Amazing Pants!
These are some of the most comfortable pants I’ve ever owned! I liked them so much that I bought 3 different colors!

Noice!
Very stretchy, the anti-ball-squish technology works as advertised, and the fabric feels nice next to the skin.

Pair Them With...
I Discovered these pants while searching for travel clothes. After reading about pickpockets in Italy, I purchased these pants because of the zippered front pockets. When I expressed the reason for my purchase and that my departure was fast approaching, KETL put a rush on them to make sure they arrived in time. That gesture was very much appreciated.
These pants get very high marks for comfort. Whether it's a 10 hour plane ride, a day hike in the mountains, or dinner with the wife... just so comfortable. The waist drawstring is a feature I surprisingly like, a belt is now optional. For a long plane ride and getting through security, no belt is a huge bonus. S for sizing, I'm a 34 x 34 always and the waist seems a little roomy, but isn't excessive or too much. The material has been durable, Italy, hiking, wearing to work.... no issues. I also purchased a pair of shorts which have been equally stellar and am looking at the mountain biking shorts next.
Well done gentlemen, I am impressed and a continuing customer.
I ordered a pair of black straight fit Tomfoolery Chino Travel Pants. First off the material looks good, the pants fit great, and not too expensive. I want to purchase all the remaining colors but my size 32/32 has been not in stock for awhile.
Great pants, comfortable and stylish enough to wear as casual dress pants. Security pockets seem pretty damn secure, which will be good defense against the pickpockets I’m sure to encounter next week in Italy…
Outstanding pants! They fit great and are comfortable. Hard to find pants that fit a dude who actually works out. These are roomy enough in the thighs while still being slim fit at the bottom.
I bought these for my dad and he loves them! He wants to get another pair because they are so nice and comfortable.
The Tomfoolery pants are as advertised. Very comfortable.
I wore these pants for four days hiking in the mountains of Colorado. Did a couple of 14ners in them. Good on day 4 as they were on day 1! Loved them!
Most comfortable pants. Perfect for any business casual job or several days traveling.
Perfect Travel Pants.
Love these pants! Work for both travel and at the office. I picked them up in the 34" inseam and they're even a touch long for me, which is great and not something that I find often being 6'7". Super comfortable and I really like the inside of the waist shirt keeper. That's a nice touch! For work, I throw a belt on, but having the drawstring for travel is a game changer. Overall, I'd give them 6 out of 5 stars if I could but 5 will have do to.
Nice fit, smooth comfortable and professional. They are a little on the bigger side. I am 6’2” 235 and the fit with plenty of room. I bought them for a trip to Asia, paid for expedited shipping but still arrived well after they were supposed to be delivered. Had to deduct a star for that.
The best paints ive ever owned. Ill be back for more.
Great pants for traveling. Super comfortable.
Finally, comfortable pant to wear for either hiking or work!
These pants fit great, with a slim fit while being stretchy enough to be comfortable no matter what I'm doing. I'm slowly replacing my wardrobe with Ketl clothes, and I couldn't be happier.
I'm looking forward for my next trip, these and the Shenanigan pants will be all I need to bring, and it'll be so much smaller and lighter than the jeans I normally pack.
I fly a lot and these are the best pants I've ever worn for both the airport and airplane
These are great travel pants. I purchased them for an upcoming vacation to Italy, but started wearing the for work. Just finished a week in Nova Scotia for work. These pants when from airplane, to office, worksite, to walking the city to find a place for dinner. Extremely comfortable, and the stretch fabric provides that extra room the bending and climbing, without feeling like you’re wearing over tight clothing. The look is great. The zipper pockets are spacious and secure. I will be purchasing more of these pants for my travels both business and personal.
Great pants. Fabric is light weight and stretchy. Super nice.
I’m about 6‘1“ tall and weigh 175 and I typically wear 32/32 pants. I’m trying to decide whether to order slim fit or straight fit if I order the. tomfoolery chino travel pants. Can you give me specifications relating to the differences?
The biggest difference between slim and straight fits is in the bottom half of the pant. There's about 2" more room through the calves in the straight fit. Check out the size charts for some measurements. If you have muscular legs and/or larger calves, go for the straight fit for a more comfortable fit.
