Dockers D1 Khakis
I’ve been wearing Dockers since high school when I used to steal (read borrow) them from my grandfather’s stash. He pretty much had every color and style they made. I never saw him wear jeans–he always had on those nicer type trousers or Dockers.
My grandfather was a little old school so all his Dockers had pleats and were cuffed at the bottom. When I would wear them, my friend (Bob K.) would say, “Why you wearing old man pants?” I didn’t care and shook the teasing because I felt good in them.
To this day, when I want to wear something other than jeans, I turn to my Dockers. Only the one’s I wear now are flat front and sans cuffs.
If you’re in the market for new pants, take a look (again) at Dockers. I personally recommend their Signature Khaki ($35) in D1’s or D2’s for a more tailored and modern look.

Tyler is ultimately right here, but Dockers ain’t just khakis in my book.

+1 for Dockers.
They do have a confusing sizing chart though. I was at the mall and couldn’t figure out which style and size fit me. If you ask me there are one too many things to consider style, size and color etc. However the best thing about them is the price.
@Kyle I agree that in the mall setting that the sizing isn’t well explained or easy to follow especially since they are bunched in with all the other Dockers. But having said that, once I tried on each of the four D’s, I knew what I was getting. Here’s a good explanation of their sizing chart and fit guide:

I used the friends and family discount code and scored some new pants. The D1 looks too fitted for me because my thighs are abnormally thick. The pants I got are their new soft khaki. Oh and one thing, don’t forget that there is a shipping fee. It made the purchase a bit more but with the FF discount it’s still a great bargain.
I too have been wearing Dockers for over 10 years.
