Negative Feedback
Not all reviews were positive. Some customers received the trousers "crumpled" when ordered online. One said: "I ordered two pairs of these trousers. They arrived in a bag, crumpled so much that I wouldn't even iron them, material poor quality."
Another noted: "Not a nice fabric, a scratchy linen, I was hoping to use some fabric softener but label says not to. I have returned them." A third stated: "Arrived in a green plastic bag far too small for trousers! Creased so badly! Sending straight back, not even trying on!!!"
