Figures. I'm thinking that way a bit. I like $39 pants better than $100 pants though

You would probably do well with the non pleated-version.

I, on the other hand, need as many pleats as I can get.
machine washable. hang after drying or light iron works well.
Yeah, for ~$100, I can get full custom. Pleats all the way for me. No way any plain front will be as comfortable (I can wear Gap baggy fit jeans a size too big, but just barely). If you saw how tight these pleated Land's End pants are, it's just silly, and I even have some room in the waist.
I guess those Bills Khakis look pretty badass. The lightweight poplins might be the way to go here in Austin. Looks like the Assos of britches.
It's perplexing, because the Eddie Bauer shorts I've been buying for a decade are plenty full in the rump and thigh, even in a size 32. I have to wonder if they have a pant with the same cut.
