Boys Flat Front Wool Blend Trousers with Stormwear+™

I looked at all the reviews for the school trousers as my 15 yr old son is tall & very thin. I chose these trousers on the strength of reviews & the fact that they have some wool in them. I have to say that they are horribly shiney but my son doesn't seem to care! I've tightened the waist band quite a lot but this morning I thought they looked like they might fall off so I hope they will tighten further!!

My son prefered these to the skinny ones. They have the ability to hang off his bottom with a low belt !!! Good quality, zipped back pocket so good for pocket money.

I purchased these wool blend trousers having been happy with them from the previous year. I thought the material felt rather thin and then looked at the content-hardly any wool in the wool blend trousers, unlike last year. I will be returning them for a refund. Disappointing

I was very disappointed with this years wool blend trousers. The wool content is tiny, 13% compared to 45% last year. There is no mention on the website of the material composition. The material looks thinner and does not look or feel as good. I have always bought M&S wool blend trousers for school as they are harder wearing (the last pair lasted a year) on the knees compared other products. The size has also change so I will have to return the pair I have bought for a smaller size.

I, along with many other reviewers of this product, have been buying M&S wool-blend trousers for many years & found them to be an excellent product. They looked good from the start of the school year to the end. However, I am not so sure this will be the case with the wool-blend trousers I've bought this year. The material feels harsh & the wool content negligible. Why do you have to change a great product? I am also unhappy with the sizing. Age 4-5 is huge compared to other M&S trousers which, if anything, have been on the small side for the age range. Having to keep this size for next year & purchase smaller ones for this year. Silver lining is that you won't be getting my money for no. 2 son's trousers next year!!

Bought these for my son last year and they were of fantastic quality. This year I am shocked at the poor quality. Material feels fine, fit and sizing quite good, but I had to return the two pairs I bought within the first few days of my child wearing them. My son is quite slim and on the first day back to school when adjusting the elasticated waist the elastic ripped! I noticed that the elastic seems of much poorer quality than on the pair I purchased last year. Moving onto the second pair, he wore them for two days after which I noticed that the hem had not been sewn fully on the bottom of one of the trouser legs! Have been really inconvenienced with these problems. M & S, we come to you for quality, please, please provide it!

These are the best school trousers I've found for my son. They are hardwearing (very) and always look smart. The wool fabric makes them more comfortable and breathable. Definitely recommend this great product.

I've purchased M&S wool-blend boys school trousers for several years, and been really pleased with the quality. They lasted all year. I ordered this year's trousers on-line as our nearest M&S store (40 mile round trip away in Perth, made a special journey) unusually had hardly any back-to-school stock in, as 'everyone purchases on-line these days' said the sales assistant. The quality wasn't what I expected - just 13% wool this year as opposed to 45% last year. I bought age 8, based on the on-line size guide, for my tall 8 year old (who is taller in fact fact that the standard 8 year old envisaged in the M&S sizing guide) but the trousers were massive, at least 8 cm too long, and pooled round his feet.

Very disappointed that your have modified these trousers. I regularly bought these due to the wool content, being more breathable, warmer in winter, and simply they looked better and didn't deteriorate through wear and tear in the same way that your synthetic ones did. Your other trousers wear at the knee whereas these didn't. When will you stop changing what works? Focus on getting your quality right and price accordingly rather than reducing quality to make them cheaper to buy. I won't be buying these any longer.

Fabric is not too bad. soft but not worth for money with less wool contain...! something to think about. what about wool trousers with pleat on?
