I was a bit disappointed when the pants arrived the first time... I'm not entirely sure what happened but they were too big in the waist and too long, but perfect in the seat. I also ordered the ankle pants, and while they fit a little better, the waist wasn't tight enough so putting my phone in the pocket caused them to get pulled down a bit and look saggy. I sent both pairs back for alterations and now they are both fabulous everywhere! It is hard for me to find pants that fit across my bottom without clinging and also don't gap at the waist. I've tried "dress pant yoga pants" and they are far too clingy on me to consider wearing them for anything other than yoga, and really not very flattering. These Redthread wide leg pants look great on and can be worn for casual wear or with a cardigan or jacket for more of a business look (sort of dressy but not super dressy). The pockets are plenty big for a phone and other stuff, and the zippers on the pockets are nice. The high waist is flattering with just enough stretch. The fabric is soft and drapes nicely. It's great to get pants that are designed to fit me!
Of the two Redthread styles, the wide leg pants looks better on me, probably due to my wider hips. There are a couple of difference between the ankle pant and wide leg pant styles that are not obvious from the website. The ankle pant has a seam down the back of the legs while the wide leg pants do not. Both have seams down the front of the legs, but the ankle pant seam is sewn so that the seam makes the pants look like they have a nice crisp fold. On the wide leg pants the seam is sewn flat with an overlock stitch. Up close, the overlock stitch looks more casual, like you would find on athletic wear, but if you aren't looking closely it actually kind of blends in and isn't obvious. It would be nice if there was the option to choose with style of seam you wanted. The wide leg pants have the option for back patch pockets. I got the pockets and I like them, but I think they also make the pants look more casual.
Although I have not worn my new RedThread pants "real time" yet, I have washed them a couple of times to see what they will do. I wish I had gotten them a little shorter in length, but that is always a delicate measurement. Once too short, they are always too short. I fully appreciate the chance to try-before-buy for just $5, which is credited to my final purchase, should I decide to keep them. I was holding my breath, as I saw this ad on FB, which normally is a terrible place to buy clothes.. I have been burned enough to know that I have to look carefully at ship time, return policy, and where the items are made. RedThread passed the test. I may order the other style once I give my new purchase a chance to get tested in my "real time" world.
I am very happy with the fit and drape of my new pants. They are nice enough for work and comfortable enough for lounging in at home. All of my requests were perfectly met.
Was skeptical on how these would turn out, but they truly are the best fitting pants I've ever had!
They are nice
The fit is as promised. Everything I was worried they wouldn't get right, they got right including the length, I'm 5" 3" and ordered ankle length. They float at the very top of my ankle and look great with flats. I'm sorry this only comes in black, because I would definitely order another pair of pants in another color. The material is casual, but the cut makes them nice enough for more formal occasions like a dinner out, or casual work.
I absolutely love these pants. They are comfortable, professional, and fit perfectly. I didn't have to send them back at all. One thing I wasn't expecting is a seam running along the front, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. Planning on getting other styles in the future.
I ordered the wide-legged pant and they fit beautifully. Nice, substantial fabric and a good line. They were a bit long, but RedThread just had me send them back for a free hem. My only issue was that the first few times I pulled the pants over my hips, the fabric strained a bit. They probably needed a little more room in the waistline given the "pull on" style of the pants. But, overall, I love them and will almost certainly order another pair. Great for working from home, long flights, etc.
I had trouble with uploading the photos- Red thread went above and beyond to get my measurements via old school tape measure and paper recording. And they fit perfectly!!!
First attempt at these pants they came too long! Not sure what happened there but customer service was easy to work with. They sent me free shipping label to send my pants back for hemming. Lickety split they were back again and perfect! So happy I was patient.
