Jordan Essentials Men's Chicago Pants - Black/Black

Love these pants, bought them in both the black and the brown. My only complaint is that the two waist pockets are insanely shallow, so much so that my car keys and phone slip out of my pocket constantly when sitting.The phone you at least can feel the weight of it when it leaves your pocket but I recommend using the cargo pockets with the snap closure. I guess that’s what they’re there for lol.

I gave these a shot because I've been gravitating toward wider, more cargo style pants and seeing them well styled lately. I'm a slim guy and ordered the medium size, standard fit M J ESS STMT CHICAGO PANT.Some pros from me:- I love the button plus the draw string to keep them secure around the waist, so no need for a belt- They feel well made with any string/tie elements durable and not at risk of over-wearing or snapping- Love the drawstring ties at the ankles. Gives the pants much more versatility in pairing with the shoes in my closet (I tend to gravitate toward simple, low profile sneakers). The ability to cinch the pant legs at the angles is why I originally wanted to give this style of pant a shot in the first place.- Large, secure pocket spaces.

Gives the pants much more versatility in pairing with the shoes in my closet (I tend to gravitate toward simple, low profile sneakers). The ability to cinch the pant legs at the angles is why I originally wanted to give this style of pant a shot in the first place.- Large, secure pocket spaces. Plenty of room to store whatever you might be carrying. Also like that the thigh cargo pockets are angled at ~45 degrees--giving the pants a more modern, unique profile than standard cargo pants.Some cons:- Personal preference--but the cut of the pant, particularly when the ankles aren't cinched at the bottom, are wider than I tend to gravitate toward. But as I mentioned--I'm a slim guy so imagine this cut is inline with what others might prefer.- The material feels fairly standard and similar to what you'd seen in a chino pant. I was hoping for something maybe a bit more lightweight and breathable to match the sort of athletic look of the overall pant. Full disclosure--I just moved to Los Angeles so feel I might have only a few days to comfortably wear these out given the heat and weight of the material.- Would have appreciated some elasticity from the waist draw strings. The ankle draw strings--while helpful and well made--would also be easier to use in my opinion if it utilized a plastic cord lock, versus two strings needing to be tight together to secure the bottom of the pant leg.The overall look and feel--for me--is a durable cargo pant with a more athletic look and options to wear different ways, thanks to the ability to cinch the ankles. I'd pair with some simple sneakers and a sweatshirt/hooded sweatshirt for cooler fall days.

I received the MJ Chicago pant to review via the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The material of the pants is durable and very versatile. However, I was not a fan of the style personally, the fit was too baggy and relaxed and I found it unflattering. The pants have a nice water resistant material which would make them perfect for outdoor walks etc. The pant have several pockets which are perfect for thing like your keys or phone. Overall, the material is durable but the style is very specific and may not please everyone.
