Also been rocking Bonobos performance link athletic fit, and I enjoy them. They're a bit pricey at ~$100. Also like the JCrew stuff.
Any other brands I should look at for athletic fit chino/business casual pants?
I found Charles tyrwhit slimfit shirts are perfect out of the box for my body type.

I've been trying to find some new go to Chinos and the Bonobos were on my list to try, good to hear they seem to work. I was a big Bonobos fan back probably 10 years ago but kind of forgot about them.
I have a couple of Taylor Stitch oxfords that I like a lot, along with a couple Spier and Mackay pique polos. May order a Sunspel to compare, but the Spier fits perfect and is a good price.
But yeah, chinos I haven't quite looked at yet. Trying to remember what else was on my list, I think. Oh, I do have a pair of these that I like, forgot about that. Huckberry 365 Chino. I found the Straight worked well enough for me in a 30. I originally ordered the athletic or slim and they were way too skinny for my style.
Oh, I have two pair of these by AG that I've worn consistently for over 10 years and they've held up amazing. I'm just not paying $200 per pair of pants these days. One in khaki and one in navy is all I needed. AG Jeans.

Yeah bonobos are nice but is it $120 nice? Not sure. If you shop the sales they can be good deals.
They fit really nice and feel great though

I actually havent worn shitty shoes (like New Balance) in a few years. I just wear Brooks now, which are fantastic.
New Balance shoes, in hindsight, are pieces of shit. They aren't healthy/good for your feet.

NB are the only shoes that have ever been comfortable for me since my feet are kinda wide. Bought a new pair in 2020 that were the (mostly) made in America version and still wearing them every day today. Little worn out now, but still more comfortable than other shoes.

Just bought some brooks glycerin's the other day. Really enjoy them. They have a nice bounce

so now they're in fashion why did you stop wearing them unless you're intentionally trying to be a hipster who liked them before they were cool?

I had some Adidas Ultraboost 19's there were awesome for an everyday sneaker. Replaced those with Ultraboost 22's; no where close as comfortable. Also, had to look them up on my purchase history... have been putting up with the 22's for a year and a half. Should have just returned them from the start.

Asics are my go-tos. Their only disadvantage (and other JP brands like Mizuno) is outsole durability. I usually get around 300-350 miles out of them, whereas I can get over 500 on a pair of Brooks (albeit the Brooks aren't quite as comfy).

I had some old 2019 ultraboosts also and loved them. Then I also tried a pair of the 22's - absolute dogshit.

I had a pair of prescription orthotics made earlier this year when I had a bit of plantar fasciitis, put those in my Brooks Glycerin and whoo boy. I asked for a pair for all my shoes those things felt so good. They turned me down saying I’d need a new prescription for each pair.

I don't give two fucks about fashion I'm only in this thread because you tagged me here. At the time the shoes seemed pretty comfortable, today they would probably still be comfortable. But I've learned a lot about shoes since I've been having some ankle issues and have learned that very few shoes are actually built very well Brooks being one of them and so I've stuck with them and they are also comfortable.
Take your shoes and see how far you can fold the tip of the shoe toward the back of the shoe in like a u-shape. You should barely be able to move the tip of the shoe towards the back at all. With Brooks shoes you can barely do that. With new balance, nike, reebok, and just about every other popular brand you can fold them almost completely over. That's the sign of a very weak shoe providing limited support for your feet.

I bought a bunch of the fresh clean threads ones (but the original brand, not theirs). Someone linked it earlier but it was Jiffy or something.

I use just Hanes cotton undershirts just to avoid deodorant stains in my nice shirts. If you don't want to see the T-shirt collar just buy their V necks
