Pants/Shorts Spreadsheet
Pants and shorts are the trickiest category to buy online because fit is personal. The LoveGoBuy spreadsheet helps by tagging each listing with cut type and fabric notes. This entry page does not show a local inventory of pants; instead, it explains what you should know before opening the full catalog. Rise height, inseam length, and fabric stretch are the three variables that make or break a pair of pants. We also cover the common rep-specific issues like inconsistent dye lots and incorrect pocket placement.
Buying Advice
Rise is more important than waist size. A high-rise pant that fits at the waist will still look wrong if the rise is too low.
Check the inseam against your actual leg length. Some batches are cropped without clearly labeling it.
For denim, ask about the weight. 12oz denim is standard; 14oz+ is heavy and stiff.
Stretch fabric blends need to be listed. If there is no elastane content, the pants will not flex.
Cargo pants need to be checked at the pocket depth. Shallow pockets are a common factory shortcut.
Style Directions
Relaxed / Wide: The 2026 trend. Check the leg opening because some reps taper the leg too much.
Slim / Tapered: Classic silhouette. The thigh should have enough room to sit comfortably.
Cargo / Utility: Pocket placement is key. Misaligned pockets make the whole pant look off.
Shorts / Athletic: Inseam should be listed. 5-inch and 7-inch inseams look completely different.
Common Mistakes
Buying based on the waist size only. Thigh and rise measurements are equally critical.
Ignoring the fly type. Button flies on rep denim are often misaligned or use cheap buttons.
Not checking the wash consistency. Faded denim should fade evenly, not in patches.
Assuming joggers are all the same. Waistband elasticity and cuff tightness vary wildly.
QC Checklist
Waistband stitching is straight and the elastic is evenly distributed.
Fly sits flat and the buttons or zipper are aligned.
Pockets are symmetrical and deep enough.
Hem is clean and the thread color matches.
Fabric is free from snags or dye bleeding.
Size & Fit Tips
Pants on the spreadsheet are mostly listed in Asian sizing. For a relaxed fit, size up one. For wide-leg pants, check the thigh measurement, not just the waist. Shorts are more forgiving, but the inseam is the critical measurement. The full catalog includes a detailed size chart for each batch.
