Out of stock it would seem.

It has a look of USA prison workwear I'd say.🤔
I had a look in the factory shop a while back, most stuff was around RRP but if you could find what you wanted in the seconds section then you might have got a bargain.
I found a polarquiilt jacket that was normally £160, although if you shop around you can find one for £120, it was down to £55 and I couldn't see a thing wrong with it.

I'd need to rob a bank to be able to afford it.
I was about to buy this Barbour coat for my mutt a few years ago, when he had a slight nibble at the shop assistant's hand as if to say take it off, I don't like it.

Look at those wooden drawers, a proper Grace Brothers, 'I'm free Captain Peacock.'
Coming soon to a Range Rover near you, that's rather vile.

It can only be an ostentatious status symbol really although to my eye Burberry check will always be associated with that period about 20 years ago when it became very popular among a certain subsection of society.
It was a choice between Range Rover or football terrace in my reply earlier. 😂

Yes, they do look similar. That was taken in Ken Vary's in Clitheroe, three and a half years ago.

There was a gents outfitters here in Great Harwood for many years. I remember being fitted for my first pair of trousers/long pants there for my uncle's wedding in February 1970. His shop was very Grace Brothers looking! He had the polished wood drawers, the tape measure round the shoulders, the part mannequins with the string vests and underpants on top of the glass topped cabinets, along with the other stuff of their time. Also, he was always seen in a smart suit and would probably shudder at today's standard of 'slovenly' men's dress wear. When he died many were very surprised to hear about his heroic past! He never mentioned it according to his son, due to respect for the enemy he shot down. His son said he carried his grief for his comrades and his enemies who died to his grave and never thought of himself as a war hero.

Edit....Just remembered. His son also told me that he visited the family of one of the pilots he shot down during his many battles, to ask for forgiveness. The son said the family were so overwhelmed with Mr Mercer's chivalry they became very good friends with him and often invited him over to Germany for holidays.
Squadron Leader Donald Mercer. A true war hero and a well dressed gentleman tailor to boot!!! 🧐

I'm eyeing these up as a not too far off buy. 🤔 Of course I don't need them, as in need to keep warm due to not having warm trousers, but my needs are based on peace and well being. Wearing such finery gives me pleasure, so why not I ask.🧐 🤔
