Gala Pant
About The Row’s pants: The Row cuts quiet, precisely tailored trousers in cloths from cotton and stretch cady to British wool flannel, silk-linen, and wool-cashmere, mostly priced from the mid hundreds to over three thousand dollars. The bias-cut Gala is the style owners and reviewers discuss most.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The Gala Pant is The Row's bias-cut, wide-leg trouser with a slim gathered elastic waistband, sold in stretch cady plus wool-flannel, silk-linen, and wool-cashmere versions. Owners praise how the bias cut drapes like tailoring while wearing like loungewear: it holds its shape through long days and travels well. The honest caveat is that the signature cady version is a synthetic blend at $1,190, and even owners who love it concede the fabric alone does not explain the price.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- The signature version is a stretch cady listed as 69% triacetate and 31% polyester, and the brand cuts the same shape in British wool flannel, silk-linen, and wool-cashmere cloths.
- Fit
- The bias cut and slim gathered elastic waistband produce a wide, fluid leg that owners describe as unusually flattering and easy to wear for long stretches. The elasticated waist makes fit between sizes forgiving.
- Quality
- Owner reports say the pants keep their shape through repeated wear and are not delicate. One independent close inspection of the brand's trousers still flagged a metal zipper that was not color-matched, calling it odd at this price.
- Best for
- Right for someone who wants one dressed-up wide-leg trouser comfortable enough to travel and lounge in, and who accepts paying a label premium to get it.
- Care
- Owners report the cady version is low-maintenance and travel-tolerant, but dry cleaning and steaming rather than machine washing is the safe default for these cloths.
How The Row pants hold up overall
Owners describe The Row's pants as comfortable and well made, with one reviewer of the pull-on Gala style calling them extremely comfortable and noting the fabric drapes flatteringly enough to dress up or down over an elastic waist. Value is the recurring dispute: critics point out that some four-figure styles are polyester, with one reviewer refusing to spend that much on what she called essentially plastic trousers, and another finding the collection often too basic to warrant the cost even while crediting its mostly natural-fiber fabrics. The one practical ownership complaint reported is dye transfer onto light-colored shoes.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently report the pants feel comfortable while reading as tailored, with well-made construction and flattering drape.
- Watch out for
- The recurring complaint is price-to-fabric mismatch — some four-figure styles are synthetic — plus one owner's report of color transfer onto light shoes.
