Mabitex and Incotex are the biggest fraud in SF. Low quality, inconsistent cuts, Daffy's sell them for $30 apiece for a reason. Too many SFers subscribe to this groupthink.


* I bought 2 inco and 1 mabi. And all three are lemons one way or the other.

Im sorry I dont see it. You can't find better quality 100% wool pants in a slim-fit for $50. Please show me where you can find lined, split-waistband, pick-stitching flannel pants for that price.

That photo has 'potential meme' written all over it. Perhaps it's the somewhat Goatse-like quality of the damage?

- What do split waistband and pick-stitching do for you? - All wool/flannel pants I've seen are lined. - Construction: see OP - Materials: Nothing special, the same with many department store brands out there. They're worth $30. The best for $30. But not the price they got sold for here on B&S. I

Let me first state that: 1) I am not "big" and wasn't trying to squeeze into a pair of Mabi's I had no business trying to wear. 2) This has never, EVER happened to me before 3) I wasn't trying to do lunges while in line at the post office, just a simple bend down to pick something up 3) I like slimmer fitting pants, but not "nuthuggers", and as such I erred on the side of caution and these Mabitex were on the roomier side of what is typically offered on the b/s. I was under the impression that Mabitex were quality pants. Is this just an anomaly in quality or.production, or should I just stay away from Mabitex altogether?
That Sucks man. Not sure it would crack my top 5 "most embarrassing things to happen to me in clothes" but its frustrating none the less.
