purpleronnie Posted 28 October 2010 Author Posted 28 October 2010 Yes originals, great prices out there. I had mixed feelings about New York, the sights and shopping were very good however the people were the worst i've ever had the displeasure of meeting, i've done a fair few capital cities and fashion capitals in my time but never had the attitude and contempt of those people. I undertsnad what your saying but they have a rep and dont mind playing up to it, I just took it as part of the experience and thought they were pretty funny. Any particular incidents you'd like to share?
Durnerz Posted 28 October 2010 Posted 28 October 2010 I undertsnad what your saying but they have a rep and dont mind playing up to it, I just took it as part of the experience and thought they were pretty funny. Any particular incidents you'd like to share? Its not really very funny when you're in a packed Macy's department store, first in line and the cashier is halfway through putting your items through before saying 'oh, would you mind if i just put this ladys items through?' 'erm, no, you're putting my items through,she is 2-3 people behind me and I was here first, idiot' their idea of customer service is a joke, you get the stereotypical african-american on jerry springer type attitude off most of them wether its restaurants or shops, spoils the whole experience. The best one was in a diner with a waiter who I can only compare to lurch from the adams family who sounded just like vinnie the panda off the fox's biscuits advert. He brought out an accompaniement (sp?) to my UFO sized plate of spaghetti and meatballs which was an equally large salad, I left the salad knowing what lay in wait for me and the guy comes over and says 'you dont like your salad or something?' just pure rudeness, take it and piss off. I had the last laugh with the 'tip' however, around a dollars worth of shrapnel littering the table
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 28 October 2010 Posted 28 October 2010 Checked this out in Well Gosh at the weekend and have decided not to get this now as doesnt look like it will be warm enough However have now turned my attention to one of these and only £5 more! How the fook are you getting a Canada Goose for a mere £5 punds more than that Lyle and Scott job????

iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 28 October 2010 Posted 28 October 2010 BBC is alot better than Ice Cream. Same company just the BBC is the more high end line. Neither have lived upto the first season of clothes they brought out a few years back. Bit expensive though , both of um. Pharrell and co's brand isn't it ?
Ozwin Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Still can't find a coat. I want something like this but I hate the colour: Coat Why do all coats have to be faux leather or long and poncey these days?
Ross-Kemp Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Noticed about the trainers at the start of the thread. I own a pair of orange sambas, green and yellow SL72's, green and white gazelles, blue and yellow marathons, and recently purchased blue and white plimsole volleys from well gosh, £35. BARGAIN
Unabomber Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 This is what I shall be getting soon Personally much prefer it to the standard quilted barbours.
FoxyPV Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 This is what I shall be getting soon Personally much prefer it to the standard quilted barbours. Will you get your footman to put in on you before your morning gallop across the dales?
Unabomber Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Will you get your footman to put in on you before your morning gallop across the dales? Why yes, I wouldn't have it any other way.
FoxyPV Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Why yes, I wouldn't have it any other way. Tally ho pip pip then.
lcfc"weasel" Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Cracking jacket that mate, gutted I didn't spot it before someone else
Mee Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Still can't find a coat. I want something like this but I hate the colour: Coat Why do all coats have to be faux leather or long and poncey these days? How about this? Or this? Pricey
Ross-Kemp Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 I've got the barbour liddesdale. Smart jackets
Ozwin Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 How about this? Or this? Pricey Nice one, love that 2nd one.
Mee Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Nice one, love that 2nd one. I had to much time on my hands .
Head Honcho Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 If it a parka you want then don't look any further. http://www.ln-cc.com/nigel-cabourn/nigel-cabourn-blue-everest-parka-/invt/nig010blue/ I can get you a 2nd hand one for a 1/6th of the retail price if your interested!
Ozwin Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 I had to much time on my hands . Much obliged. It's weird how hard it was to find one I liked, I swear everyone wore these a few years back.
Mee Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Much obliged. It's weird how hard it was to find one I liked, I swear everyone wore these a few years back. I used to have one about 4 year ago, but it was a cheap one, so the fur itched .
Ozwin Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 I don't know why I even want the fur, I think I'm telling myself the fur's gonna magically make it warmer or something.
BigBawsFaeTheShaws Posted 9 November 2010 Posted 9 November 2010 Haven't worn Adidas trainers on a match day for a few years now. Too many teds jumping on the casual bandwagon. Prefer the geography teacher / luxury scruff look these days. Would rather chew my own arm off that wear plimsoles, gio-goi, Henleys etc. Good interesting thread this.
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 9 November 2010 Posted 9 November 2010 Might get these for the shitty winter days. Nice. Got my eye on a pair of these. http://www.aspecto.co.uk/wolverine-wolverine-apprentice-boots-p-b%2Fapprentice-%28tan%29-c-tan.html

The king of coats. I dont think I could even wear it even if I ever got my grubby mitts on one. The Camerman is lovely as well

The Camerman is lovely as well Cameraman is class! Not sure how many days wear you'd get from that NC Everest Parka in the UK though. Too hot to wear in the pub. And for that reason I'm out!
