Wool flannel trousers and durability
Hello, I have switched to wearing wool flannel trousers during the colder days of the year. I like that they are warm and can be dressed down since I don’t usually have a reason to dress formally. Unfortunately, I’m experiencing durability issues.
My pair from Bonobos developed pilling near the crotch which I chalked to Bonobos being a lower quality vendor. But, now my pair from O’Connells has developed a pretty big hole. I called them and they offered to repair it for free but I would be responsible for shipping both ways. They said that it’s normal for the weave.
Is this true? Should I be looking for a different weave? Or should I be looking for a different fit?
