Essential chino pant in 1040 athletic fit

I have been buying the 64782 for many years, and would have bought them for many more. But it seems that J. Crew is phasing this model out. They now only offer darker colors, and only two sizes! I might look at some other J. Crew offering, but the advantage of sticking with the same model is that one knows it will fit the same. It is just as likely that I will end up with a different brand. Why would J. Crew be so dumb as to throw away reliable customers?

I purchased both the khaki and graphite pants in the same order, both 32x32. The khaki pants arrived and fit beautifully, immediately taking to the shape of my legs after a couple wears. I was too quick with taking the tags off of the the smoked graphite pants as once I stepped into a better lit area I noticed a rather intense green hue to the pants. I also do not remember if I had a large meal prior to the trying on the pants either as they seem about 1-1.5 inches longer than my khaki pants. I am very disappointed in the smoked graphite pants as they were not nearly the same color as pictured, although I could not be happier with the khaki pair.

This size, while the most relaxed option you have, is still slimmer than the previous "Classic" fit, which was still a slimmer looking fit but it was comfortable. I have no clue why you guys decided to slim your pants up so much. I was a linebacker in college for Pete's sake, I need a little bit of room in the lower legs. It's also absurd you guys don't offer any of the more interesting colors for the larger fits. You guys are driving away your longest term and more loyal customers

My husband always struggles with pants, since he has athletic thighs and is slightly bowlegged, meaning slim fitting pants just don't work well. These are just right, and the rise is not too high. The fabric is smooth and comfortable, and quality seems very good. True to size in 36" x 34"I wish there was a broader color selection!

The 1040 fit is my go to until Jcrew decides to revive the Regular fit that I have loved for years. I'm not sure why the Regular fit was eliminated but I think that was a mistake. Skinny jeans are fine for some occasions but inappropriate for others. Please bring back the Regular fit!!! Stone was a great color that has not been made for years. Would love me some stone regular fit essential Chinos!!!!

My favorite pants, they fit just right, the fabric is tough and good-looking.
