Pants (lemmy.world)

Im looking for some pants. My wife has been repairing mine for a couple years now, but some of them are coming apart at the seams. I got mine really cheap. Im willing to spend if it means they are repairable and made better. Any suggestions?

I picked up some Prana jeans recently that I really like, but I haven't had them long enough to make a BIFL recommendation. If anyone has experience with the brand, I would be interested in hearing about it.

I've had a fair amount of Prana clothing that I've worn extensively. It is some of the most comfortable stuff I own but most of the pants are starting to wear out. I'm not sure exactly how old they are but I would guess 3-5 years and generally heavy use.

Specifically I think I have Bridger jeans and Vaha pants but I could be mistaken about the branding.

I have a Prana zip up hood that I've had for like 3 years. Moderate use. Looks good still after a decent amount of wear but I don't really wash it much so I don't know about color fading from that.
