orSlow Regular Fit Fatigues — Keep Size 3 or Size Up to 4? (Athletic Build)
Picked up a pair of orSlow Regular Fit Fatigue Pants in Size 3 and trying to decide whether I should keep them or exchange for a Size 4.
For reference:
6’0, 214lbs
athletic / lifter build
~34 waist
~24” thighs
broader glutes/top block than average
The pants fit well visually through the leg and waist, but the top block (seat/upper thigh area) feels a little structured/restricted right now. Not painfully tight … just noticeably “there,” especially since the fabric is still stiff/new.
What’s making me hesitate is:
I know these are supposed to soften/stretch a bit with wear
I actually like the cleaner silhouette of the Size 3
I DON’T want them turning into oversized/workwear clown pants after break-in
At the same time, I don’t want to convince myself into keeping a size that’s fundamentally too small.
For people who own these:
How much did yours relax in the top block after wear?
Did the waist/seat noticeably open up?
Would you keep the cleaner fit or size up for comfort?
