Okay I can take it. If I said that I thought some of the clothes in the Lands End catalogue look quite nice, does that make me the world's greatest frump?

Because I think some of them do look quite nice.

Burn it quickly.
Tis minging.

Or..give us a link.

CristinaTheAstonishing · 09/10/2007 22:49

Link, please. Then we can judge

NKF · 09/10/2007 22:50

I can't do links. But I kind of guess from your reaction than I'm making a mistake. It's a blazer. Made in boiled wool which does sound disgusting I agree. And it looks practical and warm. Jeez. Listen to me....

I ordered the jeans and they were really high waisted.
I know what you mean ,some of the cashmere is nice,not much else though,except of course their coats.

land's end

brimfull · 09/10/2007 22:53

bolied wool....why almost boden-like

NKF · 09/10/2007 22:54

That sort of thing but not that colour. Is it horrible? I'm so wedded to comfort and practicality I sometimes get it very wrong.

This swim dresslooks quite forgiving

NKF · 09/10/2007 22:56

Forgiving but unforgiveable!

moondog · 09/10/2007 22:59

Quite NKF.
Anyone wearing that deserves immediate arrest.

That boiled wool thing is nice.

I had one like that from Boden and wore it to death for 4 years. Passed it on to my mother and it still looks nice.

pneumalifenewname · 09/10/2007 23:00

this boiled wool effort is less forgiving/forgivable

moondog · 09/10/2007 23:01

Uh oh....
Looks like a mental asylum uniform

pointydog · 09/10/2007 23:07

oh dear.

The fact they have a Blazer and Jacket section rather than just Jackets is enough tomake me run screamin gto the hills

pirategirl · 09/10/2007 23:18

pmsl @ the term boiled wool. whatever next.

that first jackey was (looks around) fine. I sometimes look at those mini freebie brochures you get with the trashy supplemets on a weekend, and think 'who' buys this, its the embroidery collared strached blouses that really get me a going

oh and the court heels, in an amzing array of colours, esp tan which makes yu loo like yuo r not even wearing a shoe when combined with american tan pop socks.

i need to buy a different paper dont i.

moondog · 09/10/2007 23:37

It's not the Mail is it??

pirategirl · 09/10/2007 23:58

lol, no the mirror, i dont care, i like trash, REAL trash. Not trumped up (Mail) trash.

I sometimes buy it for my star signs, hell i need any insights in print i can get.

NKF · 10/10/2007 16:41

Okay, I said I could take it. The consensus seems to be that any temptation to purchase from the LE catalogue should be resisted. I thought as much somehow.

But if it's to prevent you buying from Cotton Traders it's acceptable as a sort of halfway house. Like Mathadone.

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 10/10/2007 16:46

Actually I have these

NKF · 10/10/2007 17:01

Oi. Cotton Traders! I've never even been temmpted.

OP posts:
pointydog · 10/10/2007 17:10

'Sassy' isn't the first adjective that comes to mind, saggar

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 10/10/2007 17:13

PMSL pointy. I'll hold my hand up to having dreadful taste in shoes.

Budababe · 10/10/2007 17:21

Any views on this coat?

Mercy · 10/10/2007 17:24

I'm going to buy one the squall jackets - can't decide which one atm - and maybe one or 2 jumpers/tops.

There is a v nice raincoat in the sale section, but not in the size colour I want!

I'm all for comfort and practicality, especially for winter. I've spent too many years buying 'fashion' items. (waits for UD to tell me off)

lovey · 10/10/2007 17:26

Uh oh..stay away from Lands End, unless want to look frumpy and like a....frump

But you may look beautiful in it!
