Mountain Khakis Original Mountain Pant - Men's

I have a pair of MK Orig. Mtn Pant in yellowish color that are my favorite pants, bar none. I bought two more pairs in gray and dark. Both of these pairs of pants fit nicely on the first wearing. I then washed them and wore them, washed-wore, washed-wore and increasingly the fit of the pants became more and more miserable. They shrank in weird ways, especially in the waist and thighs, until I simply could not wear them. The dark color also turned purple. In the end, the good people at Backcountry took them back. I am baffled, since I am, at this moment, wearing my 1-year-old yellow colored pants and they still fit great. I bought my good pair on sale and think the pants are overpriced. Despite that my yellow ones are increasingly stained and worn, and I could stand to get another pair, I am reluctant to purchase MK pants because of the apparent lack of quality control or consistency of manufacture.

The material and fit are great but the thread around the buttonhole came undone after only two wears. They will need to be replaced with another pair.

Like many others have stated, order the waist a size up. I normally fit into a 32 but could barely button it. Length is what I expected for a 34. The gusseted crotch is great. I was installing insulation in a crawlspace in these pants lately and was in all sorts of akward, squatting positions, but the pants let you move freely with plenty of room. I'm betting the material will hold up well as it feels pretty durable. I got them half off but not sure though if I would have paid $70 for them. Even so, waaaay better than the cheap work jeans I had been wearing for years.

I really wanted to love these pants. Fabric felt good, but just didn't hold up for the price. On the first washing they shrank a ton and they began to get pulls in the canvas all over the seams. Eventually they failed, completely tearing out. Normally I wear 34 x 32 the waist on these pants sits above your belly button. If you wear them at your waist, the crotch is too low for the gusset to actually work and you hit resistance. The fabric does feel good, if they can fix the crotch to waist length and stop the canvas from breaking down so quickly they might be worth a lower price, but not the current one, and certainly not when they fail so fast. Buy Carhartt!

32x32 size pants usually fit me pretty well, no matter where they're from. The Mountain Khakis were long legged, and skinny waisted. I couldnt even button them. Just beware when picking your size, they run long and skinny. Sweet pants though. If I ever have to fight a bear, I'll be sure to wear the Mountain Khakis.

I bought two pair of these pants, one granite and one yellowstone. These pants are all hype and not worth the money for what you get. They are made with beefy material and good zippers, but that is where the quality stops. Both colors are ugly in person, and the granite pair faded to an undeniably purple hue after only two washings in cold water. They are obviously slopped together at MK's Cambodian sweatshop, with sloppy stitching and little attention to detail throughout. At $70 each, there should not be these types of defects in workmanship. Mountain Khakis issued a return authorization for the granite pair, stating that excessive fading is a common problem with the granite(but apparently not important enough to fix) but refused to help me with the other pair. The representative at MK was not friendly, and did not offer any other options. Overall, these pants are over priced and over hyped.

really nice pants, fabric is both soft and durable. sizing seems to be accurate for me and I am 5'10/160 lbs. i wear these to work all the time since my workplace is on the looser side of business casual. looking to buy a third pair.

I have MK's, Carhardt & Orvis. The MK's are definately rugged. The Orvis pants I have are quite similer, especially since they sell both at their stores. The orvis "slacks' are a little more upscale in appearence, but the MK's seem more durable.

These are probably best suited for wearing around town, but not as a true work pant. I though these pants were great when I first started wearing them, but then some stitching around the belt loops came undone. It looked really bad and this was probably after 2 washings. It was so bad that I took pictures and sent them to Mountain Khakis. They said to return them at point-of-purchase. I've read other people have had this issue too. No problem, but then my second pair started to rip in the knee and I'm not hard on these pants. I'd save your money and stick with Carhartt's.

If you have thick thighs watch out.. Very narrow at the thighs. These pants rest high at the waist... above my belly button... much like the pants my grandfather and my junior high English teacher wore. If you are looking for a relaxed or loose fit just above the hips look elsewhere. This cut will benefit the naturally long-legged and the narrow-hipped distance runners out there. Not for the beefy! Gusset in crotch was a pleasant surprise and the quality of the product was superb.

Well built pants. While a heavy duty cotton they don't appear to be stiff (only two washings so far). Good attention to detail with an extra layer of material reinforcing the back pockets and pant cuffs--back side. Based on other pants that I have, I would say that the sizing/fit is correct for the waist and inseam length.

great looking, rugged pant. Be cautious, however with the fit. Appeared to run a little small in my case. Would buy again!

Love these pants. They can take a beating. I'm never worried about shredding a pocket or ripping a hole in them. They wear like iron. The tradeoff is that they need a little breaking in. A brand new pair are stiff. Once they are dialed you won't wear another pair of pants.

These pants are super rugged but extremely comfortable. My sig. others builds decks all winter and did not take them off the entire season. They are still ready for another rough winter. Plus, they are so comfortable that you can wear them out to dinner or the bar after work.

Still stand by my earlier comments (awesome pants, great fit etc), but would caution about the colours...have managed to inadvertently order another pair of Freestone, thinking the pair I had were Yellowstone. So Freestone is not as grey as it appears - still a nice colour, though and other comments I've read indicate the Granite is more purple than it seems on the screen too. Guess I've just got a dress pair and a work pair now! :-)

Best damn pant on the planet.

Great pants, well designed and constructed tough. Runs true to size, so you can buy with confidence (now have two pairs). Fit is a bit different to Alpine Utility model but both are super comfortable and well proportioned. Looking forward to many years service.

great pants,Seem real tough, not enough hours on 'em yet to know for sure, but they feel as burly as carhartts, but way softer hand, which makes me want to wear them at all times. they run small. I normally wear a 34 and they are real snug. Got a pair of 36 and they are money.

The most versitile pair of pants I own. Tough, but good loking, fabric and a gussted crotch make these pants a perfect from the office to the backcountry. They look great with "nice" shoes and hiking boots both.

I got this pair of Mtn Khakis, probably the only one in Singapore right now and for a long time. I would like it lighter but the weight and the texture makes it incredibly strong! I thought nothing could destroy this pair of pants. I'm waiting to try it out.

These things are bombproof, I love them so much, I bought another pair. Now I can wear one while I wash the other. The crotch gusset doesn't bind up the boys like one would think.

I have mixed feelings about these pants. They are very well made, comfortable and tend to be the pants I wear the most lately. Having said that, they are a bit overpriced and ride a little higher than I’m used to. After years of deliberation about dropping the dough on MKs I’m glad I did once, but won’t be buying more unless the price drops. This site is still the best though!

I love these pants and would never thinking of giving up my first pair but when I got the granite color I was sad to notice that they were not granite or even grey. In fact, in most light, they looked purple. I highly recommend any other color.

This company makes solid products as far as I have seen and used. If you're looking for a substitute to Carhartt, this may work for ya...

I really dig these pants. I keep getting new pairs so I don't have to do laundry very often. They don't wear out, they are really tough, and quite stylish enough for my work place. One of the best things about these pants is that I can work at a desk all day or build a cyclocross course the next and they can do it all.

Color is God awful; quality is fabulous

The Mountain Khaki pants are great. However, the Granite color pants sometimes look purplish in certain lights. I expected them to have a much more grey color to them.

I was very impressed when I got these pants. They are rugged but still way softer than I thought they would be. Well built, I feel like these will hold up to constant abuse. They look great as well. And they have kept me warm during the cold winter in the mountains. Now I need to decide what other pants I need to get my Mountain Khaki's...

I work in construction and lead an active outdoor lifestyle, these pants are simply the best.Get a pair, trust me. I go through work pants very quickly, these are made to last and way more comfortable then the competition.Only design flaw to me is the second right-hand front pocket, kind of weird, overall a small gripe for a perfect product.

I got these pants 2 months ago for my boyfriend and he loves them. If I didn't pull them off him to wash them once in a while he'd always be wearing them! They hold up all week while he's working and still look nice at the end of the week if he wants to throw a nice shirt on with them. In 2 months they still look brand new!

Being a rock climber I usually try to lock for tough pants that also look good to wear casually. This pant is a perfect example of a hybrid of a performance pant that is also a great casual pant. The triple stitching and material make this pant pratically indestructible.

These are by far my favorite pair of pants. I wear them when I'm working, when I'm out on the town, when I'm at work, when I'm climbing...you get the point. They are super comfy. The gusseted crotch allows you to do just about anything and stay comfortable the whole time. Very durable and reliable. I like these better than Carhartts.

I came across these at an outdoor shop when shopping for Christmas gifts. Found one pair in my size and decided to grab them. I have purchased two more pairs from B.COM. I am pretty much a blue jean guy... But these wear better for work, riding horses, motorcycle riding, etc. They don't seem to rip or wear out! A little more expensive then a pair of jeans, but in the long run I think well worth the price!

Not as thick as the utility pants. But these wear better and feel better than my Carrhart pantelonies! (Is that how they say it in Spanish?) If you are looking for something to outlast and outperform your Levis, BUY THESE!

If you have not tried these yet, you need to. Well made, so comfortable. Worth the extra money.

these are the best pants i have ever owned. they look great and are tough as nails. they do tend to be sized funny but other than that they're perfect.
