What customers say:
The Venture Stretch Chino pants are reported to be comfortable, lightweight, and versatile for casual and formal wear. However, there are significant quality concerns, with issues like poor stitching, hems coming undone, and fabric pilling after minimal use and washing. While the fit and comfort are generally excellent, the poor durability and quality control problems are a major drawback for many customers.

Great pants. Only issue they are nylon and they are subject to small tears in fabric. I bought for golf. Don’t wear for golf unless your ballnever leaves the fairway.

I bought two pair, one tan, the other blue. I use both frequently. Wash only in cold water. These are NOT permanent press, and should not be laundered that way: cold water, please.
