I have the Gap khakis on order. My experience with the Gap linen pants was similar to Ceit's. I had the olive pair and they were easily a size or more larger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-951257 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:25:42 +0000 Anonymous 951257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red ones best too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-951252 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:21:12 +0000 kellygirl 951252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the fit of the red ones--front and side. They look really good on you--perfect amount of slouch (at least in photos.) &nbsp;I have the Gap broken in straights in mint (petite) and the Skinny Mini (regular) in grey--the main difference is the fit through the calves. I'm 5'3 and the petite is perfect in the straights but was too short in the Skinny Mini--the knee break was in the wrong place. The regulars are much better&nbsp;<i>but&nbsp;</i>are too snug to roll very high on the leg.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-950999 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 17:43:50 +0000 Liz A. 950999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Suz, you may even want to size up more in the Old Navy if you like a slouchy fit (this may be as slouchy as I go right now). &nbsp; I do think they are a bit slouchier than they look in the pictures, but my behind doesn't allow for much slouch. I find the sizing differences so odd considering they're made by the same parent company.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ceit, yikes, I may have to exchange the linen pants if they run as big as you say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-950647 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 11:34:46 +0000 Suz 950647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this review, Liz! Side by side viewings always help!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with Karie in preferring the fit of the red ones from the side, particularly if you want a slouchy boyfriend type fit. But it looks as if you can roll the green ones to a better place. I have that issue as well with pants that roll so I know what you are talking about.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-950633 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 10:43:01 +0000 Karie 950633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the side view, I prefer the fit of the red Gap pants. The green ON pants look good from the front view, so I hope you get to upload the front view of the Gap pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-950623 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 10:14:41 +0000 Anonymous 950623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a word of caution - I found the linen ones to run a full size large. I have the BIS khakis in a 10 but the linen ones in an 8.</p> <p>Diana found some size variation in them too, but in her case a pair was small for the size listed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-950566 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 06:40:25 +0000 Hil 950566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree on the fit of the Old Navy - they look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-gap-broken-in-straight-vs-old-navy-skinny-boyfriend-khakis#post-950564 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 06:31:55 +0000 Liz A. 950564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those who are interested, this is a comparison between these 2 pairs of slouchy pants, which are quite similar. &nbsp;Keep in mind, I have an hourglass figure with a loooonng rise. &nbsp;As you can see, my widest point is my thigh, so do with that info what you will.</p> <p>Pictured are the Gap (red) in size 6R and the Old Navy (green) in size 8R. &nbsp;I personally prefer the fit of the Old Navy for my figure. &nbsp;Even if you prefer your pants slouchier, they will hug your curves more in a larger size. &nbsp;I have short legs so the Gap 30" inseam is full length on me. &nbsp;I like this for wearing full length, but I prefer the ON 27" inseam for rolling. &nbsp;The pockets on the ON seem to lay flatter, which was a concern for some people in the Gap pant.</p> <p>The fabric feels pretty much the same on both. &nbsp;They are very soft 97% cotton, 3% spandex. &nbsp;Both come in an array of bright colors, but the ON retail for $30 and the Gap for $50. &nbsp;Some options are on sale right now. &nbsp;One word of caution is that I can roll no higher than you see in the picture due to muscular calves, so that may affect some others as well.</p> <p>I haven't tried Gap's skinny mini skimmer, but I wonder if the fit is similar to the ON boyfriend khaki. &nbsp;I'm guessing the fit is slimmer from the reviews, but I can't confirm. &nbsp;I haven't tried the linen version of the Gap broken-in straights, but I have them on the way in a size 8. &nbsp;I can't get the front picture of the red one to load right now, but I'll try later. &nbsp;Hope this helps someone! </p>
