Haggar Men's E-CLO Repreve Stria Pleat Front Dress Pant (Style 0608)

Our review of the Haggar E-CLO Repreve Stria Pleat Front Dress Pant finds it best suited for men who need polished workwear with low fuss care and an eco-conscious fabric story. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a permanent pleat/no-iron finish and a hidden expandable waistband that adds up to professional looks with practical comfort. This pant blends a classic fit silhouette with recycled fiber construction, so buyers get a dress pant that feels like traditional suiting but washes in a machine and keeps its crease.

Key Features

• Sustainable fiber: Made with REPREVE recycled polyester so you can feel good about choosing fabric created from recycled bottles.
• Comfort waistband: A hidden expandable waistband provides up to 3' of mid-section stretch for comfort during long days or after meals.
• No-iron finish: The permanent crease keeps a sharp pleat front look without ironing after machine washing and hanging to dry.
• Easy care: Machine washable construction lets you launder at home and avoid frequent trips to the dry cleaner.
• Classic fit styling: Pleat front and hook-and-bar closure deliver a traditional dress pant silhouette that pairs with shirts or polos.
• Durable blend: A polyester and recycled polyester mix resists wrinkles and maintains a smooth fabric hand over repeated wears.

Who It's For

This pant is ideal for office professionals, salespeople, or anyone who needs a neat, professional appearance with minimal maintenance; the washable, no-iron fabric and permanent crease make it simple to stay sharp. It also works well for golfers or weekend wearers who want a tailored look with room to move thanks to the expandable waistband.

Shoppers seeking natural fibers like wool or cotton for breathability or those who prefer a modern slim cut should look elsewhere, since this is a classic fit, polyester-forward dress pant designed for easy care and durability rather than a lightweight natural fiber feel.
