![]() ![]() Unfortunately, it allows Lululemon, Public Rec, and other athleisure brands to charge $100 for a pair of joggers that it costs a fraction to make. It allows Nike to charge hundreds of dollars for shoes that cost a tenth of that to make all-in with overhead costs. ![]() Brand premium allows Apple to charge double for their phones than comparable Android brands. We talk a lot about brand premium internally at Rugged Black. Not noticing that men and women consumers are fundamentally different buyers. In a mad dash to create the next “Lululemon for Men,” every athleisure brand went to the same playbook. The only thing I couldn’t get over was the price. I finally took the plunge and spent $100 on a pair of sweatpants.Īs soon as I tried them on, I was hooked. ![]() Like many of you, I was bombarded with daily Facebook ads to try their gear. They changed the game with the All Day Everyday Pants. Public Rec makes some of the best pants/joggers in the market. If you want to try a pair of our bestselling pants, use promo code BLOGPR20 for 20% off. I have a feeling the ABC pants will remain the king though.Can you tell which one is Public Rec's ADED Pants from Rugged Black's Everyday Flex Athleisure Pants? My Clothing Arts pants are still on order, so I’m waiting for them next. Btw, I had chosen the charcoal gray color. Comment below and I can give you one of my $20 codes. (5/24/18 Looks like they pulled the referral link. And if you do want to try them out, use this referral for $20 off the pants. They come with a 30 day free return policy, so if you don’t like them, then you can easily return. For you readers who don’t care about that, then I would recommend these pants to you. The reason for that is because I couldn’t see myself walking into a fancy sushi place with these pants whereas the ABC pants are more than adequate. I was going to try them out on my trip to New York, but at the last minute decided not to. The side zippered pockets and pockets in back were awesome though. They also looked a tad bit too much like sweats more than dress pants. Like if the F cabin was Asiana hot, then I could see myself sweating and wanting to take them off ASAP. The reason for that is because the pants felt too “thick” for my liking. However, that excitement faded very quickly. When I got them in, I was very excited to try them on. The company shipped out the pants the next day via USPS Priority and I got them within 2 days. He had a $20 referral code for both he and I, and so I was able to get the pants for $75, which I thought was reasonable. A reader sent me a link to these Public Rec All Day Every Day pants. Right now, I’m still wearing the Lululemon ABC pants they seem to be the leading candidate right now. Introductionįor long time readers, you know I am still looking for the perfect travel pants. But if I’m traveling and knowing I’ll be going to a nice restaurant, I’m leaving them at home just because they aren’t dressy enough in my opinion. ![]() I could see myself wearing them to the mall in the winter time. I then put my phone in the pocket and sat down and sure enough, they bulged like these pants, which leads me to believe it’s the material/style of pants that makes things bulges.Īnyway, I’ve decided to keep the pants instead of returning them. I even went to try them on for shits and giggles just to compare them to the Public Rec pants. Yes, the Lulu Discipline pants are almost identical to these pants from the side zippers to the flap over back pockets. Now, I will say I did go into a Lululemon store in Chicago and saw what I thought were the exact pair of pants. I’ve never noticed this before in the pants I’ve owned, but I’ve also never worn a pair of pants like this before. See picture below of a pair of Airpods in my pocket. Another issue that sorta bothered me was that due to the material, you could see the phone bulge in your pants. If you’re mostly flying domestic, I think they are perfectly fine. However, like I said before, they do feel a bit thick so if you’re in a hot airplane cabin, this could be an issue. Like I said before, the pants are nicer than walking around in sweats or track pants, but I still wouldn’t wear them into Alinea (which I wore my Lulu ABC pants in.) They are definitely stylish and comfortable. I took a redeye to Chicago, and so it was the perfect time to try the pants on. Instead of creating a new post, I’m going to append to my old post (old post below) I finally got around to taking the pair of pants for a spin this past weekend. ![]()
