Re: TSV California Crepe??? Try good 'ole POLYESTER!!!!

@Lila4now  As you pass on Graver and Rinna, you can't judge the quality of their material.    Maybe you should try a piece and learn the difference in grades of poly.  Believe me, there is a difference.  Their prices are not out of line for the quality and detail of items.  I also catalog shop and talk about high prices for ordinary goods.

Who wears Cargo pants?   I hate pockets on the side.  Good luck if you need to iron them.  It's a pass for me.

While the cargo pockets would not flatter my pear-shaped figure, I have more of an issue with the obvious sewn pockets.  I really don't care for the flat sewn pockets for my my hands.  I prefer an inset pocket or none at all.  This style, as is popular with many of the D&C jeans, look too matronly. 

 

But, enjoy and hope that they work for the folks that endorse the product.  Just not for moi!

There can be high end polyester. But not for $39. Think how cheap it really must be if they can make 100,000 pair of them and sell them for $39. They are just a pull on pant with pockets on the thighs. They named them crepe so they'd sound cool. They are polyester knit pants for $39.

If you think QVC is overpriced for poly items, go look at designers.

 

Stella McCartney sells cotton/poly blend items for over $2,000.00.

From a textile point of view, crepe is a type of weave. It gives the fabric a pebble-like texture with a matt finish look, no shine. Originally, crepe was made of silk and it's primary purpose in the old days was to cover those in mourning. It was called a "mourning fabric" back in those days.

I for one have several pairs of Lisa's pants and love them.  They fit and feel good.

I went to a mall first time in about 3 years and the clothes were cheap looking and

the prices were horrible.   Lisa's clothes wash up nice and I just hang to dry and wear.  

I am a fan.

I am with you.  I do not want cargo pants.  I was wondering if they were back in style.  To be fair, I did order them - 2 pairs! - but re thought my decision and canceled.  I am 5' and  I tend to carry extra weight  through the middle and thighs.  I am trying to camouflage that, not emphasize it.  LOL

I have never owned any cargo pants but I thought these looked great on every person that was wearing them.  No one looked like they were wearing a size too small and they were flattering on every body type.  I ordered the black and indigo in size medium.  I don't mind polyester when the quality is good and I love the easy care...no ironing for me.
