    Burton n Topman mainly...bit of GAP everyone now and then too, and I've just discovered ASOS so will probably be getting some stuff from there when the loan comes through.

    Tried Primark? Seriously, £6 for a pair of jeans.

    £6/£7 at Matalan for their cheap jeans.
    They're pretty worthless though, I have 3 pairs which all have holes in the knees. My Lee Coopers on the other hand are fine.

    Yeah, yeah, insert some joke about me spending too much time on my knees here. It's from sliding while playing paintball. Honest.

    But people PAY £100+ for a pair of jeans with holes in them!

    I have some stonewashed ones from there which I use frequently (I'm a cheapskate when it comes to trousers) and they get replaced every 4-5 months, which is fine for their price.

    T-shirt wise, I normally import from Palmer Cash or Threadless for limited edition t's that theoretically shouldn't clash with other people.

    But today I saw someone wearing the same "Ce n'est pas un pipe" (Mario reference) t-shirt.

    Don't get me wrong, if I didn't think it was worth it I wouldn't have 3 pairs. :)
    Just saying that the quality isn't super great.

    And they're gonna be seriously **** :p Lower quality stitching, a lower quality denim, blah blah blah. Not that I'm advocating spending 100 or whatever on jeans, that's crazy, but 25-40 gets you a good pair that won't wear thin in just a few months. Why not just spend 4-5 times as much and replace them 4-5 times less often, you even get a better pair in the process! :D

    Ah yeah, got a bit from Primark too...not keen on the quality but they're so cheap and the designs aren't that bad.

    RTT, I can have you a pair made in the UK that'll be fitted for less than £40. You can even have a pick of fabric. It's not what you know, it's who you know. (or should that be "whom" you know?)

    That's been my plan for a while. Hopefully i'll be getting it going this year, mainly geekware and MTB/BMX stuff to start with. I'll start a thread for input on designs once I get things sorted :)

    M&M Sports :rock:

    I get their catalogue(s), such that I can have a look-see at their 'Special Offers', before visiting the site/ordering the gear I want online.
    They usually offer some major savings on a wide range of top brand gear :clap:

    I get my jeans from Matalan for about £10 and they last for ages...only the back of the ankle wears out where i wander round with no shoes on all the time...
