The pants are cut for squishy office drones. It's for guys carrying an extra 12 pounds who still want a modern tapered cut. The quality is pretty much standard disposable American clothing, that is to say a pair of pants will be visibly disintegrating after about ten washes.

Ah yes, the "American slim fit". Most shirts I try on are too tight on the chest (40" chest, medium should fit normally in most brands), but the waist is... massive (31" waist). Probably for a man expecting to have a child.
Disagree I've found their chinos to be more form fitting and comfortable than Banana Republic and I dont have 12 extra pounds. The quality has also been better than BR, most of the chinos I had from BR barely lasted a year...buttons falling off and fraying at the seams/pockets vs my bonobos which have lasted longer. Plus bonobos have nice patterns on their pockets it really sets them apart.
I disagree. I'm hardly squishy, and their pants fit me better than any khakis or jeans that I've worn in the past few years.
