I loved the first iteration of these pants that I got, so much so that I set out to buy a total of 5 for the work week. The fabric was of great quality, with no tears, rips or snags, and minimal fading after a year of work. Bottoms looked brand new, despite dragging slightly under some shoes for the length I ordered. Pockets were plentiful and easily accessible. They fit me well, and looked good on me. I now have three pairs and am writing this review instead of buying pairs four and five, here’s why.The first pair has been perfect in nearly every way, except for these: The cell pocket is not big enough to fit two phones in cases. Admittedly, a factor that was not an issue for me at the time of purchase. After getting a work phone, however, and the second and third pair of pants that DID accommodate both of them, it has become a limitation of the one pair.Also, the D ring on the first pair would fall out in the laundry, I had to crimp it tighter to prevent this, and ruined the aesthetic.The second and third pair improved upon both of the problems mentioned above, but came with, (what seems to be,) lower quality stitching. I have some exterior stitching coming apart, as well as a Velcro strap completely detaching from the fabric. See above pictures. The bottoms seem to be holding up just as well as the originals though, so there is a plus.I’d love to buy more of these, but I’m a bit apprehensive. Overall, great pair of pants, but if mine was not simply a defect, some mending and reinforcement may be required.
