Old Navy has at least two distinct High-Waisted OGC Chino listings, so the product number matters: #581098 is the older style named in this review, while #857281 is a separate, newer version. Their listed fabrics and front pockets differ. The available evidence supports a comparison of retailer specifications—not a firsthand fit, comfort, or durability verdict. No verified try-on photos are available here.
Which OGC Chino is this review about?
The title refers to Old Navy’s #581098 listing. Old Navy separately describes #857281 as its “new and improved OGC Chino,” with a more streamlined fit. Treat them as different products rather than assuming the newer listing is simply the same pants with updated copy.
Old Navy’s #581098 product page is the reference for the older style. The separate U.S. #857281 product page and Philippines #857281 page describe the newer version.

These are retailer-listed specifications, not measurements independently taken from a pair. The #857281 details are on the U.S. listing and are also corroborated by the Philippines listing. The Philippines page notes that displayed color can vary with screen brightness.

What can—and can’t—be concluded about fit?
Both product pages describe a rise at the belly button, room through the hip and thigh, and a straight leg. That tells you Old Navy’s intended silhouette; it does not establish how the pants fit a particular body, whether they run true to size, or how the back elastic feels when worn.
For #581098, Old Navy says its pictured models are approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and wear S (4), L (12), and XL (18). Those details are retailer model references, not a sizing recommendation. The #857281 page calls its fit more streamlined, but that wording does not quantify how it compares on a wearer.
Rank #2
- ATHLETIC FIT: Extra room in the hip and thigh for athletic builds. Sits at the waist.
- COTTON CHINO: Washed for softness, this breathable cotton twill has a bit of stretch for comfort and flexibility.

No verified firsthand try-on, reviewer measurements, selected size, wear duration, laundering results, or review photos are available to support a personal fit verdict. A genuine photo review should identify the exact product number and color and show the front, side, back, waistband, pockets, fabric, and hem—along with the reviewer’s height, usual size, and size tested.
What do customer comments and ratings tell shoppers?
One customer discussion includes a person who said an OGC Chino felt thin and attracted lint right after unpacking. That is an individual impression, not evidence about every product number, color, or production batch. Another Old Navy discussion describes a shopper noticing two versions and perceiving subtle differences; the separate official product numbers and listed fabric compositions provide firmer grounds for distinguishing them. See the discussions at r/fashionwomens35 and r/Oldnavy.
