Great, thanks. There's a few near me so I'll pop along.

Like I say don't forget the Cult Clothing shops too.

Now I am left with a bit of a quandary. I had been thinking about this one as a treat for my impending birthday but now I think a visit to All Saints is in order to try on that one I linked before. Really prefer the second one to be honest but the M&S one in small fits really well.

The All Saints one, if nothing else for that offset zip. Go try them both on with a normal everyday outfit and see which looks best, depending how you're built and how you carry yourself the offset zip may come across as a bit quirky and trying too hard. If you can pull the look off though the All Saints jacket will look cool as ****

Also look at this site: https://sites.google.com/site/loganscloset/the-mans-shop how epic is that lol

What a gem of a find that is.

Been after a decent cropped leather jacket for ages and never quite found what I wanted.

This is perfect though:

Now to try and work out sizes

I hope he does, just checked the sizing guide and as per I don't match up anywhere but there's a proper custom size chart to download and fill in which is as comprehensive as it gets.

I want.

It's very rare anywhere provides such a comprehensive custom sizing process and for the affordability of the garments it's a very reasonable price to pay for what looks like quality made to measure stuff.

he delivers to the UK, $50 shipping charge. If its custom made (which lets face it, is probably the best option for most of us) it can take around 6 months to deliver...

Fantastic, whoo hoo!

I'm holding off for a few weeks before ordering but I'm having that one.

Yeah you will find a lot of Superdry stuff in Cult Clothing. That's where I bought my Moody Bomber.

That's not really surprising when Julian Started the company in my town called Cult clothing, he then expanded and went on to develop the Superdry brand.
The dude is seriously seriously minted now.

I wouldn't buy any leather jacket without trying it on first...

Raymond Lin · 2 Oct 2012 at 07:37

Or clothes in general for that matter that you can't return it under DSR.

If it was a UK seller with free returns then I would, wait 6 months for it and you are not happy and stuck then it'll be a waste.

I'm willing to take a chance on it - been looking for a cropped leather jacket for a long time and come up with nothing that's made me go 'oooh' like that one has.

Irrational impulse buying

This leather site is much cheaper, and I think the studios also use them as suppliers...

Awesome, thanks matey.

Anyone have any experience with Geox footwear?

I tried a pair of trainer/smart shoes that belong to a friend and they were super comfy.

Think I'll try some of their smart shoes out. Prices seem to be reasonable!

My sis bought a pretty nice one from a shop in Henley-on-Thames. Can't for the life of me remember the name but I will ask her.

Cool, if you don't mind I'd like to know

Speaking of which, I'm after a new coat. I have a proper winter coat, I have summer jackets but I don't have anything in between. Staple for the warmer months is a little denim jacket or a cardigan and it's getting too cold for them now. I don't like wearing my big chunky winter coat unless I really have to.

I've never had any Superdry stuff before but I really like the look of this for a coat that will be warm enough for the autumn and spring mornings but light enough to not roast me on the warmer days.
