Getting the crease out of Wal-Mart close-enough pants

Following recommendations I saw here, I picked up a couple pair of the Wrangler khaki pants Wal-Mart had on sale for under $15. Took them to a tailor and had flaps added to the back pockets. There are great pants, especially for knocking around on the weekend when I don't want to risk my Wested trousers.

Of course, these pants have a crease down the pant legs. Thanks to modern design, the crease stays there through washing. Is there any way to permanently remove the creases from such pants?

Why would one desire not to have a crease? I was under the impression Indy pants where dress pants used for Adventuring. Not? I can be mistaken of course.

Dress pants, yes. Creases in them, no.

Had you had them professionally pressed(without crease, called round pressed, I believe) PRIOR to washing, there may have been a chance of getting them out. But now that you have washed and dried them, there will be dryier lines on the creases that you will probably always see. Though you could still try it.


have a nice day.
