Sir, you have no idea how much better this video than literally all the other men’s fashion videos out there. No yelling, jumping up and down, pushing sponsored trash etc. Absolutely golden information.
Except for the info on pants. I cannot recommend polyester. Choose cotton, wool - natural materials - with a very low percentage of Elasthan, polyamid or polyester.
I literally have no idea how I got algo'd for this video, but this may be one of the best review videos I've ever seen. Simple, straightforward, consistent comparisons.
Thanks for your comment. I hope it was helpful. If you need a shirt… here’s a similar review: ua-cam.com/video/Mrqf09vQNFA/v-deo.htmlsi=Q6HjC2DoevQ0z4Cv
I got two pairs of DKNY performance Fred tech pants from Nordstrom rack online. I walk 6-8miles while working everyday at the hospital lifting medical equipment bending down to check connections. They’re my absolute favorite to wear and I bought a second pair to go out in the town with they’re honestly the best I’ve ever worn. I’m 6’2, 210lbs muscular male 44 years old. Pants were $25, $33 with shipping.
i never leave comments but props to this video and the overlap of straight forward pros/cons with each pair. kind of surprised no western rise pants. only thing missing would be a (somewhat subjective) rating - thanks so much!
Great video. Will go watch the shirts one also. I already have Jack Archers and they are great. Just a tad bit thin at the waist, but the stretch helps a lot. I would wonder about the Vouri meta pants comparison also. As I really like their shorts & polos
Thanks so much for your informative reviews. This and last year's dress shirt list are both exceptional in terms of the thoroughness, organization, and thoughtfulness. I'd not heard of Bluffworks until watching the shirt video and have found them to be as great as advertised, and I also love getting new ideas from your videos. Much appreciated and I hope to see more videos like this! Perhaps performance five-pocket pants? All the best.
I was looking specifically looking for Jack Archer review after seeing their social media adverts. I was close to buying them now I'm sold on them. I'm glad they are number two on your list. Birddog was my other choice. But I'll also take a closer look at Bluffworks. Great video thanks for your reviews it was enjoyable and informative.
Thank you Brad, I followed your advice and tried Bluffworks. I've now bought two of their travel pants, two chinos, and will be picking up the Presido suit on Monday from the tailor. You helped this 54-year-old guy find new work wear for his aging dad bid!
Of these pants I only own BYLT and Lululemon. I like both a lot, but I think the BYLT ones are my favorite. I’m a pediatric physical therapist so I enjoy how stretchy the BYLT pants are, but I agree with the pockets. I’ll have to try some of the other ones you recommend.
thank you for sharing this video, I was in the process of grabbing the JackArcher Slim Jettsetters and wanted to get more realistic reviews and you provided that and more. I love my Rhone pants, for me their dressy enough to wear to Mass and to work. But for traveling, I wanted a more "tech" pair that was strictly for walking around and outdoor sightseeing. A bit sad that Bluffworks doesn't have a Performance Black pair. Thanks again!!
Great reviews! Both your Dress Shirts and Performance Pants videos cover brands that I have been researching for a while. You have convinced me to try a brand that I've been waiting to pull the trigger on. Thank you! Keep the review series going! I enjoy watching videos like this to help enhance my wardrobe. Items like dress/performance pants, dress shirts, polos, etc are a staple of any gentlemen's closet. Looking forward to your next review!
Great video!!! My major problem is low rise. Almost all these fashion brands go to a low rise which is horrible for me because I feel like my pants are always falling off. I hate wearing belts but forced to use a ratchet belt to deal with this ongoing issue. I wish more companies would make midrise and advertise that fact for us guys with belt issues
Thanks for your comment. I would definitely check out WoodiesClothing.com I didn't include them on my Pants video... but I plan to do a review very soon. They offer customized made-to-measure performance pants where you can specify your exact measurements (including rise). Certainly worth a try if your worried about the right fit. Good luck.
Thanks for going to the effort on this. And expense. I bought Bluffworks the year they started, but found them to have too much static cling. But the fit and quality were great.
I have the Jack Archers and the Lululemon pants. I think they’re comparable but the Lululemon fit better with the inseam being a bit short on the Jack Archer. Speaking of pricing games, the reason I pulled the trigger on the Jack Archer pants was because the prices dropped to $52 when I added them to my cart… I thought it was too good to be true.
Awesome vid. I've been using bluffworks since I retired in 2018. My only complaint is they are a little loud when walking (polyester whooshing) as the pant legs brush vs each other. I have chinos in 3 colors, 4 jeans, 1 5-pocket pants, 1 dress pant, and 2 sport coats. Awesome company with great customer service
I've had a lot of luck with Bylt pants and shirts. They are definitely a brand that fits thinner/athletic bodies better. They are very slim fitting and I have chicken legs, so its a good match for me personally. definitely depends on your body size as to how much you'll like bylt. I do agree that they are more casual in style, I wouldn't wear them to work but they look great for a night out. The pockets are slightly smaller than average, but they have a nice hidden pocket on the side of your leg that works well for carrying my phone, and shockingly it isn't very noticeable or cheap looking. Great video btw!
Thanks for your comments. Just not a fan of Bylt compared to some of the other performance pants on this list. If I were comparing them to jeans or traditional chino's, I think they would probably be OK. To each his own... Bylt may work OK for some people.
@bradball I thought your video was very accurate, all great feedback. I think bylt just works for me due to my specific body, as they cater to my chicken legs lol. I look forward to your next clothing reviews!
I enjoyed your video, I ordered the truwear and lululemon, I like the material on lulus felt high quality but I would have liked the sticky waist grabber and also a bit baggy, I also ordered the truwear they definitely run small with slim fit the material like polyester they won’t wrinkle.
Give the Vuori Meta pants a try as well! I just ordered a pair to try versus my Lululemon ABCs which I like for comfort, stretch and non-iron but they don't look super formal, okay for business casual and casual though.
Small detail that's not covered idten, belt loops. Five is typical but have noticed pants with 6 or 7 loops fit better, especially fir all day wear or if loading pockets for hiking or travel.
I ordered a pair of Bluffworks Envoys based on your recommendation and just wanted to thank you for turning me onto these. They are a tad dressier than what I normally wear but they definitely blow the Lululemon ABC pants out of the water. Appreciate the content!
Thanks for the BluffWorks recommendation. I have their Ascender chinos and have been wondering about their Envoy lightweight pants. The Ascender chinos have worked great for me. I wish the “slim fit” was just slightly more tapered.
Thank you for such amazing content. This is exactly the video that I’ve been looking for!! Very grateful. ❤❤❤❤ The Jack Archer pants had strange pockets. They flared out when you took your hands out of them!
I know you didn't end up caring much for Bylt, but I ended up trying them a few months back and I loved them! I agree the pockets aren't deep enough, and since they're so smooth my phone tends to fall out sometimes, but other than that I love the fit and the stretch of the pants! Probably wouldn't wear them to work on a regular basis since I think they're too casual to wear with a button-down/Oxford type shirt, but pair it with a nice polo or fitted shirt and it looks sharp! Appreciate the video otherwise I wouldn't have been aware of all the different brands that were out there.
I love the Rhone product. Couldn’t tell you how many I own. I have been buying them for 10 years. I have the Gotham style which are a little heavier and dressier and the Resort style which are a little lighter and cooler for warmer weather. I have both styles in multiple colors. They just really perform well. AT full price they are on the expensive side, but I have always gotten at least a 20% discount or better.
I watched this with great interest because I've got 2 pairs of Bluffworks in the mail, so it was great to see them come out on top. Looking forward to getting mine!
Great video. I bought a pair of the BYLT pants last year and returned them immediately, so I definitely agree with that rating. My current favorites in my closet are my Lululemon, that don't have the line on the knee, and my Banana Republic Traveler Pants, from the actual store, not Costco. Looks like I need to try the Bluffworks as well.
I'm new to your videos. I really like them. I also want to add one criterion for pants: Do they stay up! I've recently found a company I like that I initially saw at Cotsco, Jachs NY. I've ordered from their site, Thanks again.
Bro your videos are very useful and I can see you are a sincere person! I hope you review the Gash Hao, I like the price and the look of it but I don't know about the quality of it
As a long time customer, I can say that Bluffworks is the best. Your review is spot on. They are easy to wash and even spot clean while traveling. They look great in all but the most formal settings yet perform on the trail.
Just ran across this video. Some interesting choices and nice review. I have been wearing Union Bay performance pants for 6 years daily including several multi month long trips to EU and the middle east in July and August. These work great in summer or winter, are nice and stretchy, water resistant coating is good for water and mild stains. Zipper pockets on rear and side cargo like pocket that help with pickpocket areas. They sell for $36 online and hold up great. I had 1 rear zipper fail but zero other issues in 6 years. Limited sizes and colors and they feel kind of cheap but they hold up so well I no longer have any concerns.
I’ve seen their pants and almost picked up a pair… but the ones I’ve seen are too casual for my liking… I personally won’t buy cargo pants or pants that I can’t dress up with a blazer. I’ll have to take a closer look to see if they have an offering that’s just a little dressier. Thanks for your comment.
Great reviews. I spent all of this holiday season shopping for "travel pants." Without watching your review I still went with Bluffworks Envoy and 5 Pocket Pants. Western Rise seemed like the next strongest contender. Try a pair. I would be interested in knowing what you think. I think the best comment you made had to be about getting Slim Fit pants. Again, great reviews.
I'll definitely have to try Western Rise. I was somewhat familiar with them, but couldn't including everything in this video. Tentatively planning to start a UA-cam channel soon that focuses solely on menswear... might be a good video to try.
Great reviews! For the last 10 years i’ve worn under armour golf pants. I love them and they held up beautifully. Lightweight, 3 season, never crush and the slim leg fit is perfect. At my age, i gave up jeans a long time ago. These are my every day casual slack paired with a polo or an untuckit
Thanks for sharing. I went with Lululemon ABC pants, but the waist band is an issue, but I am also 10 lbs heavier than I usually am so this might fix itself.
Best channel ever, agree on the Jack Archer! I started out with Bylt pants and they are just ok, agree totally on the too stretch comment. Jack Archer is my #1 but I've been looking for something similar that's a little dressier and are going to buy the Bluffworks now, they look like what I've been looking for. My #2 to the jack archer right now is the Bonobos Performance Link golf pant, they dont scream too much like a "golf pant". Question, any opinion on the Ultra-Stretch 24/7 Smart Chino? They're at a good price point and look like a good "WFH" option when you need something that can pair with a button up
Bylt 2.0 are my favorite pants but you are right about the pockets! Wish they had shorter length options I’m 32/30 but only 5’7. They have tall models with the ankles showing like i Iike so I can show off my shoes more.
I was able to find five pairs of ABC Lulus on sale about 1/2 price. Three warpstreme and two utilitech. With my first responder discount they were under $60 each. One, the ABC Commission Warpstreme will be used for work instead of scrub bottoms. Can’t beat that!!!
I wear mostly Lululemon, back knee seam doesn't bother me a bit. I kind of even prefer it after 5-6 pairs I had. Discovered Rhone Resort pants not long ago, very light and stretchy. Will wear Rhone Resort in the warmer days.
Thanks for the review. I also don’t understand why Lululemon wouldn’t put a stretch waist on the pants. When I told the retail associate, they just had a confused look on their face, and I felt like I was crazy. 😂
Brad, Thanks for the video. I’m new to your channel. Have you ever performed a review of Public Rec’s Workday Pants? I’d appreciate your thoughts if you have.
Yeah was gonna ask the same. He recommended slim fit for most pants but they didn’t look particular slim for the jacket archers. Im interested in those for sure. I typically hate chino pockets as they can poke out and prefer 5 pocket pants.
@ yeah, he recommended slim, but they do not look slim on him, I actually think straight is good, not too tight. Btw, they are $89 with a potential 15% off signing up for text and email
Thanks for running through so many different pants and providing a nice consistent comparison. I'm curious, did you run across Ministry of Supply pants? I'd be interested in your take on those. BTW, I really like Bluffworks and Western Rise pants.
I have owned a pair of Ministry of Supply pants. It was a few years back so I didn’t include them as part of this review. My recollection of them is pretty good…. I believe they would have fallen in the upper half of these rankings… but (in reality) I should probably pick up another pair.
No entrants from Kuhl? They are my go to for performance/travel pants. They have a superior pocket layout, good stretch, and they work best of any I've tried for athletic builds (small waist muscular legs).
You just saved me a bunch of time, money, and discomfort. I've been looking for some performance pants.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it!

Awesome video my man. Very informative.
Best review. Finally, some details! He's a good man...and thorough.
I love Jack Archer. But I cannot get over the non-locking fly zipper.
Thank you for indexing. Great video
Such an excellent review and all the work you put into it. Very much appreciated!

This is the best video I have seen in a while.
Thanks you for watching.
Great quality video and thanks for introducing brands that I had never heard of much appreciated
Thank you. Very worthwhile information.
I bought the truwear pants. Fantastic product. Very comfortable and have a sophisticated vibe abou them.
Hope the work out well.

amazing review! could you also do a review of performance 5-pocket pants?
Great job!! I sent back one of these brands and started to do my research in order to get it right. This helped a lot!!
Excellent Review ! Very thorough. Thanks Brad

Not included… but on my short list for an upcoming review. Stay tuned.
I look forward to it.
They suck… returned mine
Just ran across this video. Some interesting choices and nice review. I have been wearing Union Bay performance pants for 6 years daily including several multi month long trips to EU and the middle east in July and August. These work great in summer or winter, are nice and stretchy, water resistant coating is good for water and mild stains. Zipper pockets on rear and side cargo like pocket that help with pickpocket areas. They sell for $36 online and hold up great. I had 1 rear zipper fail but zero other issues in 6 years.

Lots of unheard of great finds. Including pants for the vertically challenged like me. Thank you for the amazing work !
Thanks for your kind comments.
Try the Johnston & Murphy XC4. I own two pair and absolutely love them.
very nice and thorough review. subbed
Much appreciated!
Saved me a ton of time, thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I went with Lululemon ABC pants, but the waist band is an issue, but I am also 10 lbs heavier than I usually am so this might fix itself.
@@Sam-e7b6i yep… they’d be top tier if it weren’t for the wasteband!
Excellent video, Brad. Just wondering what that brown belt is that you are wearing. I need a nicer belt like that. Thanks
Best channel ever, agree on the Jack Archer! I started out with Bylt pants and they are just ok, agree totally on the too stretch comment. Jack Archer is my #1 but I've been looking for something similar that's a little dressier and are going to buy the Bluffworks now, they look like what I've been looking for.

Bylt 2.0 are my favorite pants but you are right about the pockets! Wish they had shorter length options I’m 32/30 but only 5’7. They have tall models with the ankles showing like i Iike so I can show off my shoes more.
I was able to find five pairs of ABC Lulus on sale about 1/2 price. Three warpstreme and two utilitech. With my first responder discount they were under $60 each. One, the ABC Commission Warpstreme will be used for work instead of scrub bottoms. Can’t beat that!!!
What site or were they the LuLu like new
Great video. Thanks
I saw your helpful video a couple of hours ago and went out to Kohls and purchased some Izod's for $35 and they fit great! Thanks so much!
Thanks for your comment. Glad it worked out.
Amazing vid! Been struggling to find proper chinos
Where have you been all my life haha. Thank you so much for this review!
I wear mostly Lululemon, back knee seam doesn't bother me a bit. I kind of even prefer it after 5-6 pairs I had. Discovered Rhone Resort pants not long ago, very light and stretchy. Will wear Rhone Resort in the warmer days.
I am wearing free fly pants right now. Light weight summer pants good stretch and stretch in the waistband only bad is shallow pockets
props for this value video!
best stretch trousers are from Sulfit clothing great fit and quality. Nice modern fit.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to check them out.
You r a good human being, took time to explain!
The Under Armour iso chill tapered golf pant is one I absolutely love. That is what I just 80% of the time.
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you for your good work
Hope it was helpful
Thanks for the review. I also don’t understand why Lululemon wouldn’t put a stretch waist on the pants. When I told the retail associate, they just had a confused look on their face, and I felt like I was crazy. 😂
@@SaSpursFan it’s their fatal flaw!
Been looking to replace my public rec pants since they seemingly too want to make a big push towards golf wear
I loves my LuLus but have some Public Recs that are excellent.
Solid video! Any thoughts on Public Rec?
Looking forward to trying Public Rec and reviewing in the next few months
@@bradball Love Public Rec just wished there was a bit more room at the ankles.
Excellent video 🎉
Great video thanks for sharing
have you reviewed sport coats?
so far i reluctantly ordered 3 pairs of bluffworks
they were excellent i ordered more for my son in laws
Good to hear… thanks for your comment.
Levi's 501's. Been wearing them since I was ten.
Brad, Thanks for the video. I’m new to your channel. Have you ever performed a review of Public Rec’s Workday Pants? I’d appreciate your thoughts if you have.
I’ve had a lot of requests for Public Rec… plan to do a review sometime soon. Thanks for watching.
I re❤ally like the Pub Recs. I have several pair of the workday and Everyday. They are second to my LuLus
Is the jack archer you are wearing slim or straight?
Yeah was gonna ask the same. He recommended slim fit for most pants but they didn’t look particular slim for the jacket archers. Im interested in those for sure. I typically hate chino pockets as they can poke out and prefer 5 pocket pants.
@ yeah, he recommended slim, but they do not look slim on him, I actually think straight is good, not too tight. Btw, they are $89 with a potential 15% off signing up for text and email
Slim fit
Did a great job on showing us how the hands in the pockets really gave the pants “ elephant ears” look. I vote none of the above.
Thanks for running through so many different pants and providing a nice consistent comparison.
I'm curious, did you run across Ministry of Supply pants? I'd be interested in your take on those.
BTW, I really like Bluffworks and Western Rise pants.
I have owned a pair of Ministry of Supply pants. It was a few years back so I didn’t include them as part of this review. My recollection of them is pretty good…. I believe they would have fallen in the upper half of these rankings… but (in reality) I should probably pick up another pair.
No entrants from Kuhl? They are my go to for performance/travel pants. They have a superior pocket layout, good stretch, and they work best of any I've tried for athletic builds (small waist muscular legs).
