Mabitex warning: Do not buy Mabitex.

[Jay Gatsby]

You may have seen the thread by the guy who had a huge rip in the back of his Mabitex trousers. His is not an isolated incident. I have had 3 Mabitex trousers rip down the back. Trousers of the correct size. So just a heads up. Don't buy that trash.

You're welcome.

Old Mabitex is fine. It's just the recent SS batch.

What's the SS batch and how do you tell?

I've had it too; cost me $4 to fix. Maybe continue to buy them and check the seat seam before going out of the house?

I think this is a little over-zealous there OP... a line of stitching ripped (even 3 times) and you make a PSA for nobody to buy the brand (also screwing half the B&S posters)?

I own 15 pairs. One pair had a seam problem, on the side. You just got unlucky.

 

[w.o.e.is.me.]

I've bought about 6-8 pairs.
I only had this issue with one of them.
I personally wouldn't rule out the entire brand at all.

The SS batch are the ones with the Hugo Boss label.

I've never had a problem with my 6 pairs.

I've got a half dozen pairs with no problems. One even survived a slip and fall on ice this winter; no torn seams.

+1 mine have been pretty fuckin solid.

I just recently bought 3 pairs. I got a small split on the seam next to the pocket. I dont think this warrants not buying them at all; hell they cant be worse then Gap or even Banana Republic, so im just going to stick with my Mabi's

P.S. A tear in the seat can happen to ANY pants so I dont know why you're bashing the Mabi's

Truth hurts. Better to screw the B&S posters than have some poor saps rip their trousers in public, a la spongebob. Three different pair, all three ordered from styleforum b&s, ripped on me. It's only right that I pass that news to the sf community.

Because I own several different brands of trousers and have only had this happen to the Mabitex that I purchased on Styleforum B&S.
