I purchased these pants for my daughter's work uniform because I was unable to find another Lee style she'd been wearing. I have NEVER had problems with a Lee product in all my years-they usually just collapse from extended wear and tear over YEARS-yet we have had these less than a month and the waistband of one pair is UNRAVELLING! Unacceptable at these prices (I saw the same pants at Boscov's selling for $46, so they're about to go up again)! There is no advantage in returing them because we are desperate to have a certain regulation type of pants for her to wear, so I'll just have to keep sewing them up for her until we can find the other Lee style again or buy other pants. Beware.....
