mudpatten Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Bought a pair of these the other day. No problems. Generously cut and strudily made. The only thing that you might want to know is that, it turns out, I bought them a full size too large. I washed them as per the instructions and was somewhat surprised that they had shrunk by a full size increment. They`d gone from being way too loose around the waist to a comfortable fit. Had I bought them at the correct waist size they would have shrunk so much as to be unwearable. For your information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I`ve now washed them for a second time on the recommended cool wash and they`ve shrunk yet again! I can now just about wear them. Being cut in the style of denim jeans they continually slip down when one is moving about, eventually revealing a lot of unsightly builders bum crack. They are certainly well made and will undoubtedly last well but I would not recommend them to anyone. A poorly thought out design which fails in the field. I`m very surprised that Deerhunter did`nt make them in their high back style which would have negated the builders bum although it would`nt have solved the massive shrinkage problem.

mudpatten Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 They look like a much better design, more suited to moving about in, and the price is better. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
