Just bought these in 'Brown' for DS

They fit perfectly and he likes them (miracle!)

My order says I bought brown so I went to see the other colours but when I click 'Ecru' the picture isn't changing from the brown option.

Is my phone playing up? I'd like to order them in other colours but I can't see the difference.

Just checked . Changes to all 3 colours for me .

Navy is showing me a different colour. Both brown and ecru have the same photos and it's a sort of light brown.

The same picture is used for both pairs. You can tell by the way the model is standing.

I imagine they are different colours. They have just uploaded one of the Brown pictures instead of the Ecru ones, I think.

Have you tried changing the size?

Sometimes if a certain size is sold out in a certain colour, it won't change.

I'm on a laptop. When I click brown there are 4 pictures, 3 with the boy. Then when I click to ecru it shows just one picture - the one with the boy with his thumbs in his pocket. It's the same photo from the brown.

I thought that WhateverMate, but tried that and it seemed to show them all in stock.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Thing is... The brown is almost what ii would consider Ecru. Not a true deep brown.

I don't really want to order the Ecru incase it's too light. He is a mucky sausage.

I see different things if I follow your link from my iPhone and from my iPad.

In both I get a selection of the same pictures for both Ecru and Brown. If it were me I would order both Navy and Ecru to add to your existing pair. If the Ecru and the Brown are too similar you can always return the Ecru pair.

Chewbecca · 22/10/2023 13:42

Same for me - navy has a blue trousered pic, brown and ecru have the same pic and they could be either! I'd order both for collection and return on the spot the one I didn't like.

In my opinion, the photos are of the Ecru pair so you’d be OK with Brown as well. But, who knows with M&S?

But I ordered brown and they are the light ones pictured on both.

So you think if I order Ecru they'll send a brown pair?

I like the suggestion of ordering them to store

No, if you ordered Brown and got the light shade in the pictures I would expect Ecru to be lighter.

But, as both you and Chewbacca say, it’s easy to order to store and return them straight away. It’s free, too.
