Premium No Iron Khaki Straight Fit Pant

My spouse needed new work pants. After checking our usual club store sources, which were out of stock on his preferred brand, I purchased two pair of these. How can one go wrong with an established brand like Hagar? Well, unfortunately, this purchase didn't work out. Both pants had an inseam one inch longer than specified, therefore the pants would need to be altered to fit properly on my spouse. (Typically, that's not an issue on men's clothes as opposed to women's clothes where inseams are not often advertised up front.) We debated whether the pants might shrink and fit properly if they were washed and put through the dryer but there was another deal breaker that caused us to think better or it. The buttons are incredibly hard to button on not one but both pants. There is another review here that mentions this issue but I was sure it had to be a fluke. No, it's not a fluke. My spouse has some arthritis in the hands and doesn't need to be fighting the too-small button holes every day. (On his other brand work pants, there is an additional metal hook inside the waistband to supplement the button. Hagar should follow the same approach rather than try to create a super tight button to keep the pants on.) I was inclined to purchase these pants because they have a decent amount of cotton in them, which allows the texture of the pants to complement polo shirts and a "business casual" look. Too many men's pants are now made of polyester/synthetic mixes and while they wrinkle less they are also too lightweight for winter. Cotton seems to be the better year-around choice and results in a better weighted feel/look. These pants make the cut on material (good look and feel) but the fit is so far off — longer in the legs than advertised and yet conversely tighter in the waist — that they have to be returned.
