I just heard Brant from here on radio 4 with Adrian chiles no less, on a documentary about buying British and the hebden trouser co.

It was a good programme, well worth a listen.

I like Adrian Chiles, used to be married to Jane Garvey, useless fact of the day.

Were they using hebtroco as a case study of how we're soon to find the cost of a typical shopping experience? £150 a pair jeans, £200 for a belt, >£300 a pair of shoes?

I'm sure it's all nice stuff, but blimey!

My friend doesn't get the reference, Could you explain it for him? Did Adrian Chiles drive over himself or something?

Brian Harvey, the lead singer of TrouserTown who was married to Brant once ran over himself while falling out of his Mercedes. I belive his excuse was that he dropped a baked potato.

You lot are funny, I had to look up whether guy garvey was related to Jane Harvey, they aren't.

No idea 're trouser prices I remember the thread on here but didn't read it, are they really 200 quid.

Well done Brant on your 15 mins of fame.

He’d eaten 3 tuna mayo (and cheese) jacket potatoes. (Edited to correct, err autocorrect)

That was the reason he gave, for running over himself, anyway.

That reminds me... I've been saving the pennies up to buy some double black jeans... it's taken me a long time to save up... but I tend to wear jeans for years... there are many different meanings to the word "value"...

Dont think Brant will be on here given his twitter opinions on STW forumites.

🤣 I only just realised it was the STW initials! Nevermind, dont have an axe to grind or anything. Just struck me as odd given the promotion of his various businesses on her over the years. Not that i am in the market for expensive trousers!

Lol, never knew that phrase was used by some in reference to STW.

Can't say I agree with the phrase, it's a decent buch on here on the whole. I'm reminded of that by just 10 minutes on Twitter or fb.

Why are people from the bike industry so interested in a forum dedicated to Brexit, US Elections, Coffee, arguing for no reason, taking lighthearted posts way too seriously and what to do when you’re neighbour is a massive ****? That’s just weird

I'm impressed, after years of being involved with importing Chinese bike bits and undercutting British built/made stuff he's seen the light.

Madame just bought some jeans for junior from 1083. They're made in france and the 1083 name comes from the total distance the materials used travel from raw materials production to finished product. 119e a pair which isn't over the top.

Our Christmas shop included Veets XTR trail running shoes made not far away, underwear from Roubaix, Cocorico T-shirts from the Somme/Vosges. The hoody I wanted from the Somme is sold out till some indefinite date in the future such is demand for locally made stuff.

A trend I'm happy to support.

Didn't he open the door to be sick,then drove over his own head?

I’m sure she could have found some more modern ones if she tried harder.

By coincidence we have Jacket potato’s for tomorrow’s lunch, I’ll make sure the car handbrake is on before I start.

He reversed over his head. That takes more effort.

Wonder if they'll get Joe Cocker to say a few words at the funeral?

As long as they are handcrafted moleskin jacket potatoes, everything should be fine.

Wrote a bit about Adrian Chiles here:-

This thread is still fairly incredible tbh - it's five years this January since we started.

Apparently they'd eaten a few too many baked potatoes and were reversing back because they thought they'd seen Brian Harvey
