Indy Pants Help

Post by Indiana Neri »

Does anyone know who makes the "best" off-the-rack Indy-pants, preferably without a permanent crease? I'm going nuts looking for Indy close-enoughs but every pair that I have owned has a permanent crease down the legs. I had a pair of the LL Bean's in Taupe but somehow they ripped in the back near the pocket. Any help would be much appreciated.

:wink:

Did your pair of LL Bean's also have the permanent crease? I believe they also sell them without said crease, and with the back flap pocket instead of the button-through. As always, color may be an issue though.

Yeah they had the perm-crease. I found them at one of the outlet-stores, so it wasn't like they had a whole lot to choose from. The only other pair that they had at the time was a size waaayyyy to big for me :lol: .

I had a few pairs of LL Bean wool trousers in taupe and all I did to get the crease out was to put them in a tub of cold water for a while. I've also hung them on a clothes line and soaked them with a garden hose as well. If you're not going with wool trousers, I don't know what to tell you.
