MintChocChippyMinton · 13/04/2007 17:16

MintChocChippyMinton · 13/04/2007 17:22

Agree. Johnnie take note - I won't buy trousers that I have to take up. Life is too short.

DarrellRivers · 13/04/2007 18:51

and did you know that landsend will alter trousers that you buy from them for no extra cost.
now thats the kind of service i expect
i've stopped buying boden for me, too long trousers, too big waisted, too short tops, too short sleeves,funny shape of lady that Kate Richmond
Quick disclaimer, my mum's landsend catalogue i hasten to add

gingernut · 13/04/2007 19:04

I have commented to Boden about lack of shorter length trousers before but obviously my custom isn't important enough to Johnnie since it was about 2 seasons ago and not a whiff of trousers for people with legs of a dwarf yet.

(I wrote `I would have kept these trousers and shortened them but I got a similar pair from Next which were the right length so am keeping those instead).
