Savane Flex Pants - Not Enough Flex, Attract Lint and Dust

I like these pants by Savane, but I am kind of torn between 3 stars and 4 stars. These are quality pants that look good. But the cut is a little tight for this style of pant.But the main selling point is that these are supposed to flex. So even if they are tight fitting, they are supposed to stretch right? They didn't. I noticed hardly any give when sitting or changing positions. They feel just about as flexible as any normal synthetic fabric pants. So in that regard they are disappointing.These are a polyester / viscose blend and the fabric seems to attract lint quite a lot. Cleaning is also not super convenient. While these are easily machine washable, they should not really be dried because of the blend. The small amount of elasticity in the fabric is at risk from machine drying.While there are things I like about these pants, I think I have to err on the side of saying they don't live up to the marketing. I have had better experiences with alternatives marketed in the same vein.

Pros
  • Clothing
Cons
  • May need to be dry cleaned
