Unpredictable Quality & Comfort
I first bought a few pairs of the Easy Pant two or three years ago and wore them on rotation to work almost every day. After gaining a little weight (plus the normal wear that would be expected from 2-3 years of consistent use & washes), I decided to size up and get two new pair in October 2024. While they fit perfectly and looked great when I initially wore them, I was disappointed after the first wash: the fabric in the waistband shrank and caused the elastic to double over for several inches in the front. It's a small thing, but it's enough to keep me from buying them again. Either the elastic is too thick or the fabric surrounding it is sewn too tight. I washed and dried them on delicate and low as I always had, and I never had this problem with the original pairs purchased. The folded elastic makes the waistband tighter and less comfortable on your stomach, and the pants aren't as clean looking if you like to wear your shirt tucked in. I will gladly wear what I have, but won't be buying these again until it has been confirmed that the waistband is no longer an issue.
