Been to the shops this morning and found the following:
Marks and Spencer - expensive, little choice and the quality is cr@p
Next - some strange looking tops in there that must be designed for twenty-one year olds who weigh no more than 10.5st. Not for me.
Bhs - Cheap but awful just awful.
Last hope is John Lewis when i am up that way but not holding out much hope.

only kidding, whats your budget for clothing items, what would you pay for a t shirt etc? |

By:
John Lewis, online is superb.

By:
John Lewis will be dearer than M&S but better quality and more choice imo

By:
I've always found Bravissimo quite satisfactory.

Everyone has their own taste of course. I like some casual clothes from Edinburgh woollen mill and am wearing a James Pringle fishermans sweater from them at the moment.

Used to love shopping, but it's not the same doing it on your own.
I've only done it once, in the last fourteen years, and that was at the outlet in York. We used to go to Leeds every Wednesday, after picking up my wedge, and always ended up at "Da Marios", "Bistro 5", "Bibis" or "Ninos On The Park" at Roundhay. Never heard of "Slaters" but got some superb clothes from "Lord John" (in the new Albion Street precinct) and otherwise "Cecil Gee" and "Austin Reed". Good days...Good times....  |

By:
Slaters is a very nice shop, as you would expect in Leeds these days. A disturbing recent trend, however, seems to be to put patches on the elbows on a lot of mens' jackets, just like my school teacher's had over 50 years ago.

Obviously had to take a peek kenny...
Four suits for only £60.00! You couldn't get them from a charity shop so cheap! How come the "Stick Insect" models still have them too small? I guess they have to skimp on material to get them down to the price! That with minimal lapels and skinny trousers has to dictate the fashion. Incidentally, do you know why "Wide Boys" were thus called? |
|
By:
Hey kenny, do you know of "Great Clothes" on York Road?
It's an age since I was there (back into the 80s). Some superb clothes there. I bought three suits in one visit. Two by "Griff" and one by "Boss". Best thing is you just park right outside. Is it still there, as again I am in my time machine? |
|
By:
I absolutely hate shopping and I don't really need anything anyway. M & S for socks and boxer shorts etc and Fat Face stock pretty good shirts and tee shirts but that's about it really.
|
|
By:
4 suits £60! I hope you don't think that's why I go, Aunty.
I do indeed remember Great Clothes. I probably still have the card somewhere, although I'd forgotten all about it. I used to frequent a pub quite regularly on York Road. The Prospect, or Prospect City as it was known. Plus The Cherry Tree which was not far away. |
|
By:
Weird Fish, Fat Face, Monterey at Debenhams, Jack Wills stuff looks good, if a bit preppy, bit pricey but might try some stuff in the sale.
Next for jeans. What age is middle-aged? |
|
By:
Mid 60s imo.
|
|
By:
M&S Blue Harbour is the correct answer for all us middle aged me who don't know what to wear.
Also like a bit of Timberland stuff. |
|
By:
M&S have all different ranges so not sure how you can say all their quality is crap. Ultimately you get what you pay for...e.g. their cheaper shirts will have polyester in them.
|

By:
Jaeger stuff is ok.
|
|
By:
debenhams a shocking omission

Ralph Lauren and Bench for me.

I use RL for big and tall..

Jack Wills stuff looks good if you want to look like a ****, is the rest of that sentence.
