I think you're on to something about warming up the spandex!</p> <p>Always Trying, I have to agree with you there...I think 1% may be the key..anything more than 2% does totally bag on me....I've yet to come across any 100% cotton jeans in my travels.</p> <p>E - that's a great idea about wearing them around for a couple of hours...I wish I had thought of it before I washed my new pants :(</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-woes#post-1305363 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 19:42:17 +0000 lyn* 1305363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I hate pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the old days 2% was okay to not be too saggy; I think it also has something to do with how much you sit too - warm up all that spandex and it gets more saggy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-woes#post-1305332 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 19:03:45 +0000 always trying 1305332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for me everything with 2% spandex bags.&nbsp; I have been lucky&nbsp; and found some pants that are 100% cotton, but are hard to find no matter the price. Actually have 2 pairs from Bass outlet that were only about $20.00,100% cotton and they are soooo much better than the Michael Kors 3% spandex that cost way more.&nbsp; my best jeans are 1% spandex, and they are a lot better than the 2%, but are also harder to find.&nbsp; even searching the same brands in same stores 100% cotton are not easy to find, and if I do find some can't find my size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-woes#post-1305315 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 18:38:48 +0000 E 1305315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happens to me sometimes&nbsp;&amp; it drives me nuts: a trouser that tastefully fits my rear in the morning (not tight but shows the curve there)&nbsp;gives me 'pancake butt' by the evening.&nbsp;I haven't noticed a super strong correlation between fiber content, but&nbsp;it happens less to me in&nbsp;jeans-style cotton&nbsp;skinnies than in side zip cotton trousers,&nbsp;so I wonder if it's be the way the fabric's woven. After I buy a pair of trousers now, I keep the tags on &amp; wear them around the house for 3-4 hours (obviously not when cooking or anything like that), which is usually sufficient to see if they're going to bag. If they&nbsp;do, I return them (I've never had a problem returning them either). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-woes#post-1305212 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 16:55:19 +0000 NancyT 1305212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Over the past couple of months since I've been visiting YLF a little more regularly, I have purchased 4 pairs of new pants from different brands.</p> <p>Since I've haven't purchased anything new in a while, I found that 3 of&nbsp; the 4 pairs have bagged out alot&nbsp;in the bottom with wear, all have about 2-3% spandex/elastane with the cotton.</p> <p>Is quality going downhill, or has this happened to you?&nbsp; Do you think some brands are better than others?&nbsp; I have a pair of Levi's I purchased several years ago, and they are an Eco pair, with recycled material and only 1% spandex....they fit great with very little stretch-out.</p> <p>Any thoughts on this?</p> <p></p>
