Boys' Wool Rich Adjustable Waist Supercrease™ Pleat Front Straight Leg Trousers with Stormwear+™

We recently bought a pair of shorts where the elastic adjustment had a kind of soft 'placket' over the button. I think this would be an excellent idea for these trousers as LO finds the buttons so uncomfortable. I was desperately trying to find a product with little chemical additives, or Teflon... and these are the only ones I could find without Teflon. However the wool is not finished particularly well... I expected suiting fabric, but they seem a lower quality, scratchier version.

Awful quality - paper thin

I struggle to find trousers that fit nicely on my son who is very tall for his age but these trousers are perfect. Most school trousers hang around the bottom or give a bugle at the front, these trousers however allow you to adjust the waist and the Length with a hidden seam that can be brought down to give more length. The grey is the standard grey colour that you get. The material isn't as smooth as some others but given a wash or 2 it's perfect. The fit is what really sells this trouser, it doesn't hang off the bum it sits smart and fits the way trousers should. Please don't be put off by other reviews I've tried a few of m&s trousers and these are by far the best for withstanding playground games and the occasional fall.

Dreadful material, itchy, scratchy, my son hated wearing them, such a waste of money !

the fabric was too rough, my son could not get them off quick enough as he said they 'felt scratchy' This is a shame as they are a perfect fit and he does not want to wear the slim fit school trousers, the leg width is much more comfortable for every day school wear than a straight fitted leg.

I am undecided on these trousers. They look quite smart but after one wear my son complained that they were scratchy which he hadn't done with previous, different trousers from M&S. I am hoping a wash will sort them out. I find the size of school trousers huge. My son at 4.5 years (and admittedly not tall but he doesn't stand out as minute) is wearing size 2-3 years.

The trousers fitted well but my son fell in the playground at school and this resulted in a large hole in the knee of the trousers. I have never had this problem before with any school trousers as boys being boys suffer many falls. I have now had to discard the trouser as the hole was too large to repair.

The grey colour was strange, too light and the fabric is very thin. I plan to return them. Not up to the usual M&S standard, very disappointed.

Do not buy! I bought two pairs, one for my 5year old and one for my 8 year old. Both now have unrepairable holes in knees. My 5 year old's trousers only lasted two weeks! They are a bit itchy, no lining and material is too thin. Oh and on one pair the adjustable hem came unravelled within weeks. Awful!

Lovely good quality trousers. Are a little bit pricey than most trousers but hang very well on my skinny son and last several terms.

I've bought many pairs of wool rich trousers from M&S and they have been excellent. These however are different and I would say inferior. My son won't wear them and says they are itchy. I have washed several times and put through tumble dryer but they are just the same. I don't think M&S do any other wool rich school trousers so I will have to look at other makes. This is a shame as my son is only 5 and has many school years ahead of him. Bring back the styles I bought in 2013 as they are much better please.

Always buy my grandson school trousers from M&S, but these were the 1st wool blend - never again - fell over first time he wore them and they now need a patch (has fallen over before in other M&S school trousers without them going into a hole!!).

The trousers were delivered very quickly and exactly as described. Will definitely shop again.

I bought three pairs of these trousers for the autumn term, all three pairs had worn a hole in the knee by December, extremely disappointed as I've always bought the wool blend m&s due to the lasting quality and look. These are now much thinner and therefore 3 pairs haven't lasted even a term!
