“Same issue that others have had with the shrinkage after washing. I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. They were great the time I wore them before washing, but now fit more like leggings! I would recommend that American Tall remove them from their site, because they are such a disappointment compared to the quality of other American Tall products.”

“The only reason I am giving a 2 instead of a 1 is because when you wear them before washing they are AMAZING! However washing them, even when following the care instructions, leads to some very laughable looking pants. I literally called my best friend and we were crying laughing at how they came out.....the length did not shrink, but the crepe like material shrivels up making them extremely tight on all parts of your legs until you get to the bottom where they flare out. Like everyone else has said, having spent a good amount of money on them, it's super disappointing.
Now for some solutions because I was determined to make these pants continue to work (even though you shouldn't have to work this hard for pants lol). I rewashed them in cold water to get them wet again, after taking them out of the washer, I stretched them out until my arms hurt. I then two of the three hanging bags on a hamper I have off and scrunched the legs of the pants up on the metal piece that holds the hamper. This created a hold for keeping the pants WIDE as they dried. After almost dried, I then stretched them out by hand again and laid them flat to dry the rest of the way. They were still a little bit tighter in the butt than before I washed them, but stretched out throughout the day.
Long story short, if you get these be prepared to try to wear them as much as humanly possible before washing them. Then be prepared to work really hard after they come out of the wash. May even try hand washing next time. I was determined to get my money's worth out of these though.”

“Upon opening, I was initially thrilled with these pants. I got an extra tall as I typically wear a 36” inseam. They were much too long for me so I took them to be tailored. With one look, my seamstress said “those will draw up, you should wash them before I hem them”. I took the pants home (with not alterations made), washed them on delicate with cold water (as indicated on the label), and they came out of the wash so TERRIBLY MISSHAPEN that if I hadn’t spent so much money on them, it’d be comical. I have laid them out to air dry but I am not very optimistic. I didn’t even get the opportunity to wear them! As a customer that has made several purchases from American Tall, I insist you beware of buying these pants!”

“Loved these pants until I washed them and they shrunk! Completely unwearable and so sad to lose these. They were the perfect summer pant before I was obsessed!”

“I loved these initially but DON’T wash them! I followed the care instructions to a “T” and they shrunk down to skinny bell bottom flares on me! Awful for the amount of money you spend on these. I wish I could add a picture because honestly it’s laughable. I don’t know how they are still selling these with the amount of complaints.”

“Yes, they shrink after washing. But if you give them good ironing, they restore the form. Not just steaming, but ironing with pressure. I even put them into the dryer. The material is resistant to low hit. Give it a try. I have a picture before and after, but unfortunately I can not paste it here.”
“I rarely leave reviews but the poor quality and hours of work it takes to make this pant suit wearable after washing led me to want to warn others. I wore this one and washed on low spin, cold water, low rinse using delicate detergent. As others have stated the top and bottom came out looking like toddler clothes. I gently reshaped the items while wet and allowed them to dry flat. You can use a cool iron to attempt to get them back to the size of purchase, however this took hours, upon hours, and they still are not right. The issue is mostly the waist band shrunk and the cuffs of the sleeves shrunk and neither will lengthen with the iron. Beyond that, the quality of the sewing is very poor. Threads are unraveling on the cuffs of the pants, inside the band of pants and on the exterior by both pant pockets. Save yourself the money and time and buy from somewhere else.”
