Primark

Hi Everyone

I hope this posting finds you all well. I bought three Sweatshirts for myself from Primark. I find they fit well around the torso however they have shrunk in the arm.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent Sweatshirt from please?

Regards

Boxer

    Hi Boxer, are you sure it's not your arms that have grown rather than the sweatshirt thats shrunk?:confused:

    You can buy a half decent sweatshirt from Primark but I would suggest washing them on a cooler wash :confused:

    Vastly overpriced for what you get, though.

    if its not shrinking, its stitching coming undone after washing with primark trash.

    if ur looking for budget basic, try george at asda or any other supermarket clothing range.

    steer clear of primark for anything but basics... like socks.

    Actually Primark does have an ethical trade strategy .. which does not necessarily mean the wool is not being pulled over its eyes. I would be more concerned about the exploitaiton being carried out by some (so called) 'designer' labels

    Tee shirts are 3 for £5, and last well, they do shrink, as all cotton does, but so does £10 tee shirts
