And if the pilling is confined to a small area, shaving it wouldn't be burdensome.</p> <p>This is just the type of situation where knowing how to sew comes in handy. Nothing cheaper or easier to whip up!!

Sometimes that eliminates the fluff factor. I bought polarfleece pants at REI that I love because they are superwarm and don't pill.

Sometimes, fabrics just need to shed some of the extra fluff. Hopefully, after shaving the pills off a couple of times, that will slow down.</p> <p>I'd hold off on buying more, though, just to see how these hold up after wearing them a little longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-lounge-pants-and-pilling-issue#post-482801 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 04:15:44 +0000 ironkurtin 482801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That happens. There's a lot of friction on that area and soft fabrics pill. Use a sweater shaver.</p> <p>If you love the pants I would not cosider this a dealbreaker, but it *is* something to keep in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-lounge-pants-and-pilling-issue#post-482795 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 04:10:52 +0000 Elly 482795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have another weird question that I would love to have you ladies weigh in on. </p> <p>I have new pair of lounge pants. I need a tall, and have problems finding the right length. I have been looking for the style I like in my size for over a year-- my other options were marketed at teens and have words/pictures screen printed on the thighs or butt. At least these could be worn to-from the gym or out to the dog run without my neighbors wondering if I am a bum or a HS student ditching. </p> <p>So far, I love them. Soft, I like the fit, ect. I have worn them maybe 10-12 times (for a few hours at a time) and washed them twice. After a few wears, I noticed that they are piling where my thighs rub together in the crotch. It isn't visible to others and isn't uncomfortable. They have a soft, almost fluffy hand, which is probably why they are piling. </p> <p>Still, for almost $50, I am a little worried and disappointed. I was planning on purchasing more, since they are hard to find in the style and fit that I like. </p> <p>Should I be concerned? Should I not order more? Should I see if there is some sort of return or recourse I can take? </p>
