Apparel reviews of Dockers Men's Never Iron Flat Front Pant
Customer Review: Decent pants with a few issues.
Rating: 4 Stars
I've been wearing these for a few years now as work pants.
I work in an office, so there is minimal wear and tear on them.
I'll make it short.
The good.
They fit well, not too baggy, not too tight, just right.
They never need to be ironed.
The bad.
The color (I buy black) tends to wear off on the top section of the belt loops revealing white beneath.
It may just be my love handles wearing the fabric away lol.
Another nasty thing these pants used to do but Docker's seemed to have fixed is the cuffs on the leg would fray big time.
The last few pairs I've had have not done this, so it might be something the company fixed.
I give these pants my recommendation.
Be warned though, as with most flat front pants they can make you appear....very visible from the front.
Pleated pants tend not to bunch up in the front but flat fronts definitely reveal a little more than needs be.
Ahem....
Still decent pants.
Customer Review: TOO BAGGY
Rating: 3 Stars
First, I do have to say I like the color, feel and quality of the fabric, they are pretty good on the wrinkle free aspect.
Now to the bad...
No where in the description does it say that it is relaxed fit...these pants are super baggy on me. I ordered a 32x30 and they are super baggy on me. I'm not a skinny dude, so didn't expect to have so much leg room.
I'd suggest getting these pants in person after trying them on in a store first.
Customer Review: Poor Quality
Rating: 1 Stars
I purchased these pants mostly due to the Dockers reputation. While I was ultimately disappointed with this product and am seriously questioning Dockers' ability to maintain quality, there are some very good things about these pants:
1. 'Never Iron' means never iron. I've tried countless wrinkle-resistant, no-iron pants - Dockers and other brands - and have determined that they are all meaningless marketing terms. THIS is the exception. When removed promptly from the dryer and hung, these pants are truly NEVER IRON. I can say this first-hand through at least 8 washings. I still have yet to get through 30 washings.
2. The weight of the material is excellent and makes these pants seem a little more dressy than traditional khaki pants. They also hang more nicely on the body.
3. I purchased two pairs - one in navy and one in khaki. So far, color-retention has been excellent - again through 8 washings.
4. Great fit.
However...
While all of these benefits suggest a truly premium pair of pants and might indicate one very happy customer, there is one drawback that writes off all of the above comments: they fall apart.
The waistband snapped and a beltloop frayed in the khaki pair after ONE washing. The stitching unraveled. After 8 washings, the stitching in the waistband of the navy pair unraveled. I was able to restitch these all myself, but this is not the quality one would expect from a premium pair of pants that cost between $70 and $80 dollars. And, I certainly wouldn't expect this from a previously good name such as Dockers.
In sum, a pair of pants can have the best features in the world, but if they fall apart, they're useless. I'm seriously questioning the ability of this brand to maintain its quality
