I wouldn't wear that for servicing my bikes but they know few would. It's a styling spin / cue isn't it? I think it's good looking clothing and the price isn't daft - Levis 501s are £70-80 and a Carhartt work jacket is more than the £110 of the Expensive hipster brand jacket, a Rab or Mantane jacket is £100+, and tbh it can be so hard to find mens clothing on the high st that isn't stupid looking I've all but given up - so this has appeal to me. I'm no fashion victim or wouldn't have much of a clue in that area but plain well-fitted clothes that aren't silly money and last well are all good.

Gildan heavy cotton t-shirts. Less than £10 last for ever. We had a load printed up for our techno night 8or9 years ago. Mine with zero care are still looking great. 2nd hand levis £20 from Beasleys down the market.

I'm clearly not the target market though as most of my day to day clothes come from the charity shop.

^ yeah, £40 for a T-shirt is beyond my VFM rationalisation however long it lasts. At that level I'd buy a Patagonia T for a bit less and feel better about the company I was buying from (same could be said for most Crikey, how much or similar level items perhaps)

Tbf £50 on a decent t shirt is no worse than spending a few grand on a bike. Or £360 on a pair of handlebars. Or £190 on a seatpost.

Was thinking that earlier... but you know the good old saying, "don't talk about my bloody bikes"... So kept it shut for fear of causing a minor war (or a STW

)
