From Older Offspring after a discussion of coffee:
"If it doesn't come from the Kaffa province of Ethiopia, it's just hot roasted-bean juice."
FWIW, the jeans the LAPG pants are based on are a solid product.

I haven't tried to remove the offending faux leather patch. It should be almost completely obscured by a 1.5" belt. At this price, I'll endeavor to persevere.
I will report back after some use. From the Big Empty, ELN.

As stated upthread I ordered two pairs based on the posts from @Wyoming Shooter and others. Pants arrived today, 3 days after ordering. Initial impressions:
Size 30" x 30" seems comparable to most brands I wear.
Flex is ok. Not as stretchy as my Kuhl Radkl (the gold standard of stretchy, IMO) but I can squat ass to grass without issues.
Front pockets seem robustly constructed and easily digest a J frame in an Aholster Backbone.
Leather patch is dark color and doesn't contrast sharply with the grey and grey fabrics. Its covered by my belt and shirttail anyway.
Leg width is ok - not skinny but not fudd either.
Was worried about shrinkage. Washed them in cold and tumble dried them on hot, removed them when they were almost dry. Minimal shrinkage in legs and waist. They stretch out a little after wearing, as you'd expect with flex fabric.
Wore them for a 35 min circuit workout, they were comfortable and plenty flexible. Not quite as comfy as my Kuhl Radkl pants, but the LAPG are 33% of the price of the Kuhls, and probably a bit more durable.
I'm gonna say they're a solid purchase.
ETA: the low profile hip pockets will each accommodate one 30 round AR mag. So I'm told.

I concur with Mark's initial Impressions. At $33/pair on sale, these are a good value. The stretchy waistband should be a benefit to those carrying IWB. Durability remains to be determined. The fabric weight should be appropriate for year-round wear. On the downside, country of origin is China. From the Big Empty, ELN.

I have been wearing pants from Livsn the last six months, and enjoying them.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
The big patch was easy to remove. It’s just sewn on without any adhesive.

How are they wearing? Better than less expensive pants you've worn. I kind of cringe at paying more than $70.00 for hack around pants.
