TL;DR — After 6+ years testing Mack Weldon, the AIRKNITx Boxer Briefs ($32) are our standout — 5/5, the first pair we grab after laundry day. The Stealth Underwear and Vesper Polo are solid too. Hard pass on the Silver Knit and Intrepid Polos: too boxy, too pricey. Mack Weldon Review: We’ve been reviewing Mack …
Before we jump into our Everlane Performance Chino Review, let’s look at what Everlane has to say about their performance Chinos: Performance chinos: Great in theory, but most are too crinkly, too tech-y, and too expensive. So we made a pair with all the technical-pant features—they’re sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and have 4-way stretch—plus an authentic chino …
TL;DR — Perfect Jean Khakis live up to the hybrid hype: the 78% cotton, 2% spandex blend survived our squat-and-kick test with zero casualties and feels like a khaki version of their flagship Perfect Jean. Size down — we wear a 32 waist but a 30 fit perfectly. Keeping these khakis fresh is a breeze. …

Zippered pockets are the killer feature. Skip them for the gym; for everyday wear, they’ve earned their 4.5/5 reputation. It’s …
TL;DR — We’ve worn the Public Rec All Day Every Day Pants for 3+ years and they’re the best work-from-home pants we’ve found at $98. Don’t expect a jeans replacement — they’re closer to men’s leggings — but zippered pockets, a strong waistband, and genuine durability put them ahead of the lululemon City Sweat Jogger …

TL;DR — We tested 6 men’s jean alternatives from $19.99 to $198, and the winner shocked us: the English Laundry 365 Pant from Costco ($19.99) matched or beat the $135 Lululemon Tech Canvas on nearly every measure. For the best-looking option, the Everlane Performance Chino at $68 is the pick — but start with the …
