitchen!

Awesome Product and fast shipping.

Fits well

I bought a pair for my dad who is a chef. His favorite pair of work pants ripped/wore out and we couldn’t find them anywhere. I saw the good reviews, so decided to gift him these. He enjoyed them so much, I got him an extra pair. He says they are light enough to not feel heavy or feel like he’s being weighed down; they are loose/roomy enough for comfort and movement, but fit just right that they stay on; and they are black and wash easy so no pants with nasty stains. They are a good price in my opinion and my dad didn’t have any problems of itchiness from the fabric like a few reviewers mentioned.
