I WANT ROLL

Thanks!  Ended up meeting a friend out after work...ditched the vest at home.

The ribbons do look good with black faced watches. This black one looks especially good with a single navy/red band or a yellow/navy stripe; this one is a little louder and some could argue best suited for a tour of the Norwegian embassy.  I am not a watch collector, but do have a few different classic watches and I especially like the ribbons with the darker faces--I have another watch with a coffee colored face and they look good with that too.

Lands End now has what they call "Knockabout" chinos in a variety of fits.

36 x 28.25, plain hem, traditional fit, before washing:

waist 18 1/2 inches
inseam 28.5
rise 11
width at knee 9 1/2
width at bottom of leg 9 1/8

So pretty generous, slight taper, a little wiggle room in the waist and leg for shrinkage. French fly, which seems unnecessary to me, one rear pocket with button and the other basted shut and no button. No alterable waist.

Key point is they brought back the custom length/cuff option. So for $50 we have a serviceable chino, and since LE indulges in multiple promotions, the price can and will go much lower.

The last iteration of LE chino had flaps on the back pockets, a feature I found very annoying.
