How are these pants?

Teflon coated trousers

No way should you buy those at full retail. Some would say you shouldn't buy them at all.

$125, good lord. I can get you some Borrelli pants for around that price, please don't buy that crap.

I agree -- don't buy them at that retail -- I've seen them down around $69 on sale.

The roof of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis is one of the largest applications of Teflon PTFE coatings on Earth, using 20 acres of the material in a double-layered, white dome, made with PTFE-coated fiberglass, that gives the stadium its distinctive appearance. The Millennium Dome in London is also substantially made of PTFE

Teflon is PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE), a large, complex organic polymer. When it breaks down, it forms several different types of simpler, smaller, organic chemicals very toxic to birds.

Birds do not have livers as sophisticated as ours. Birds' livers cannot break down these chemicals in their bodies like ours can. Upon exposure to the chemicals, the liver operates for about five minutes, then shuts down. After the liver gives up, the chemical is no longer drawn away from the air sacs. Again, birds do not have lungs like we do. The air sacs cannot process these chemicals either, and so the bird literally suffocates in another 2-3 minutes.

Even a small concentration of these chemicals is sufficient to cause this shutdown. Because of this, it does not take much to create enough of the toxic chemicals, and unless you have an unbelievable air exhaust system in your house, the chemicals will reach your bird and kill it.

Teflon-coated and non-iron fabics are usually not as comfortable as the regular versions. Unless you work in a truly dirty environment or are an incredible slob, I'd recommend that you stick to regular fabrics.

RL clothing is usually very over-priced. At $69, the pants are an OK deal, buut you could do better, I think, by visiting a Nordstrom Rack, Jos A Banks on sale, or something similar. The fabrics will be better than RL's cheaper lines. On the other hand, if you just need the pants right now, the Macy's sale might a reasonable option.
