In October of 1942, Douglas MacArthur was photographed walking ashore in the Philippines to make good on his promise to return. While I can't be certain, it looks like his entire uniform was made from Cramerton cloth. It is fact that I will never make an amphibious statement of international consequence or ride my pants up to my chest like the storied General, but I can guzzle coffee like the best of them while sitting comfortably in a pair of these Tellasons. I'm not one for full pant legs, so the tapered cut is just right for chinos. Along with the cut, the construction is a great for both work and off. They do ride a little lower, but it's a welcome change from the ever decreasing zipper length. I would say the waist is true to the measurement (not the tag); maybe a tiny bit larger. I will probably buy another pair in the future - especially if there is a discount to be found, somewhere (shameless, I know).
