F.....U..... Mabitex

[sjg22]

I have 4 pairs of Mabitex; 3 wool and 1 cotton. I've worn the wool pairs 50+ times combined - no problems whatsoever, fantastic pants. I've worn the cotton pair 3 times; twice I've split them down the side seam picking something up. They fit the same as the other pants; not impressed at all. I think I'm going to adopt your remedy and have my tailor double reinforce the side seams.

Twice in three wears!!!

I have 6-7 seven pairs of Mabitex, which will soon be 9-10. Never had any problems with them. I love them.

I had a pair of Incotexes do this to me whilst on a thrifting run. Bent down to go through the stupid tie-basket, loud tearing sound from the seam.

Damnit, man. Even the ones on eBay are coming pre-butt-ripped these days:

Here's a great pair of cotton Mabitex trousers! So, uh, funny story with these — I bought them new, took them in to get the inseam hemmed, and not 60 seconds after I pulled them on for the first time the next morning, I bent down and the seat split. At least it happened at home....

Are you guys having the same issue with Incotex from Daffy's?

I recently had a mega blowout on a nice pair of Incotex from Daffys. IT saddened me of course but I immediately thought about this thread. At least it provided endless luz for my family. :embarassed:

I don't recommend squatting in Mabitex. Unless you are maxing out, then it would kind of operate like a bench shirt would and help you lift more weight

I was squatting to check out a product on a lower part of the shelf while wearing Panta pants from Ed and it still ripped. But it was the material ripping not the seams which sucks way more. My takeaway is that slim fit + squatting is not meant for wool dress pants.
