Mistake with the sizing. Uncomfortably small

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

I have purchased these in the past and I think they were just called All Cotton Trunks, I buy them because I don’t get on with pants that contain elastane. I couldn’t find the essentials in blue in store so I ordered them online for collection in store. Delivery was quick but having tried them on they are at least one size too small. I have purchased ‘large’ because that it my normal size, my waist is just under 36” and size large says waist ‘36-38’. I can’t do much about it now as I have worn 2 pairs so can’t really take them back but I definitely won’t buy again. I would like to think the size information printed on them is a mistake as it was probably done on the other side of the world.

I have always bought these for my husband and son as they were such good quality and value. The product has changed. The material has no stretch at all. Going to order 2 sizes up to see are they any better. Very disappointed

Well made, good quality fabric, slim fit so returned medium size, exchanged for large as my husband preferred them slightly looser

Great Trunks

I usually wear loose boxer shorts. However I needed something for some more fitted trousers. I've tried other trucks before and found them too tight round my thighs - no problem with these, very comfortable and great value for money

My husband was unhappy with these trunks. After a couple of hours of wear the legs became extremely baggy and uncomfortable.

Not as good as they used to be. Material is thinner and they are slightly smaller, so husband says.

Good for a low plastic lifestyle, love them

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

From what I can tell, the only plastic is the elastic but it's fully enclosed in cotton, so not touching my skin and not shedding any microplastics. Otherwise, all cotton. Really happy with them, good value

Disappointing quality and sizing problems

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

Having purchased my underwear from M&S for many years it is sad to find that these are of much lesser quality than previous items, particularly the coarseness of the stitching. Plus the sizing is all over the place - I am a slim(ish) 34" waist, and would usually take a medium size - but had to take an XL in this style to get a comfortable fit. So in summary: OK for the price but don't think I will be purchasing them again.

Have worn these button fly shorts for many years and find them very comfortable and durable. The button fly front is so much more convenient.
