I’ve had my American Giant No BS Pant since February 2019, over 3 years, and they are still in great condition. In my How Well Does It Age reviews I focus on an item that I’ve owned a long time like this one. Is it barely hanging on for dear life or has it stood the test of time? Some items even get better with age.
My American Giant No BS Pant have stood the test of time and still look and wear great. Read on for more details.
Back in 2019 this item was called The Pant and may have had slight differences from the current No BS Pant.
3+ years
Wear & Tear
These pants look about as good as new. I wear them several times a month and have traveled with them extensively.
- No repairs needed
- No stretching
- Almost no visible piling
- Color has not faded
- No special care, I just threw these in the regular laundry (which is usually cold, but sometimes hot)
The Only Downside: Synthetic Fibers
I try to mainly buy natural fibers like cotton and linen, but there is no way to make stretch pants without synthetic fibers. The American Giant No BS Pant is made from modal, nylon, and spandex. Synthetic fibers can contribute to microplastic pollution. This can be mitigated by washing them in a Guppyfriend bag or installing a filter in your washer.
Why I Love American Giant’s No BS Pant
The American Giant No BS Pant is one of the first items I reach for when making an outfit. They feel like leggings (comfortable!) but are much thicker and look less casual. I’ve worn them with more formal items like blazers and more casual items like tees. American Giant’s products are also made in the US.
Back when I bought them I thought they were kind of on the expensive side, especially for synthetic fibers. However, they’ve outlived many, many other cheaper stretch pants and leggings.
I highly recommend investing in any of American Giant’s pants.
Verdict: Highly recommended
