Haggar Cool 18 Pro Classic Fit Pleat Front Pant (Style RS6V)

Our review of the Haggar Cool 18 Pro Classic Fit Pleat Front pant finds it best suited to men who need a comfortable, low-maintenance dress pant for work or weekend outings. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric performance: the COOL 18 PRO blend offers 4-way stretch, moisture wicking and wrinkle resistance so these pants stay comfortable and presentable through long days. The hidden expandable waistband also makes them forgiving at the waist, so they remain comfortable after a meal or during travel.

Key Features

• COOL 18 PRO fabric: 4-way stretch keeps movement unrestricted for office tasks, commuting and rounds on the golf course.
• Moisture wicking and breathable: the material pulls sweat away from skin to help you stay cool in warm conditions.
• Hidden expandable waistband: stretches up to 3 in to maintain comfort and a secure fit through changing waist size during the day.
• No-iron, wrinkle resistant: fabric resists creasing so the pants look neat with minimal care after machine washing.
• Classic pleat front: a relaxed fit through hip and thigh that sits at or below the waist for a traditional dress silhouette.
• Practical details: offseam front pockets, single welt back pocket, roll hem and a shirt gripper help with daily wear and keeping shirts tucked.

Who It's For

These pants are aimed at men who need a dependable dress pant for business-casual offices, travel or golf where comfort and low maintenance matter most. The classic fit and pleated front make them suitable for those who prefer a traditional cut rather than a slim, tapered profile.

Shoppers looking for a very premium-feeling wool or heavy suiting fabric should look elsewhere, and those who want an ultra-slim modern fit may find the relaxed hip and straight leg too roomy. Also, buyers sensitive to fabric hand should note reviews vary on material feel.
