Am I being unreasonable? ( suit )

[ipwn]

Bought an M&S suit, "top of the range" one, those £300 ones around December.

Realistcally wore it around 20 times. On the back of the trousers ( arse area )the material has just faded on right through and theres now a small hole there God knows how long it's been there for !

I'm going to take it to them and hope they either offer a refund or send it off for repair which they said they may do, but they need to see it first.

If they refuse to do anything where do I stand?

Even my Burton £70 suit I bought 12 months ago and has had alot of use is showing no signs of wear in the area.

M&S are usually pretty good with refunds etc.

With something covering your bum, presumably.

Ok what’s the rest of the story, what happened to the bum area of your suit to cause the material to wear out so quickly?

The children who makes those suits are pretty good and quality control is a whip so it cant be the manufacture

I bought one of their excellent DJ suits 4 years ago, still looks fresh to this day. The fact my arse and belly outgrew it after the first use has nothing to do with this

Ah, the mysterious shrinking suit syndrome...

Could be a point they might raise though I am assuming the suit fits well around the area and excessive stretching hasn't damaged the fabric??

OP, is this you?

[Jasandjules]

How old is the suit?

[911motorsport]

How can they repair the seat of the trousers, other than sewing on a Charlie Chaplin style patch?

I took a suit back to M&S last year for a very similar problem, I'd had it for over six months and they took the whole lot back and said I could choose a new one up to the value I had paid intially.

Sounds like the bottom's fallen out of their market

[anonymous-user]

What a bummer.

Bet you look a right ahole.

When customer services ask, "what pH is your bum gas?" be sure to confidently shout: "SEVEN".

Consider removing your shoe and banging it on the counter to emphasise the point.

This is the key to melting trouser arse claims. Trust me.

/me pulls up a seat for the pun contest. I'm hoping for a metric arseload of them.

Oh! The cheek of it!

M&S are usually reasonable, you shouldn't have to jump through hoops.
