Where do you buy your general off work clothes?

Primark? George? M&S? Next?

I thought this was a contractors' forum!?

I can find a half-decent shirt cheaper than a good T-shirt these days. £20-30 for a bloody T-shirt, how ridiculous.

TKMaxx. Can't go wrong!

Though won't buy work kit there as it is suits and such, tend to go to Hobbs, Nicole Farhi, Max Mara or Joseph

Been having real problems lately finding clothes that are good quality and reasonable price.

Today I went down the high street, and I go in one shop and a t-shirt is cheapish £10 and it looks like a thin piece of crap cloth, neck looks badly formed and stretched. Probably cost £2 to make. The next shop is selling similar ones for £30, they look about £2.50 worth.

Is there anywhere left that sells anything worth having?

This was the second shop I mentioned. Same cheap cloth but three times more expensive than the previous place.

TK Maxx used to sell some great stuff, not any more.

We've been to a car boot a couple of times recently to get some clothes for my other half to ship to her family in Africa. We were buying up people's entire stand - for about £5 per carrier bag or £10 per bin bag full. Managed to pull a few nice shirts and and couple of pairs of shorts out for myself. They're hardly worn. Its the kind of stuff people have bought and found its the wrong size of they just don't like it. I've got loads the same in my wardrobe - so they've ended up in the Africa box.

Top tip if you want to buy bulk... most people are asking about 50p - £1 an item. Just make an offer for the lot and don't let them count them 1 by 1. Point out that it works for them - instead of having 40 items left at the end of the day - they've made a profit.

A lengthy ban, please, RH.

Much too pricy. What's wrong with the pound shop?
