Not sure what others' experience is, but the waists seem to come in just under spec and there isn't much stretch at all.
I wear mine without a belt and they fit great. One of my favorite pairs of pants.

One of my favorite pairs of pants. I never measured but that sounds about right. I never wear a belt with mine either. One of my favorites as well, but if I was doing customs on the pattern I would take a little bit out of the RR as they are slightly baggy back there. |

Thanks I have probably washed my grey chino's from B* about 5 or 6 times and the answer is NO. Size down if you want smaller. Thanks for the reminder, I just ordered my 2nd pair of khaki. Probably my favorite pair of pants. Only thing I would change is reduce the back rise a bit as it is slightly a grandpa butt fit, but super comfortable. Buy 'em before they run out of cloth. Best deal in pants I've found. |

Thanks for the reply. I need a 36 true size.
I have a 34 tagged pair right now and they are fantastic but the are a drop too large in the waist. However I’ve never machine dried them. So now worried if I size down they will come in too tight, as I have not experienced any stretch in the khaki colored pair.
Funny I like,the high rise lol

I got an email about their California crew tees. Does anyone have them ? Opinions ? I've got one, pretty decent actually. Not my favorite but not bad by any means. It just all boils down to if the fit works for you. The only reason I don't rate them higher is cause there are a few brands that fit me a bit better. |

Boxier/Slimmer ? Shoulder room ? Length ? |

Actually they are very similar in fit. If you like the 3sixteen fit I think you'll like the Bravestar. This is comparing a L to a L...didn't actually take measurements but yes, very similar fit.

Bravestars might be a tad shorter.

Well, I finally busted my Bravestar cherry. I backed the return of the Steadfast...  Steadfast Pre-order For some time, I had been coveting the IH-101J. But, a number of things kept me from buying in. The Steadfast alleviates all of the issues I had. |

The Steadfast alleviates all of the issues I had. You've got to like the fact that its 1/4 the price of an IH denim jacket!!!!! That was one of the aforementioned issues. I felt I would have to sell my SC 1953 type II, first, if I wanted to get the 101J. I can keep both the Bravestar and Sugar Cane, at less cost, this way. Although, I may still unload one of them, anyway. Decisions, decisions... |

Just ordered the chinos in green. I didn’t realize they were offered in green until I got an email today. Ordered them this morning and got a shipping notification this afternoon. I have the Cramerton khaki chino and I think they’re great.

The green chinos are great. I did wash them to get a bit of the shine off the fabric and shrink them just a bit. Like an idiot, I didn't turn them inside out, so now there are very faint whitish lines running vertically down one leg. It's not terrible, and I think I'll just live with it...it's just annoying, especially since I should have just turned them inside out. Oh, well. I've looked online. There doesn't seem to be a way to fix this, I don't think. Maybe email Mik to see if he has any ideas?
Other than my own stupidity, they're great. I love the cut on these. And only $106 with shipping!

The green chinos are great. Do you have any photos by any chance, as site doesn't have any to see what the real colour really are? |

Aren't they Cramerton? Same as Epaulet? The Bravestar chinos are selvedge. It doesn't look like the Epaulet ones are selvedge (that looks like a herringbone trim sewn over the seam, like CF does on his canvas chinos). I don't know about Cramerton. That mill is shut down as far as I know. The Bravestar site does not advertise the military green as a Cramerton twill. The Bravestar website did advertise the khaki twill chino as Cramerton at the time I bought those a couple of years ago. |

The outer seam is indeed taped with a herringbone trim. |

I have two pair and when in stock I received them in less than a week after ordering. I don't think they are made to order like CF. Mik (the owner) is very responsive to emails if you want to reach out. |

Both the sluboxious and the double black jean jacket are out of stock in XXXL's. Dangit.
Their Regular Taper is my favorite jean cut I own. And the Chinos are a constant companion.

Got my gray chinos in.
Fabric is really nice, smooth hand, tight weave, not to heavy or light, good construction... But the cut is on the wider/bigger size.
More of a work wear and not a slimmer cut.
