As the title says, thinking of the likes of Barbour, Hunter, Toms and going back a few years to Burberry, and all counterfeit! I'm sticking to my Bench and Skechers!

Salmotrutta · 20/11/2013 22:15

Yeah - because Bench and Skechers are decent brands...

Fuck sake. Get a grip. I have a Barbour and hunters. I don't care who else has them. I like them and that's enough

BellaVita · 20/11/2013 22:17

Keep your Bench and Skechers.

Salmotrutta · 20/11/2013 22:17

I actually have an ancient Barbour.

It's well-worn, has a proper lived in look.

I'm a country person and I wear it because it's waterproof.

Geckos48 · 20/11/2013 22:18

Didn't Burberry stop making 'that' fabric because it got too mainstream and copied?

I think really 'decent' brands dont need to have logos stencilled all over them...

usualsuspect · 20/11/2013 22:18

I have a barbour lookalike from Tesco.

I'm classy as fuck,me.

Financeprincess · 20/11/2013 22:18

Their money is as good as anybody else's!

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/11/2013 22:18

I'd go for Mackenzie if i were you... Grin

It annoys me that brands such as Hunter have become shite (in quality) since they became popular as a fashion item. I always used to have Hunters, they were pricey but lasted years and were warm and comfy. Sadly no longer the case.

FreudiansSlipper · 20/11/2013 22:19

what do you mean by chavs?

people who are as not as good as you so should not have designer clothes

Usual You chav you, mines from New Look. Yes, high class.

MaryZygon · 20/11/2013 22:20

Hey, Hully, will you come and sort out the fuckers who are cheating on your book thread?

It isn't fair, they aren't following the rules at all [huffs]

lifesgreatquestions · 20/11/2013 22:20

Silly chavs, who do they think they are?

YouTheCat · 20/11/2013 22:21

Aw if they want to waste their money on over priced crap then that's up to them.

I'll start complaining when they start wearing Tu and M & S. Grin
