Cotton Traders used to sell pretty good quality clothing at reasonable prices but they now seem to be selling a load of tat.
I have yet again had to send an item back for a refund. I was sent a brochure offering me half price on a waterproof jacket and since I happened to be looking for one I took up the offer.
When it arrived, the only way I could describe it was a thin fleece covered in a bin liner...it was awful.
To add insult to injury they have just refunded me less £6.94. This consists of the original postage of £3.99 plus the return postage on a postage paid label of £2.95. They apparently do not refund postage either way so it has cost me £6.94 just to view a load of absolute rubbish.
It goes without saying that I will not be buying from Cotton Traders again!

Looks like you should at least have had the original postage back.
I much prefer mountain warehouse for stuff that isn't too cheap or too expensive. Cotton traders always struck me as a brand for people who wear stripy old fashioned rugby jumpers with the collar sticking up.

I like a stripy old fashioned rugby jumper.........With or without the sticking up collar.. ☹️☹️
I like to see what I buy so never buy clothes on line that way you can see and feel as well as try the stuff, old fashioned maybe but it works strangely enough.

That's okay if you've got accessible shops, moppetsdad! Some of us are stuck on online!
I've not been impressed by Cotton Traders recently either - I've got a couple of hours on Saturday morning down at Gretna so will be visiting Mountain Warehouse (needing new jacket).

Oh no! Don’t tell me that! I’ve just bought a striped rugby jersey for my husband from Joules. I thought he looked quite nice in it!
I'm a bath rugby fan as such I have a bath rugby cotton polo along with usual bits of kit but I never wear it with the collar up. Makes a man look like Tim nice but dim . If you pop the collar up on my polo on expensive embroidery it says "bath rugby" underneath and you look like a right nonce

Well you can't have everything in life, I'm sure where you live has compensations from what I remember of Mull.
I used to buy from Cotton traders regularly but always waited for their half price sale to pick up some bargains in the airtex type Polo shirts that washed and kept their shape very well. Lately though, l have been put off by the colour ranges and the fact that they now use a contrasting placket which is horrible and spoils the look of the shirt.
My husband used to like their sweatshirts and joggers, but likewise the quality of the fabric used is no where near as good as they used to be, and the knees and elbow areas soon wear through, although l have noticed a decline in a lot of cotton garments of late and the quality of the fabric used in their manufacture with the sly addition of a polyester content for cheapness at the expense of comfort.
