I purchased these pants on 2/24/2012.
After about 4 months of owning these pants, the material use to sew them are a clear-ish stretchy type of string "similar to fishing string". The string type of thread is already starting to show through the material.
I have a few other dress pants and like to change up from time to time so not to wear out one pair of dress pants at a time.
Now I do like the fit of these pants. The material is soft and comfortable and the fit is excellent, just wish that the sewing of the pants was done a little better.
I was a little disappointed that the smallest size avail was 3 but since I work at a place where we have in house tailors I knew that I could get them taken in to the waist size I needed. How-ever would have been nice to be able to purchase my size and not have to have them adjusted. However I do understand that sometimes you don't get things your way and you do have to make adjustments. :)

The pants again are very comfortable and the fit is nice as well. If you are looking for a dress pants that you want to wear occasionally then these are for you!
If you are looking for dress pants that you want to be able to wear a lot I would not recommend these unless you tend on hand washing them in the sink or some sort of hand wash to them as this will be more gentle on the quality of the sewing. Which may extend the life of these pants.

Other wise I would keep looking for dress pants that are not going to start coming apart after 4 months of occasional wear and machine wash.

(Note: I had my tailor take a look at them to see if she could restitch where the thread is coming out and her reply was no)

Any who this is really going to be up to you if you want to purchase these pants.

Good Luck ! :)
