We’ll have a march up to the greenhouse and back at about 1:00pm with pumping 80’s Hi NRG disco. If anyone’s interested. Pretty sure I have that exact same shirt somewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their range where they put random size labels inside just to keep you on your toes. I love M&S, I go in there about two or three times a year, look around and every single other customer is some old boy with trousers up around his waist, being dressed by his wife. Then I look at the clothes, and they are mostly jazzy slim fit shirts and skinny jeans, all on the sale rack, line after line of sales racks, hundreds and hundreds of neon pink slim fit t shirts that for some reason, Captain Mainwaring over there refuses to buy. Even at the knock down price of £11 for a single tee. How they are still trading I will never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, deffo the same one and I'd say a good 50% of my entire wardrobe is M & S Today, however I'm rocking a pair of Adidas cotton shorts, a blue T, my Sydney Bridge climb hoodie and a pair of birkenstocks And yes, most of what they sell I would never wear, then they do something daft, which most people won't wear but I think is great and I pick it up in the sale in a size capable of sleeping 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 When I was a skinny indie kid in the 80s I would only buy my cardigans from M&S. Cost me a fortune back then and the elbows lasted an afternoon but always had to be from Marks and Spencers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general their clothes do really last an eternity too, which is why I rarely go clothes shopping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Yep, lack of logo is a big thing. People that pay extra to further promote someone else’s marketing campaign - weird. (Having said that, back in the day I did used to buy Fiorucci jeans which cost a months wages and then cut the logos off, so only the people that recognised the stitching would know! Which was a thing for a short while. I have a dim memory of my mum going apeshit realising I’d spent all my money on jeans and then I’d taken scissors to them. I suspect I’d thought I was a casual) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Slides, crew socks, sports shorts, t-shirt, hoodie and if I have to leave the house snapback. Ain't sh!t changed. Imagine if I actually went into work at the psychiatric ward like that though. They probably wouldn't let me leave. On that note, THANK YOU to whoever it was who posted the story of Olof (or whatever his name was), the Russian guy who took LSD whilst still at work which coincidentally that day was at a psychiatric ward, as he worked for a linen cleaning company or something, and who got himself locked in the building, and consequently there was a Russian who spoke little English tripping on LSD banging on the door to a psychiatric ward to let him out. Poor fella, great story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yeesh, no, don’t get it at all. Fair enough if something ‘happens’ to have a label on it, I’m fairly sure I’ve got some Pringle socks somewhere. But going out looking for branded gear? Not for me. Although, to just contradict myself slightly... Today is a Spillers tee and some off brand sort of three quarter length sort of running sports trouser things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
