joules "harbour" tops

27 replies

greenroofedhouse · 23/04/2017 21:45

I need a very simple wardrobe as a sahp and i wash my clothes often due to snot/cream cheese/ cleaning the house daily etc.

I have one of these already and love the shape and weight of the top but i'm not sure about the name sewn onto the neck.

any thoughts on these style of tops? are they too branded? do people care?

The harbour tops are a nice quality. The logo to the back is naff, though, unfortunately. I usually wear them with a scarf.

TessTube · 23/04/2017 22:16

Sea salt ones are nice and don't have the logo.

I've got a few Joules ones though as they are nice quality - I don't like the logo though.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 23/04/2017 22:54

I've got a few of the Joules ones but I've got long hair so I don't notice the logo. I think it's on the arm as well. The seasalt ones are lovely too but ever so slightly thinner fabric and more expensive, unless you can get the two for £40 offer.

I have been looking at these after seeing them recommend on here, can anyone tell me if the material is thicker than the breton tops from Boden?

TessTube · 23/04/2017 23:03

Yes they are very thick, much thicker than Boden ones.

Sea salt are in the middle I got one randomly for 8 quid in John Lewis sales and it's washed beautifully.

CrazyPrepared · 23/04/2017 23:07

Perfect thankyou, that's what I was hoping someone would come along and say, now to decide which colour.

MyOtherDogIsAPorsche · 24/04/2017 11:42

Uniqlo ones are great quality and wash well, though slightly short in the body for me at 5'9".

BikeRunSki · 24/04/2017 11:43

Actual Breton shirts from sailing shops are even better.

BikeRunSki · 24/04/2017 11:45

These are awesome

blueskyinmarch · 24/04/2017 11:45

I have two that i wear constantly. I don’t think i have ever given the logo on the back even as much as a passing thought. Why would anyone care about this?

AlfaMummy · 24/04/2017 11:55

I have loads of Joules tops - I live in them. Perfect with skinnies and a nice coat or jacket. Good for around the house and also out and about. I don't mind the logo as I think it's quite nice (as far as branding on clothes goes).

User2468 · 24/04/2017 11:57

I bought a cheap one in Gap the other day for about £14, am yet to wash or wear it!

Last I looked Joules were all 3/4 sleeves Confused

VintagePerfumista · 24/04/2017 13:40

The Joules ones are amazing. They have an outlet on ebay where you can get them for about a tenner cheaper. I have the shocking pink fine stripe.
Boden are crapola quality.
Am awaiting a Seasalt order excitedly!

Sheusedtobesomeonelse · 24/04/2017 14:02

I also second the Uniqlo ones - DD has one and the quality is quite surprising for the price.

I was in Decathlon at the weekend, in their sailing section they had a nice couple of stripy ones (it had the Tribord Decathlon make on the arm i think , but not overly visible), didn't have time to try on but will inspect closer next time - perhaps worth a look online?

AlfaMummy · 24/04/2017 15:21

Joules tend to do the 3/4 length sleeves in the spring/summer, and full length in autum/winter. As PP says do check out their eBay store for deals and also the clearance section of their own website.

greenroofedhouse · 24/04/2017 18:43

thanks for opinions! i like how thick the joules ones are and the shape holds after washing. thinking of trying the seasalt ones if they are on 2 for £40. where has that offer?

greenroofedhouse · 24/04/2017 18:50

Can someone tell me how to find the joules outlet on eBay please

ChibiTotoro · 24/04/2017 20:47

Fat Face do nice Breton stripe tops. The cotton feels really soft.

AlfaMummy · 24/04/2017 20:48

Google 'Joules clothing outlet eBay'.

nicky2512 · 24/04/2017 20:55

Ohhh Just googled - they are lovely! I need one. I'm 5'10 though and long of body - would they be too short for me?? Are they fairly true to size? Thank you

CrazyPrepared · 24/04/2017 21:00

Im 5'10 with an abnormally long body are the Joules tops longish in length?

Ellapaella · 24/04/2017 21:04

They are quite long and also I find them quite roomy so personally o size down in joules clothes, I have a harbour top, it's great quality (far better than Boden) and where I usually am a 10 I got an 8 which I think gives a nicer more fitted look.

MrsELM21 · 24/04/2017 21:21

I have 5 of the Joules tops Blush

They're lovely, really thick and wash really well, I'd highly recommend!

greenroofedhouse · 24/04/2017 21:22

i'm large/swimmer shoulders so i bought a 12 so my shoulders didnt look squeezed in but its very roomy in the body and at 5 ft 7, its comes to mid hip.
