I have been wearing these pants for many years. I still have a few pairs that are probably 8 years old and still in good shape for being worn a couple hundred times. I bought two new pairs in January and one of the buttons snapped while unbuttoning it today. It feels like it’s made out of thin tin. The old buttons were riveted on and much more robust. The new buttons are a thin metal disc held on by a fabric strap. The stitching has been going downhill for years as well. I’m kind of bummed, but I need to find a new everyday pant. I could not recommend these to anyone. I do like the built in cinch since I hate wearing a belt. This is the new crappy button: https://imgur.com/a/1ihKP7y
