Dunno. Some folk like to pay for a "label".

Like those who buy anyway and then ask on a forum for affirmation of their decision!  ;D

I use them for my tops and embroidery.

My first top from them I ordered the next size up, as ive managed to shrink most of my tops over the years.
Annoyingly they dont shrink (though thats actually the good point!!) So i have a handful of oversized tops which are embroided and cant be sent back.

So now I get all my work clothing from them.  Though not in need of replacing my trousers or shorts yet, but when i do I will be using them for these as well.

I've used there clothing for years,polo shirts,fleeces,shorts,,trousers,waterproof coat,
I agree it's not the cheapest,but long term good value,as  I've found all items wear well and last a long time

It's the best! Used their stuff for a few years now and wouldn't use anything else, lasts for ages and the design/features are second to none!

A few more breakfasts will soon sort that.

Adam can't see point in old vans that keep breaking down .I had an 06 vivaro for ten years spot on van till last couple of years. It only cost me 4000 mòre to get a 65 plate than an 08 plate with over 70000 miles on clock it's a no brainer and I have also used cheap clothes that don't last long so the moral of this story pay once for dear stuff that last ages than half a dozen cheap pairs

That's not always the case.
I bought a pair of Adidas swift gortex shoes recently for 100 notes, they fell apart after 7 weeks.
Switched to salomon now, much better shoes.
