I ask my friend to bring the pants that I loaned him last time. I say:

A promise is a promise, and you said you'd bring my pants, so if you don't bring it this time, I would/will very disappointed.

Are both will and would useable here?

Never heard of the verb "disappointed". Perhaps you mean "be disappointed" or "get disappointed" or "become disappointed"?

If you don't bring my pants, I will be disappointed."
If you didn't bring my pants, I would be disappointed."
This pattern is worth remembering, as it occurs a lot.

I use 'lend' for the verb and 'loan' for the noun. If I lend you my pants, I have given you a loan of my pants.
