I was a devoted buyer of Tradie mens fitted trunks for the past 7 years. However I recently purchased some replacements and they felt all wrong and significantly tighter. At first I thought it was the silly season catching up with my waist line, but on close scutiny nothing on me had changed. It was either less material or more elastine being employed by Tradie, or maybe both. It certainly felt like it. Tradie had obviously changed the way they make my go-to regular fitted trunks and as a result were now firmly off the menu for me.As everyone was running sales I rolled the dice on some Bonds 'Chaife Free' trunks in the same size. Low and behold they were a great fit.The story could have ended there but I'd also experimented at the same time with a pair of Tradie Bamboo No Chaife Trunks, which I found really comfortable (particularly) when the temperature pushed into the 30's. I'd had misgivings because the original Tradie bamboo trunks have a nasty tag that scratches the top of your cleft at the wrong angle. But Tradie seem to have addressed that.So in short, Tradie lost a customer for their fitted trunks because they appeared to apply shrinkflation to their everyday product. This caused me to diversify the brands I rely on. I'm now split between Bond's No Chafe trunks, Bonds X Temp trunks and Tradie Bamboo No Chafe trunks. All of which fit me comfortably in the size I've had for years.
