I like this shop
http://www.frontlineshop.com
The downer is of course you can not try anything on and it is in German (just use babel fish) but they do ship to the UK.

Primark is a very strange place. The queues are horrendous in Bristol now there's only a small shop while they're rebuilding Broadmead.
Never have my size anyway - mostly I buy socks in there - whenever they actually have any in sensible colours and without "sport" written on them.
(memo to self to buy 100 pairs next time instead of just 30).

And that's why I tend not to have new clothes until the old ones are looking very ragged - I can never find my size - it's a bit like ALDI's bargains - you grab an anglegrinder when they have them in in case you might need one 5 years in the future.....

I have now actually found an online source of FOTL XXXL black crew neck tee shirts (the only ones I found in town were lacking 6 inches of fabric as if showing of yer midriff was fashionable for late 40s blokes as well as [SIZE=-1]flippertygibbets. )

So, ultimately, online for me.

...this thread reminds me I have to go to BHS for another 20 pairs of the only kind of pants I will wear (I hate buying pants - everywhere you look there are illustrations of other men's bulges - ) and since they're only available in white or "70s retro colourblind", I will have to get some more black dye too ... and buying white pants makes it doubly embarassing.

Maybe 40 pairs then .. let's hope I don't get mice again....

Never have your size?

I assume you're a small chap then. I have trouble finding stuff that's small enough - it's all big, tent & marque sizes....

Maybe it's the styles I'm after - no, I'm XXXL.

I simply want to buy the same clothes my whole life - and not be told by Millets that the grey cotton shorts were "last year's style"

Bravo!

A man after my own heart.

I'd like a switch that magically refreshes ones wardrobe - not actually changing anything, just replacing everything that's there with identical, new versions.

My philosophy: If I've been wearing the same jeans for 15 years, they must be pretty darn good jeans, so why change.

It could be worse. The market is where grandmothers buy their 15 yr old things they mistakenly think is "cool".

I shudder at the memory of the Hi-tech brand trainers she got me.
I would have been pinned to the school wall and beaten with sticks if they'd caught me in them, and wearing them they would have caught me quite quickly.

He's a man, not a florist.

Of course he doesn't care about clothes...

Nah, grandmothers generally knit stuff for you. I remember my Nan asking what I wanted for Xmas, I replied: Something that looks like you bought it

I care only in the sense that I have a narrow range of clothes that I'm happy with and clothing suppliers want to sell me something else - usually denim, and sports clothing with writing on

As a large 40-something I would be fine if I wanted to wear polo shirts and "dad trainers" ...

My laundry and daily clothing choice is a doddle - when the tee shirts and pants stocks in the bathroom get a bit low, it's time to shovel some of the pile on the "kitchen" floor into the machine.

Covent Garden is always a good place for shopping, Duffer St George, Diesel, Burro, Boxfresh plus a whole host of other shops normally result in a big dent in the finances.
