I don't agree that Sloggis last forever. They used to , but the ones I've bought recently have all gone the same way with the elastic tearing away from the cloth at the waistline. I shan't buy them anymore because at £10 per pair I expect better quality. I've bought another variety online at less thank half the price, not glamorous but really comfortable and so far they show no sign of wearing out.
I used to wear high waist Sloggies, but totally agree about the elastic coming away from the waistband. Now buy a cheaper brand, Arista from the Original Factory Shop, but they seldom have my size, always plenty of the really large sizes. Much cheaper, don’t feel as substantial as some brands, but comfy and good ish value.
