Let me know if it's worth a detour en route to the office tomorrow! Won't be until 1 or so, so probably a waste of time, but you never know. The Vulpine one I went to a couple of months back was very good indeed.

Why on earth would they do it in Manchester?

Surely London would have been much betterer?

People in London can afford full RRP Howies?

Despite working about 5mins stumble away, I won't be going along. I think I've enough clothes as is without buying more. I think I'll go home, then ride my bike in the sun.

If I give you 50p would you guard my bike? 😉

I might also pop into Rapha to have an espresso before heading off home (you can take your bike in there).

The first £100 is the easiest to spend.

well i went in, and although there was some good stuff i didn't make any purchases as i was really hoping to get a pair of selvedge jeans but the only pair remotely near my size, a 33S, were absurdly huge on me.

on me it seems to be, yes (they were quite baggy/loose in cut too, but yeah- i think i'm around a 30" waist now, by their standards)

Was okay, got some epic (their description not mine) jeans that I was after and a winter jacket.
2nd pair of 3/4 bibs for commuting and some t-shirts.

Slightly annoyed that I'd just bought a couple of thing last month, hardly worth sending back to save a couple of quid.

Thanks for PSA, got some nice bits. Was like a big creche too, daughter made a few friends and ended up with another kids monkey/heart bead necklace... just incase they belong to a STW browsing family I am happy to return them!

seem to be a decent selection, obviously more of the larger stuff but it's worth a punt.
Try on the jeans...the 34R I tried were massive long and the 34L were spot on.

Just been over as it's about 150m from my office. Still a decent selection, they kept some stuff back from last night apparently. But def try jeans on - 30" and 34" in different styles were very close around the waist!

What was the pricing like? I may be in london so may pop by, the Vulpine one was stupidly busy but well worth it.
