Slim Fit Smart Travel Chinos with Stretch

Totally delighted: excellent value and bonus active waist. Smartened up instantly.

Great chinos overall, but not long before I was feeling less well-off than I thought I should be! Just don't put loose change in the pockets - it will disappear down the settee cushions if the wife doesn't find it first. Cost me a fortune so far. Re-design the pockets please.

Husband didnt like slim fit design

Bought for my very fussy husband as a present and he is delighted with them. Been looking for something similar for ages.

These are my husband's fave trousers since they are only a little less comfortable than sweatpants, but he can wear them to work without getting disapproving looks. The material is soft and relatively stretchy - not as stretchy as M&S girl jeans though. Importantly, the chinos don't seem to stretch with wear. We have found that they don't wash well with washing powder, but liquitabs are fine. I think they look fine without ironing: black is very forgiving.

Very nice pair of trousers from M&S but production / quality concerns with this style. Had purchased two pairs and on both the seam on the back pocket corner had come apart after 1 week and had to return. Seems common issue as mentioned in other reviews (should have read before purchasing) and even evident on display trousers.

I bought these for my husband whose comments are :- Interesting stretchy material which is comfortable. Will review again in a month or two when I have worn them for a while. Fly zip unfortunately only 15cm long which is 1cm shorter than the minimum for comfort. Older M&S trousers all had zips 16cm long which made life much easier. First pair bought was labelled 32 waist and 31 leg but was actually 34/33. Able to change them in store but unable to get the same colour - annoying!

The stitching came apart from the back pockets within 2 days of wearing,exchanged for another pair and had the same problem on pockets and leg. I went into the store and found 2 other pairs on the rail like this also. I am a huge fan of M&S and Chino, but think there maybe a production design issue with this line.

Super fit as expected. Very smart-just what was required. Really delighted.

For £39-95 I was expecting a quality product they were too short nowhere near the ordered leg length. These are not what I would class as smart Chinos when compared to previous ones I have bought - they should be in the £19-99 range. Will be going back. When will M&S issue their suppliers with a standard size tape measure by which they all use, it is a complete lottery if you get the size advertised these days

These fitted well, nice and tapered. However first day I wore them someone pointed out that the top inner corners of both rear pockets had come apart. Made 50 mile round trip to replace them, went to customer services to do the swap. On further testing the same corner of both rear pockets tore again. Looking at other pairs back on the shop floor there were many with this problem! Shame I really liked these. I see one other person here had this issue, I bet if other customers looked some of them would find the same problem. ( I bought mine in 2 shops over 100 miles apart, so if this is a rogue batch it's probably a pretty big one!)

These are quite possibly the best chinos I have ever come across. They are superb in just about ever department, except one thing. This is in the quality of the stitching for the rear pockets. I have three pairs and they all develop holes next to each rear pocket within 48 hours of wearing then. I have hand stitched all of them to reinforce them. I am hoping it stays. For 40 pounds it is not acceptable for this fault.

I was hoping the fit might be better with more elastane. Maybe the fault is mine and not the trews!

My husband finds it difficult to get trousers to fit, but being slim , these fit really well. would buy another pair.
