Haggar E-CLO Repreve Stria Pleat Front Dress Pant (Style OJ5E)

In this review of the Haggar E-CLO Repreve Stria Pleat Front Dress Pant the bottom line is simple: these are dress pants for men who want a sharp, low-maintenance office pant made from recycled materials. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a clean pleat-front silhouette with a hidden expandable waistband that adds comfort without spoiling a tailored look. The reviewer found the fabric smooth, the permanent crease crisp, and the machine-washable construction a practical win for everyday wear.

Key Features

• Sustainable fabric: Made with REPREVE recycled fiber so you get a dress pant made from recycled polyester that reduces waste without compromising appearance.
• Pleat-front styling: The pleat front and permanent crease deliver a traditional, professional look that stays sharp through a workday.
• Hidden expandable waistband: The waistband allows up to 3' of stretch for added mid-section comfort during long days or after meals.
• No-iron convenience: The fabric resists wrinkles so these pants look ready-to-wear straight from the machine.
• Easy care: Machine washable construction makes these pants low-effort for regular rotation at the office or on travel.

Who It's For

The Haggar E-CLO Stria pleat-front pant is aimed at men who need reliable business or business-casual trousers that are easy to care for and comfortable across a full day. It suits professionals who prefer a traditional pleated silhouette and who value sustainability in fabric choices.

Those who need a very slim, fashion-forward fit or specialized performance fabrics (heavy-duty stretch for athletic wear) should look elsewhere, as this pant is described as a classic fit and focuses on polished appearance and easy care over extreme athletic stretch.
