The product is amazing
The product is amazing! It makes a middle aged man feel young, sporty and professional. I have literally worn my all day joggers to business meetings, during video shoots, etc. Hands down the most comfortable pant I have ever worn. Get yourself a pair now!

I am a big fan of Public Rec clothing
I am a big fan of Public Rec clothing. Fit is a big deal for me. I am tall and thin and the fact that I can choose my waist and inseam sizes on their pants is not easy to come by with other brands. Especially with zippered pockets. The ADED pants are perfect for what I need. I can wear them to work and home. With the faux fly in front and non-baggy fit, they look like a dressier pant but are soft and comfortable as any sweat pant.

All Day Every Day pants
I've hesitated in purchasing the All Day Every Day pants for quite some time as I was continually asking myself if they were worth the price. Been looking for some comfortable every day pants for quite some time. A few months ago I thought why not and ordered a pair to try them out I ordered from the mens section as I prefer more "boyfriend" style pants than the usual womens cut. When the pants arrived I tried them on and they fit perfectly, good soft medium weight fabric that felt light to wear and looked very smart. They wash well too. These are the kind of pants I will wear practically everywhere as theyre so versatile and look just as smart as my usual "smart" pants, way more comfortable than jeans ... that i've pretty much given up on now.... and a step above trackpants. I was so happy with the fit and quality of the first pair that I immediately ordered 3 more pairs and just now another 2 pairs in different colours. Theyre not cheap but with the amount of wear Im going to give them they will represent good value.

Great company, great quality, excellent support
Great company. Great quality all day pants. Fast shipping. I bought multiples to try out the different sizes. Their return policy was easy. Highly recommend this company.

This was the 2nd time I ordered from Public Rec
This was only the send time I ordered from Public Rec but I liked their pants so I wanted to order some shorts. This was a substantial order and it was supposed to go out overnight I placed it at 10am, well I never received any shipping info so I called customer service and my order was still in their warehouse the next day. Why have overnight as an option if you are not going to ship overnight. Canceled the order and will take my business elsewhere.

Premium pricing for less than premium quality
A few years back, I bought a pair of the "all day every day" pant and within 1 year, the under-crotch seam opened up about 3 inches. These $98 or so pants do not leave the house anymore. Even today, it seems as though PRec is still evolving in their designs, materials, and quality when us customers would have expected these things to have already been fine-tuned prior to release- especially at this price point.

Public rec my go to brand
I started with a pair of aded pants and now own a pair in almost every color, moved on and bought there polo and now buying the tee shirts. I also own 2 pairs of shorts. I have also bought aded pants for both my older kids. Are they expensive, yes! Are they worth it Yes! Most comfortable pants you will ever wear and they hold up well. I have a few pairs well over 2 years and they look as good as the new ones
I just bought. I am tall so I appreciate odd sizing like 34x36 pants. Never had an issue or defect with the clothing. Overall this is an amazing brand and can not recommend highly enough. Last thing zippered front pockets genius. I lose my phone out of my pant's but not my public recs

I love the Public Rec clothing line
I love the Public Rec clothing line! My adult daughter bought me a Polo for Christmas and I love the fit and fabric. I've since bought several Go To Crews, Polos, long sleeve casual shirts and pants. They all fit great, keep their shape, are easy to wash and don't wrinkle up. You can wear them to the office, casually with friends and just around the house. I recommend giving them a try! You won't be disappointed!

Bad quality
Bad quality. I bought a pair and after the first wash, the pocket completely detached. For this price, the quality should be much better.
Bad bad service.
I should have checked reviews before placing an order. It took more than two weeks for the order to arrive. If they cant deliver the product as promised why are they in this business or atleast tell upfront of shipping delays.
At least they refunded the order. Now have to go through the hassle of return.
Such a bad service.
Superhero
If you have ever dreamed of being a superhero buy The Everyday Pant and you will instantly become “The Human Lintbrush”. I kid you not, I have never seen anything like it. I received a pair as a Christmas gift, tried them on, thought that they were so great, that I was ready to order a second pair in a different color. Then I wore them. Within 30 minutes, every fiber, hair, and piece of dust within a square mile was part of my wardrobe. Other than that, I love the feel, fit, design, it’s sad. I just took them out of the wash for the third time since I’ve had them, and at this point, we are going to have to part ways. Even when I’m home alone, I can’t stand to look at myself in them.
Defective pocket zipper ... times two!
Bought a pair of Public Rec joggers a few months ago. The zipper in the left pocket detached. Was glued on instead of sewn. I sent them back and got a store credit. I decided to give them one more try. Same thing happened with the next pair. Wore them three times and the zipper detached again. Time for a redesign of that zipper. I recommend you spend the few cents more and have them sewn in ... or get rid of the zipper completely.
Fussy Guy More than Satisfied
I am 78 and still enjoy quality, versatile clothing but without the "papa look". Public Rec quality is simply off-the-charts excellent, and well worth the wait due to supply constraints in the pandemic. Specifically, I give the everyday pants full marks, and thru to size (don't size up). The Henley turned out to be a bit athletic (tight) for my build, which I will return under Pubic Rec's excellent return and postage paid policy. My next step is to send my son's-in-law gift certificates so they can equally enjoy.

Number 1 for comfort and quality
I have made multiple purchases from public rec following a lengthy search for super comfort. They are the best quality and amazing to wear. It’s Ll I seem to wear during lockdown.
Delivery from US is not the quickest but a few weeks and it’s worth the wait.

Warning. Don't expect to receive the products you order.
(Edited)
Public Rec took a full month to deliver two items. Both were incorrect. Neither products nor sizes were correct.
Now I have to go through the bother of returning the delivered items. I wonder whether I will ever receive my refund. They should be refunding me for the waste of my time as well.

Public Rec has now responded to my review with a nonsensical apology about shipping delays that does not address the fact that I RECEIVED THE WRONG PRODUCTS and have to spend time to return them without any further compensation.

Pants not worth it
I got 2 pairs of the pants because they seemed exactly what I'd like from the ads but, for the price, I was disappointed. They're heavy and baggy, not a nice fit even though I got the size I get for all my pants. Feels like wearing the bottom of a wetsuit. They definitely don't work with a shirt at work as advertised either.. They're very obviously tracksuit pants. I had high hopes but if I saw them in a store for half the price I wouldn't be interested. Thats the risk you take with online shopping I guess..

Disappointed …
Decent product but horrible shipping and customer service. I made an exchange and week later they still have not shipped replacement. They say it is on its way but FedEx tracking shows that label was created but shipment has not been given to fedex. Expensive item but they ship cheap long and this time they are not shipping at all. Try Ministry of Supply, better product and customer service.
IN RESPONSE to vendors comment: that is not what your rep told me, they tried to tell me that item was shipped and will arrive Saturday, which was clearly not true, they just did not want to deal with me. Here is response: Thanks for reaching out! Sorry to hear that you haven't received any update about the order. I'd be happy to assist.
Saw this order was submitted on December 8th and the package was shipped the next day (December 9th). Upon checking this FedEx tracking number 781112367980, the estimated delivery date of the package is today, December 12th.

Amazing Joggers, Great Experience
I ordered a few pairs of Joggers over Black Friday. Not only was the ordering process super efficient, but I received my order in like 2 days. I have been wearing my joggers every day since. They are so comfortable and look great. I've washed a pair them as well and they came out of the laundry as good as they went in.
I would 100% recommend buying them. I will certainly be buying more products in the future.

Buyer beware
I am concerned that the negative reviews on their famed ADED pant won’t be posted to their website, tsk I’m writing here. I bought these pants six months ago and the material is beginning to deteriorate and become pilly like you would expect from some $15 generic sweatpants not $100 public rec pants. I reached to customer service with some back and forth they offered me 10% off a future order. In short the quality leaves much to be desired and they don’t stand behind their products to allow me to exchange them. The email I got said that I purchased my pants “way back in May (2020)” I’m sorry if I expect $100 pants to last six months without feeling like my old high school sweats. Buyer beware.

Awesome clothes!
The clothes fit really well, look great and last. I have brought everything from tops to pants to backpacks. I have not found any t-shirts or polo shirts that come close to the Public Rec look and feel.
