Merch upcycled some shitty quality merch!
I bought these shorts from one of the recent Decades drops. I was stoked that they had a sweatpant shorts option! Well...the mockup they used was sweatpant shorts. When they arrived, i was extremely disappointed to find that they were actually shitty quality, zero stretch at all plasticky "beach shorts" that didn't fit me at all. When I went back to double check the listing, they weren't on the site anymore.
The two poor quality images attached are tiny screenshots from my email confirmation (the sweatpant shorts) and the new mockup from the delivery confirmation (the beach shorts). I decided not to even attempt to get a refund because 1) king's road customer service is useless, 2) i didn't think they would give me a refund anyway because while the mockup was wrong, they do usually link the garment blank which was probably correct, and 3) i really liked the design!
But, they didn't fit at all. I'm a big boy and that plasticky material had no stretch, and I was stoked to have a cool new pair of sweatpant shorts. So! I took a pair of plain black sweatpant shorts that I liked, cut the designs out of the original MIW shorts, and had my mom help me turn them into patches and attach them to the shorts I liked! (ignore the chalk marks i didn't notice them until after i took those photos)
