Customer Reviews Lee Performance Series Extreme Comfort Straight Fit Pant

I rotate through several pairs of these pants for work. I'm on my 3rd and 4th pair so far. Very comfy pants but eventually the material tears at the seem. The pockets also tore extremely fast on these most recent pairs. Overall really like the pants but don't expect them to last more than 8 months- to a year.

I love how comfortable these pants are and how they fit. I wear them for work and I like that they are able to be breathable enough to not be too hot to wear in a kitchen. My only complaint is that should they snag on something, it is an instant rip without any second thought. Maybe its the fabric? I don't know, but I still would recommend this pant.

Let me start by saying these are definitely my favorite pants to wear for pretty much any occasion. They are fairly durable and very comfortable. The downside of these pants is the color, specifically the navy blue which I wear as part of my uniform for work even though my company provides everything. I'm supposed to wear navy blue pants and even taking care to wash on delicate and turn inside out etc. these pants never make it past 3-4 months before the thighs start changing color and fading. Even when the pants are new the color from my navy work shirts and jackets is noticeable more blue. As other reviews mentioned the pants are a bluish black almost. All in all I still wear all the faded pants that have been retired from work as they are a great fit but Lee needs to figure out their dye or something because the color is not navy blue and it fades SO fast.

The material for these pants and matching shorts is definitely khaki material and not the older performance material. They are softer however. I wasn't expecting that as I dislike the feel of khaki.

I ordered a couple of these. The sizing is inconsistent, ok when accurate. Quality of manufacturing is inconsistent, don't hesitate to get a refund or exchange. If the item is defective Lee should just accept the return with no restocking fee: you would never have bought an item like that off the shelf of an actual store. You likely have to email about that.

Runs big

Waist not as snug as jeans with extreme motion.

These pants fit well and look nice. However the material is very heavy and thick. Not easy flowing work khakis. Would not purchase these again.

Super comfortable and better than any pair of jeans I own. I came back after 2 years but I am upset there is not better control. I ordered the same length in the pairs I have now but come to find out the new ones are an inch longer. Why do brands feel the need to change and make it a guessing game for their customers? KEEP THE PROCESS THE SAME, CONSISTENCY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. Would be a 5/5 if I got what I was expecting.

Front pockets are too small.

I bought a pair of pants for my son-in-law on Lee.com because there was no other place to purchase the specific size and style he wanted. I tried to purchase these elsewhere, since Lee was saying the pants would arrive after Christmas, but they were not to be found. I would have been able to review the pants if I had received them in time for him to try them on Christmas Day.

I was excited to find pants on sale as I needed them for work. The pants do not hold their shape well and don't look that nice. The pants are also tapered at the ankles. Every time I stand up I have to bend over and pull the legs back down. It is annoying. I just made a big purchase from Lee two years ago and the pants were great. I do not like these but will keep them until my weight gets down to where I can wear the others.

The good: The pants are very comfortable! After wearing 2 or 3 times to break them in, they fit exactly as expected (they felt a bit tight in the seat at first). From a comfort standpoint, I absolutely love these pants, and even with the issue described below, this is why I gave as high of a rating as I did. The bad: The front pockets are surprisingly small. I've worn Lee pants for many years, with my most recent purchase prior to these pants being in December 2022. The front pockets in these pants (purchased Labor Day Weekend 2023) are maybe 1/2 the size of the pockets in every pair of pants I've previously purchased from Lee. They're small enough that my mobile phone has fallen out of my front pocket more than once; this was never an issue with previous pairs. I feel fortunate that I haven't permanently lost anything out of the pockets yet, but I fear it is just a matter of time before that does happen. Furthermore, after owning these pants less than 1 month, I can feel what seems to be the beginning of a hole in the bottom of the left front pocket, where I keep my keys. Between the small/weak pockets and the fact that portions of my previous pairs of pants began to fade from the sun after less than 6 months, I now question the quality of Lee's workmanship. Sadly, due to this, I will be looking elsewhere the next time I need to purchase pants, which I suspect will be sooner than I had planned. I'm disappointed, because I genuinely love how the pants fit and feel, and had previously felt that Lee's quality was excellent.

Love the fit of these pants. Only problem is I have had more than one pair develope holes in the pocket

Great comfort & fit Poor quality The stitching on the inside of the pockets has come loose.

pants now have only 5 belt loops not 7 and do not fit the same will not be buying again unless they go back to 7 belt loops come on LEE how much are you going to save by not having the right amount of belt loops is it worth losing customers over??

Lee was always my go to casual pant. They always had the best fit, never too baggy or droopy in the seat and thigh, always just right. In my opinion Lee, you went and ruined your entire line of casual pants by incorporating this stretch material nonsense, and not offering your loyal customers any 100% cotton pants to choose from. These new pants fit good like Lee pants always have, but they just don't have the high quality look and feel of the all cotton pants. So good bye for now Lee, and thanks for the memories.

I returned these pants (2 pairs), as they were to loss fitting, and ordered two of the relaxed fit, which I am happy with.

I do like Lee brand above all others. But, how they "fit" of yore is long gone. Now, I am talking about the cut and shaping of the material of 40years ago. They are all too shallow. The very first time I ever tried a Lee jeans, I was impressed how they fit! Description is it "sits at natural waist, but then, just barely. The Lee I remember had just a tad higher lines, but not too deep. I understand manufactures are cutting down on amount of material somehow. All those claim about high-tech STRETCH this and that which, to me, mostly, is a gimmick--they use it to use less material. About the material itself; I have no idea why black(or similar color) material feels so much more coarse and rigid compared to other colors but of the same material. Lighter colors(khaki) is far more comfortable for me. Will see how washing will change the feel of it. I know you are not to use bleach. But, I wear this at my work(restaurant). Just a note of caution;even the slightest of bleach splash will discolor it. Personally, I don't mind.

I gave it three stars because the front pockets tear easily causing contents to fall through. I had to have each front pocket reinforced. Also, a bit tight in rear. However, I would purchase again because for the most part they fit well - like the stretch - and look good.

Please see above

I bought some of these pants about 3-4 years ago and liked them. I couldn't find any locally so I decided to order them online because they were said to be the extreme comfort line just like the others I bought. These feel different, not as comfy and the pockets are shallower.

The color in the picture and the actual color don't match

So I purchased 5 pair of pants in different colors! The iron pants I ordered! Both pair had holes in the front pockets! Hence "Loose Change" I called customer service and they offered to replace the pants if I would send the damaged pants back! I said Naw! I can sew them!

I have purchased 10 pairs of these pants and I absolutely love them except for one issue that would be easy to correct. Pros: extremely comfortable, sizing is spot on, color options are great, fast shipping, great value overall. Con: the pockets. I have 7 of the 10 pairs where both the front pockets developed a hole within 3 weeks of wearing and washing. I do not keep sharp objects in my pockets that might cause these holes either. A pen is the sharpest object in there. I use to wear Docker 360 flex pants which are good too. But the Dockers are thicker and really hot in a southeast summer. The Dockers tend to fade fast as well.
