Clothes

[Tim]

Where does everyone get their clothes from, I seem to spend loads of money on clothes and they don't even seem to last that long.

For example I've bought a tshirt today for £30, a t shirt? Jeans seem to cost £100+.

Where does everyone get clothes from that don't cost this much.

I get majority of my clothes from a shop called Nicholas Deakin they don't sell jeans so I go to bank for jeans and other bits

If its something cheap needed, like a whole bunch of cheap t-shirts that I know are going to get ruined, like on cars/decorating/garden work etc then I'll go to the likes of Matalan/Primark etc..

[Tim]

How much does everyone pay?

[Dave]

Good t-shirts, from the likes of burton, around £25 max, they do more expensive ones, but I draw the line, lol. Jeans, again usually from burton, around £40 max.. Cheap t-shirts and clithes to get dirty t-shirts can be as little as £4 each etc...

[Tim]

£40 for jeans sounds a lot better, but I still think £25 for t shirts is expensive

[Dave]

Yeh it is still the top end of what I'd pay, often Burton will do a 2for £XX offeres on t-shirts, its usually 2 for £28, also, I have a store card for there, so usually buy online when they have cardholder events, and get 20% off using the card... All makes it a bit cheaper

[CorsaEdi]

Most I have paid for jeans is 60notes and thought that was too much haha only bought them as I got a free t shirt lol, t shirts I pay no more than 30 usually around 15/20 though and normal jeans around 40

Jeans are generally ok from next but about £60-70 a time and I always wear the crotch out within a few months. T shirts I'll probably spend £25 a go in Animal or Debenhams as they are pretty much only 2 shops I like T shirts in

Next £25 jeans are very good for day to day. £40 for tidy ones to go out etc. Always look out for deal on cheap single colour tees. They can look smart without having to break the bank

[Danny]

TK Maxx is awesome. I get a lot from there.
Last time I got a pair of Element jeans, a billabong tshirt, and an element jacket for about £80.

[Samo]

payed £25 for a polo from hollister. big hole has worn in it. if your not a dull person i dont think any clother last long burton river island topman seems to be a good middle ground

[Tim]

I have bought some £40 jeans from river island but they don't fit as well as my diesel ones, plus my diesel ones last a year plus. Wonder if cheap jeans are a false economy? JT saying he wears £69/70 ones out in 2 months

Don't think I've ever spent more than £30 on jeans. You can get plain coloured chinos (dark blue for example) for about £20 and I find they can last longer than jeans.

Republic have got better recently I think. They stock a lot of Jack Jones stuff that isn't too in your face with branding (I hate that, like Jack Wills written in massive writing on every item of clothing). The Jack Jones stuff is reasonabley priced and is relatively good quality.

I had a really good pair of jeans once...
