Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ordering only by waist size without checking inseam.
Not accounting for shrinkage on raw denim.
Assuming all cargos have the same pocket layout.
Sizing
Pants sizing varies by fit type. Slim fits run tighter, relaxed fits are roomier. Always check the size chart for both waist and inseam.
Material
Cargos use cotton twill. Joggers use fleece or cotton blends. Denim uses 12-14oz raw or washed denim.
Fit
Slim, tapered, and relaxed are the main fits. Check the thigh measurement if you have larger thighs.

How do I choose the right inseam?
