Quality of IXS stuff
I bought a set of IXS trousers from J&S, mainly on the basis that this supplier do 'real world' waist to inside leg measurement ratio sizes (i.e. they do fat git short leg options ! - not many apart from BMW's own branded stuff do). My first pair were fine for 6 months then began to leak at the crotch. J&S (Northwich) changed them no problems and second pair have been fine for 18 months now.
