This is OFF TOPIC, not wanting to hijack this thread.
Probably our definitions of Wide are different, and I'm using words like 'fad' while I'm not native English. Looked at 634 sizing, seems about right, i have pants a little wider. Yeah maybe fad wasn't the right word.. but before 2010'sh these models were widely worn (in Europe) than the skinny trend hit and in a couple of years wide models disappeared from shops and the streets. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I think skinny trend became possible largely due to innovation, before (historically) it was easier and cheaper to make wider pants.. Interesting discussionā¦
wide pants are definitely more comfortable in summer imho
EDIT; mixing it up, yeah since participating in DWC I love having just 1 pair of jeans to wear everyday. having worked in fashion for 8 years it was such a relief to not have to think about what you gonna wear denim did make me fashion lazy and way more appreciative for stuff that lasts and builds character..
