I don't buy clothes very often. £80 for a pair of 511s seems noticeably more than last time, especially as I needed two.
I only buy jeans once a year, at the 7forallmankind sale, because I like them but object to paying £270 a pair.
During the sale they do BOGOF if you're on the maiuling list.
About £90 for a pair of Lacoste and about £70 for a pair of Timberland.Quote:

Go to Gap for their 255.5 jeans range
Half the price of those 511s

I have not bought any new clothes for 6 or 7 years. I wait until they are literally falling apart. My complete set of underwear are riddled with holes. Ive been meaning to purchase a new set of socks/pants for 3 years but not got around to it. I own 2 pairs of jeans which I rotate. Both have gaping holes in the crutch area but will be fine for another 3 or 4 years I guess.Quote:

The same public school ponce types who batter Weller's working class heroes in Eton Rifles?Quote:

The oiks got battered. That's the whole point.Quote:

It wasn't an urban myth though. Not long before Rifles came out, an Eastender I was working with when I did my apprenticeship, told me he and a little mob of his mates had gone to Eton to pinch top hats and their daddy had, indeed, been battered by a toff. True story.
I always assumed the story had somehow made it to Weller
"All that rowing puts hairs on your chest" would've worked rather well too, wouldn't it.Quote:

Shush. I'm just enjoying the image of Weller being punched in the face by Hugh Laurie. :cloud9:Quote:
