Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Lakewashed Chino Pull-On Pants Ankle

Nice chinos -- a loose fit through the leg and comfortable elastic waistband. With a nice top, they look presentable for a casual work environment. They do stretch after you wear them once, though, so be aware of that.

Well made pants! I would have rated 5-Star, if I don't have to iron before wearing them.

Nice pants but they stretch out fairly quickly and need to be washed to get back to the original size

Super comfy and light weight. Petite fit really well and much better than the regular button waist chinos

They shrunk. Otherwise ok. They are comfortable and nice style

Comfortable. Many of the clothes I've ordered over the years from LLBean I still have. Not sure about the waist on these.

These pants fit well and wash well. Very few wrinkles if taken out of the dryer when damp and hung on a hanger to finish drying.

Comfortable, lightweight, summer pants and I love the colors that they come in. The only reason that they did not get Five Stars is that they are available in Favorite Fit only and I am a Classic Fit kind of girl. But they a cute pair of pants nonetheless and I have the shorts too.

Great fit. Comfortable. Just wish they didn't need to be touched up with an iron.

The fit is more relaxed than fitted; fabric is soft but not drapey and will work for spring and summer wear. Color is accurate. I purchased the petite and the length hits just above my ankle. Haven't washed them yet- I hope they don't shrink!

The fabric is substantial and the sizing is accurate. I just wish the pant legs were slightly tapered. Then they would be perfect!

I'm 5'5 and 160lb, and now am bigger in waist than in the butt, an age-related change. These fit well, and the ankle length works for me because I have relatively short legs, but long torso which means petites usually don't fit. Material is very smooth and soft, and more substantial than the non-cotton ("active/performance") pants that are coming out now. Would like a slightly higher waist/rise, but that is no longer popular. The elastic waist is comfortable, wide, and also has drawstrings if you want to cinch it. The front pockets are a little too shallow - phone falls out sometimes - an inch deeper and slightly sturdier liner would be perfect. I appreciate this offering in cotton chino, since my experiments with the nylon-type fabric pants has not been satisfactory. Great f you could offer this in white!

Pants were great except too short. I have ordered long pants from LLB before, and had to return them because they were too long. All the other regular length pants from LLB have been just right.

I like them but wish the leg came to a more narrow taper at the ankle (like a true ankle pant). I like to roll my pants in the summer and the wide leg looks a bit sloppy when rolled. I sized up anticipating shrinkage and am pleased with the fit (I have athletic legs but a menopause waist).

By the size chart, I am closest to a 6 (27 waist, 37 hips), but I chatted to get actual garment measurements, and my measurements were for a size 2. So, I ordered the indigo, boulder, and deep olive in size 2. They fit fine, adjustable waist is good for my figure so that I don't get a gap in the waistline. Nice quality; good alternative to my usual jeans. I appreciate that so many of Bean's items are offered in petite and wish that these had been. The inseam is listed as 27 inches. My full-length inseam is 27 inches so I ordered these hoping that they would fit as full-length pants. The indigo and boulder did at a 27 inch inseam, but the deep olive was made with a 26 inch inseam and looked dorky as they were too short to be full-length and too long to be ankle length, and I didn't like them rolled up. I thought they were a fluke and so re-ordered, but the replacement pair was also 26 inches. I would like a green pair, but do not want to chance getting a shorter than stated inseam for a third time. If you are a regular (lucky you!), I think the length would be fine whether they are 26 or 27 inches.

These pants are well made and are comfortable EXCEPT that the waist is too low in the back and they constantly have to be tugged up. I don't have this issue with other LLBean clothing.

I like the weight of these pants but not warm enough for winter. What I don't like is the tie at the waist. The strings are a bit bulky and shirts worn untucked stick out as a result of the protruding tie. I also wish the legs were tapered to more of a slimmer line starting at the knee. They are roomy with plenty of room for unrestricted movement. The quality is typical of LLBean - excellent, so they will last forever

While these pants are lightweight and comfortable, I'm not crazy about the elastic waist which creates gathers/puffiness. They remind me too much of Alfred Dunner pants.

Nice, but I wish the waist were a tad higher. Pulls poem during wear, with a real risk of exposure. Tighten that tie at the waist, or it might stay behind when you stand up.,. Fabric wrinkles easily

These pants are comfortable, but way too baggy in the seat and thighs.

I liked the fabric and the fit was OK, just bunched below the gathered waist too much for me. Would recommend to a friend but with this info about the "bunching". This may vary with a person's build.

The fit was fine through the hips and thighs. The inseam size was not provided when I ordered, and the pants are 4inches too long. Getting them tailored almost doubles the cost.

These seem like nice pants. I need pull-om/elastic waist. I weigh 150 and am 5'7" and got a large. Length was fine; they were way too big on me. I'l check other pants.

I really wanted to like these. The length is good. The fabric is good. The fit is... weird. There is a LOT of excess fabric around the midsection, and they fit tight in the thigh. I will try to put in a couple of darts to remove some of the excess fabric as it causes a saggy bulkiness.

I am 5 ft 8 in and the pants make me look like I am wading through flood waters. Need longer options! Other than that, the colors are wonderful and the pants are very comfortable.
