Is it just me or is harder to find decent men clothes?

Almost everything has a randon date or some American state, hobby or interest printed on the garments.

If you go to charity shops it's mostly fast fasion or shirts that probably belonged some 70-100 year old gentleman, even then it's small section in a corner.

I have old socks that more life and colour than most the high street clothes shops.

I don't get these endless pairs of jeans that are full of rips, holes and tears. What in God's name is that all about? You are supposed to replace clothes that are worn and full of holes aren't you? I think it was Victor Meldrew who once quipped 'You there! The bimbo who looks as though she's been groped by Edward Scissorhands.."

The variety and choice is enormous - on every high street, speciality shops, mailorder, internet, magazines etc.

Your 'almost everything' point is preposterous and inaccurate. So easy - in a huge market - to source men's normal gear.

For the type of person who doesnt give a stuff about energy waste, and doesnt care about the quality, stitching or material yes, otherwise you need to go into the shops.

You, Barney, can probably afford to buy from the well trusted and very expensive brands, but not everyone can.

The point is Barney I am trying to make. Not everyone wants to order online or via mail order then drive to the nearest drop-off point. If the clothes don't suit or fit right. Different cuts and online retailers get their clothes from sweatshops also is a XXL or XL tends to be XL or an L.


I did wear my partner's bright floral blazer one evening to add some flare and colour.

Don't knock it Mr Honey until you try it.

I am very surprised it fitted. (unless your partner is a man, or you have got a bust?)

Who said it fitted?

It was a tight fit to be honest Honey, anyway short sleeves were the fashion 40 years ago remember?
