I recently sent for two pair of Dunlop check trousers off the Sports direct website. They arrived two days before I got an email telling me they had been dispatched. I can live with that as at least I had them and they were the correct colour and style. That is where it ended though. I bought a what turned out to be a lovely grey check and black check pair. Nice for the £15 each especially when compared to the likes of Strombergand their prices.
I ordered 36 waist. The grey pair went straight on, no problems I thought then I tried the black pair, they too had the 36 tag on them but no dice they were at least two sizes smaller. My lad tried them on. He is a 32 and they only just fit him. So if you are ordering off the web just beware they may not be the size they claim due to poor quality control. I'm taking them back to the shop to change as they want me to send them back at my own expense. Not a chance of that.
 
They are shocking sizes for me. Its like they were designed for the Darren Clarke figure throughout the range. The legs were wide as hell and practically covered all my shoes at the bottom.

Not the case with the "pro" range. These are the ones with the extra detailing around the back pocket and metal buttons. Legs aren't like the cheaper 2 for range.

Personally had no problems with them myself. Not to the extent of the OP anyway.
 
Mate tried a pair on. 36 waist he takes and these looked Billy Smarts circus with proper sailor uniform bell bottoms. No idea who they were designed for but he looked a mess and I was crying with laughter. Suffice to say he didn't buy them

I'd take a bet they weren't the from the range the OP is talking about Homer.

It's the risks with buying so cheap from Chav Direct.

We needed yellow trousers for a charity day and got them from there - awful fit and feel to him
 
I can honestly say I tried on 3 pairs of 36 waist trousers 2 weeks ago at sports direct with 3 different results. ended up getting the one pair that actually fitted then noticed a massive scab on the back of left leg when I got home. For the sake of 9 quid I didnt take them back but I wont be getting another pair from them.
 
I've just bought three pairs of their bright trousers all for the princely sum of £2.99 each, Bought 36W Regular leg and all fit perfectly.
 
I bought a pair of their bright trousers for £2.99 with a 34 waist and they fit perfectly and so far the quality seems very good given the cost.
