I’ve been ordering this particular pair of pants for years. I honestly live in them at this point and here’s what I’ve figured out- there’s no consistency. It’s very much hit or miss but I’ve found that it’s about 75% hit and when it does…I’ve had so many people ask where I’ve gotten these from because they look so much like jeans- both the blue and the black. They’re super comfortable and they last quite a while. If you get a miss (and trust me I have) you’ll know cause the grommets are meant for thicker fabric so they stick out and get caught on things. You can still wear the pants but they won’t last as long and you have to be more aware of the hardware one your pants. Last two pairs I bought, grommets were not a problem. I’ve tried a loooot of different jeggings over the years but these are hands down my favorite. Honestly, worth the chance
