Graduate SUD Straight Leg Pants

AG’s Graduate pants were my go to pant for work and casual wear. The graduate cut fit me perfectly and I found the price to be justified. I can no longer say that. 2 of the last 3 pair of pants I bought both tore in the same location: the back pocket. The pocket rips away from the rest of the pant leg, causing holes to form. I thought that maybe this happened because I bought these pants almost 5 years ago. Nope. Both pairs that ripped were bought 1 year ago. The pairs that I’ve had for multiple years don’t have this issue. Clearly, the quality is not what it used to be.

These are great pants if you are a slim fit. They have a small amount of synthetic (3% elastane = Spandex) to create a sense of stretchiness, but breathe well and look great. The only minor issue is that I wear about a 33-34 waist and the size that fits me in these pants is 32". Likewise, the 32" inseam listed is about 33". If you buy in the store, no problem because you can try them on for fit and have them altered for length. If you buy online, well it may take more than one try to get the right waist size. That said, highly recommended.

I never write reviews but I had to give a compliment to the makers of the worlds best pant. The AG Graduate is the type of pant you can go to work with a suit top in, hit the bar after, and fall asleep in them they are that comfortable. I've never had a pair of pants that fit as perfect, looked as good, and were so comfortable before. Everyone should save up and buy 10 pairs of this pant and nothing else in their wardrobe.

I wore these pants almost daily for less than two weeks. Washed them twice cold and gentle and they are completely worn out. Two holes in the seat and stitching coming undone all over. Very disappointing.

I used to think that AG was high quality. Now I realize they are not. Just got a pair of Gradutate Sud's minus a belt loop. Obviously, Nordstrom will replace them, but I shouldn't have to return brand new $200 pants because they weren't checked by inspector #72. Thanks for nothing AG.

These are the best pair of pants I have owned. They feel incredible, are soft and of quality material. They are pants with which you can wear a buttoned down, or a t-shirt, and fall asleep in.The only thing I'll say is that they are slightly closer to slim then I would've liked but I'm sure after a few wears they will loosen up some.

These are great pants, I have several pairs and they are very comfortable and durable . It is unfortunate that while they continue to advertise them as available, they cancel the order once it is placed. Increasingly an issue with shopping online Nordstrom store. I totally understand that items sell out, but they should not continue to advertise that they are available for multiple days after they "sell out" .

I purchased two pairs of these pants (diff. colors). Six months after purchase I would have rated these five stars. Great fit, comfortable, looks classy. Unfortunately after about a year the back pocket started to detach from the top inside on one side and i had to take them to a tailor to be repaired and reinforced along two sides. 18 months later the other pocket began to detach, also at the same place. I never put anything in these pockets and i am quite thin (36 x 36) so its not a tension issue. Its pretty much a floored workmanship/design. I expect more than 80-100 wears from these very expensive pants. Its a shame the manufacturers have not reinforced the pockets at these points as otherwise a great pant. Very disappointed. will continue search for a high quality durable product. It would also assist others if there was an ability to post pictures to detail what they can expect.

These pants have become my "go to" alternative to both jeans and slacks. I enjoy the versatility of the pants in terms of wearing them to the office with a dress shirt or on the weekends for a more casual look. The fit is great with a slightly stretchy material and they maintain their fit.

Recently, I bought 2 pairs of these SUD pants and both were Made in Mexico. I even went down to my local Nordstrom to check if maybe there were some Made in the USA versions available, however there weren't any. So consider the item description wrong Who knows if there are any quality differences between the 2 production plants, I just know that for this price, I want an item that is domestically produced. If this doesn't matter to you, then disregard my review. If you're like me, I would pass on these pants.

For as expensive as these pants are, I'd have expected more than a year of wearability, but I've had two pairs of these fail at two different seams and - as they're a year old - can't return them. At that rate I'm paying about $10 per wearing. Whilst wearing them they're very comfortable, which is a plus, but not enough to make up for their lack of durability.

Recommended to me in store by someone in mens department. Bought a pair, loved them and now own 5! Incredibly comfortable and versatile. Can be used on casual days and with a sports coat. I had a pair in the traditional cut originally, but much prefer the straight legs. I am late 40's and in decent shape and these are perfect for my body type.
