Finistere looks interesting, although from the website they definitely don’t seem to have the whole lifestyle branding thing sussed yet – which is probably a good thing, depending on your point of view.
I have to admit I’ve bought a fair bit of stuff in Howies sales over the years, I think it speaks volumes though that everyone who springs up on these discussions to defend Howies seems to be keen to point out what good value for money their clothing is in the sales…. says a lot about their rrp.
The had-me-down stuff is interesting, a lot of the value seems to lie in the ten year guarantee, which assumes of course that Howies will be around in ten years to honour it.
