Pants/Shorts
Spreadsheet Gateway
Pants and shorts are the most overlooked category but can make or break an outfit. The HooBuy Spreadsheet covers cargo pants, denim, joggers, and shorts with the right cuts.
Buying Tips
- 1Check the hardware: zippers, buttons, and rivets.
- 2Look at the stitching on pockets and seams.
- 3Verify the wash and distressing for denim.
- 4Cargo pants should have real pockets, not decorative flaps.
Common Mistakes
- 1Buying denim without checking the wash. Budget denim looks plastic.
- 2Ignoring the inseam length. Pants that are too short or too long kill the fit.
- 3Not checking pocket depth. Shallow pockets are useless.
Sizing Advice
Pants are tricky. Always check the waist, inseam, and thigh measurements. Some sellers list sizes in Asian sizing which runs 1-2 sizes smaller than US. For joggers, check the cuff tightness.
Material & Quality
For denim, look for 100% cotton or cotton with minimal stretch. For cargos, heavy cotton twill is best. For joggers, a thick cotton-poly blend holds shape better.
