£30 M&S Trousers

sweetstudent

Hi,

As the title says it, how long should a pair of £30 trousers be expcted to last?

I purchased some Travel trousers and they had to be returned because they started to split at the front just below the zipper, that was after a month, now they have started to split again. I have had them since Aug.

So would they be expected to last longer than this?

I don't really know what you mean by travel trousers but I would expect a pair of £30 trousers (if worn regularly) to last over a year, but that's my personal opinion. It depends on how much wear they'll get, how often they are washed etc etc but it sounds to me like they aren't well made.

They should definitely last at least a year. I wouldn't expect them to split or have problems like that for about 2, if at all.

Thanks, i will go to marks and try and get a refund!

Looking at the marks site, the travel trousers seem to have been taken down, so there may be a fault with the whole batch!

Is it the seam that has split, or has the actual material the trousers are made of split?

Well i went to Marks and no luck. The rude manager just said i will send them off to the technicians,, because of the bobbeling on the legs which is not even the fault and she just ignored what i was saying.

Just fired off a very strongly worded email to M&S!
