“Can’t take them off!
The Meander Adventure Trousers are my new all-round, go-to trouser of choice - I can’t take them off. They are so comfortable and versatile I need them in every colour. Superb work Meander, thanks for my new favourite trousers :)”
“Good texture, wash well, keeping colour well
Bought some T-shirts for me and my husband. They were all soooo lovely. Thought my husband was looking particularly good yesterday and then noticed it was because he had his meander T-shirt on!”
”So Comfortable!
I bought these as we went into lockdown in the UK, and I don't think there's been a day yet when I haven't worn them for working from home. Possibly the most comfortable trousers I've ever owned. Can't wait to ride to work.....”
