I went to the dark side and am wearing their Slim Dungarees (long).
They are really nice and really overpriced, as if that ever stopped a V-worthy purchase ;)
The fact these are made in long and are slim but not low rise "skinny" is appreciated.

Yes, I haven't been able to make the plunge into their higher priced line, but I have no doubts about the quality. I wear my Futureworks pants all the time. They work even in cold weather, which is sort of amazing. Not horribly cold, but 40-50F. And as a walk-around pant on rainy days, they are great. Plenty of rain shedding ability. I just need some non-black colors like tan or light gray for summer.
Yeah so not 20 below zero. But 40F in wind and rain in NYC is not particularly beach weather. What I am talking about is even though they are comfortable in the warmer months, they actually keep up pretty well with a pair of jeans in coldER weather. I'm 6'1" and 148lbs, so there isn't much insulation on me. Mid-30's, its jeans for sure, and in the 20's I am digging out the Capilene.
Of course, even below freezing I see the bros in their cargo shorts heading for Chipotle. Must be something in those burritos.
Bought two more pairs of Futureworks pants to add to my collection. The ones I have are now two years old, and while I need to give them a once over to snip some loose ends here and there, they have worn very well. I am barely presentable most places we go, but my wife is visibly relieved when I appear wearing a pair of these.
Good pants.

I've had the Outlier Slim Dungarees for at least a year. Brandon's comments and others sent me down this road ;) Honestly, I wanted to see if I could break my Levi's 501 habit...good luck with that.
The SD's are a hit. They are my go to pants for travel and live up to the hype.
They are a perfect fit in 35XLong. Recently I embraced my inner DCT, lowered my eyes and walked into a Lululemon Outlet to try on their ABC pants that also have a long inseam and similar design. It was a close call but I exited without losing my man card...kidding. Their ABC pants are only made in 34 or 36. Bummer.
I'm bumping this thread on the chance someone will have a Goldilocks solution eg 35X36/37" "not levi's" pants to rule them all.
TIA > Goldilocks
