Where do you buy your clothes?

So Black Friday.

Never really paid attention to it with regard to clothing.

Worth waiting for for the sort of stuff I've mentioned?

I've recently discovered Schoffel. Normally to be found in those Country Stories where you can pick up a gallon of agri-oil and a tractor at the same time.

They do some really nice, very good quality quarter zips, shirts and stuff.

Also looked at a couple of Harkila coats bit can't quite justify the £600 price.... no matter how comfy it may be!

In the village pub we normally have the usual country folk, check shirts and quarter zips however there's two blokes must be mid 50 both come plastered in CP company gear, they look hilarious.

I've got some Schoffel shirts, like you say, good quality stuff.

Cheap stuff from Sports Direct and Asda

Other stuff from Next, M&S, and JD Sports

I used to be a Tommy Hilfer/Ralph Lauren/Lacoste we but everyone seems to wear that, including youngsters.

Now in my early 30’s, everything I wear has no logo but I focus on quality, fabric, and a timeless style- sticking to black, navy, ecru, and white.

I stick to Uniqlo (good value), Reiss which is higher-end, and Sunspel which is luxury. I always make sure I’m buying 100% wool or cashmere for my knitwear and 100% cotton for anything else. Got a lovely mix of cable knits, roll necks, and simple crew knits.

People usually get put off by wool but it’s the best. Uniqlo for example do some great value 100% cashmere knits- simple and timeless if you stick to the above colours and mix and match with some navy or beige bottoms. Just wash on your delicate setting with wool specific detergent and you can’t go wrong.

Bottoms are chino’s from Gant which fit me best. Their slim fit is just right (NOT too tight) and they do them in a short length which is perfect for me. They also do them in regular fit if you’re a little chunky. I spent ages trying different brands. Pair with some plain white trainers and you’ll feel you’ve upped your game. Can literally mix and match the lot.

Amazon and Primark for normal clothes. M&S and Hawes & Curtis for smart stuff.

Coats and shoes; Barbour, Haglofs, Loake and MA.STRUM

Most important is fit. Quality and price are rarely linear so my staples are £3 cotton slim fit Primark t shirts.

Pretty much nails where I am except the age.

Not bothered about logos and as I said quality balanced with can't go mad for work as it's only an unexpected day away from getting covered in dirt or snagged on something.

Right now I'm liking Uniqlo a lot for what seems to be a balance between value and good functional stuff rather than "just paying for the label".

Bloody annoying there isn't a store near me and that stock seems really hit and miss for a big chain.

Flannels, head to toe in stone island me, I'm well hard.

The brand has a bad rep, the quality is decent though, its an Italian brand in modena!

I have no items that are stone island!

Fred perry do some really nice stuff made in Portugal is the stuff to look for.

Everyday jeans levi, zara trousers are OK for £30 can't go wrong.

All the nuggets walking around dripping in Stone Island (and other similar brands) almost certainly bought all their gear from Wish or AliExpress.

Thanks- not heard of them. I’ll check them out.

[Turtle Shed]

Honest answer is Sainsbury's. I couldn't be less interested in clothes if I tried. I always wear clean clothes, but primarily I just want to be comfortable. I work at home so that helps.

I do have some smarter clothes for when the occasion demands, these come from M&S, but I reckon it's five years since I shopped there.

C&A

This reminds me of the old joke about ladies underwear.

[soxboy]

I tend to do 2 clothes shopping sessions per year; once around Christmas/ January sales and one in summer before holidays. On the former I take a day off and my wife and I head to either Leeds or York, with a few drinks afterwards.

A lot seems to be H&M and Zara, at Christmas I struck lucky with John Lewis sale so got decent t-shirts and jumpers (own brand) plus Diesel and Ted Baker jeans.

I looked at Reiss but I gave to face the fact I’m too big for them now. I got some good Pull & Bear and Mango stuff on holiday too.

[Cats_pyjamas]

Have a few patagonia bits, levi jeans. Most other bits from Tkmaxx and matalans. Usually wear clothes until they fall off me, then they get put in the rag bag in the garage.

[GilletteFan]

Reiss for staples. Like that they aren't too exensive nor do they have any branding.

[Barchettaman]

I normally wait until I have a job in London, then have a cruise around the charity shops of the suburbs. Over a few weeks I’ll normally score a few decent shirts, slacks and t-shirts that’ll last me a few years.

I haven’t done the full Jack Reacher and dumped my existing clothes in the bin and walked out in my new clobber yet, but there’s still time for that.

[bitchstewie]

Did read something on Reddit along the lines of head into Uniqlo/Reiss/Mango/wherever and find a mannequin you like and just ask for two of everything it's wearing

Sounds bonkers but I can see some sense in it.
