Stretch Organic Cotton Ankle Lantern Pants

Having owned and worn the “original” double weave, I ordered these pants with great expectations. My double weave jacket has stood the test of time. It has held its shape and color through decades of washing and wearing. It was only recently sidelined into a gardening jacket because of an accidental bleach spill. However, it performs well in the garden - resisting brambles, avoiding tears…. I immediately sized up the new double weave fabric as vastly inferior. The material is flimsy with little body. It was poorly sewn with threads hanging and one leg slightly longer than the other. There are many reviews commenting on EF’s fall from grace with lower standards, inferior fabric, workmanship…I have to agree. I don’t imagine these pants will hold their shape or last more than a couple of seasons. Ink color was beautiful.
