Sansabelt customer service is sending me a return authorization form for the dealer. But I think I'm going to try Honigs pants and see if they work better. My newer SB pants don't have as much of a wrinkle problem, but they've only been worn (and washed) about 4 times each.

Ever think that maybe the pants are OK and your body is wrinkled?

Also, I wash mine in cold water (on my wife's orders).

You've got a very attentive wife.

But doesn't she worry that you'll fall off the chair & hurt yourself when you climb up there to reach the top of the ironing board?

When did "iron" become a verb? I don't get it.

Now that you mention it, my wife did want to use an iron on me the other day.

In the sense you mean, the earliest usage as a verb was in 1680, in the Earl of Rochester's Trial of the Poets. Fielding and Dickens later pressed the usage further.

Sorry, but I'm not taking them to the dry cleaner. The cleaners have ruined more of my clothes than I care to remember, plus, I'd be going to the cleaners twice a week just for pants.

Try a different cleaners. The cleaners is the last resort. If dry cleaning doesn't fix the problem, you have a bad pair. Before I go any further, where did you get these pants and what is the brand name? Hopefully, we are talking just one pair. If it's more than one pair of pants, I suspect you.

I have 5 pair of these pants and the one thing they do not do is wrinkle. You need to put them in the dryer too, because this gets the wrinkles out after wash better than just hanging dry.

One quick point. How do you store your pants after a game? I have seen officials fold there pants very neatly after wearing until they get home to wash. I don't necessary go this far and I do not have any wrinkle problems. Perhaps that is your problem. If you ball them up after a game and just throw them in the bag, and leave them there for awhile, like a day. You just embedded the wrinkle into the pants.

I have several pair of SansaBelts that I alternate. I always clean my pants at the cleaners. I do this for softball as well as baseball. This way I know they are pressed and have a sharp crease in them. I can get between 3 and 5 games out of a dry cleaning. With 4 pairs of pants being alternated that will get me between 12 and 20 games between cleanings. Money well spent if you ask me.

As far as the belted pants goes - ewwwwwww! I actually saw a guy in a JV game once wear Dockers with CUFFS! When he came into the locker room where we were dressing for the varsity game - he asked if we saw anything that he needed to improve on. Guess what I (very nicely) suggested . . .

You gonna need to explain that one? How do you get 3 to 5 games out of one dry cleaning. Do you have 5 pants?

Without getting too descriptive, just take my word for the fact that I can't get but one wearing out of any of my clothes. I sweat profusely from head to toe.

Okay, I get it. You have them press heavy starch or something like this, and you machine wash them 3 or 4 times before you need to take them back to the cleaners for another starch and press treatment. Please share the details if this is something that works for you. I for one would be interested in knowing.

Peace

If you are looking for the Hagar pants...get yourself a copy of the JC Penny mailorder catalog and order from there. They are more easily attainable through the catalog rather than the store.

I said 4 pair of pants - they don't get sweaty. I rotate every game, that's why I can get additional wears out of them. That's also why I said between 3 and 5 wears per pair. Sometimes 3 before they need cleaned sometimes 4 sometimes 5. Of course if I'm in a gym with the heat turned up and the sweat pours off of me it's only one. It's an average. Do you clean yours after every game?

Yes, except for the rare occasions when I work a DH.
