TOAST clothes - do we likey?

[Snaf]

Their coats, in particular? I have fallen in love with one but it is quite a big investment for me (make that a very big investment).

I do need a new winter coat, though...

probably not..my eyes kinda glaze over after a couple of secs

did think siberia and russia seem to get a lot of flack on this thread

Agree Toast catalogues are great fun to peruse. Can anyone tell me from personal experience - are the clothes as nice in reality as they look? How's the quality?

I can't believe it! My Woolrich down gilet is now a genuine fashion icon. I can vouch for the fact that they last for ever - I bought it 25 years ago when I au-paired in NY,

They are selling a life-style and tbh I have been seduced by it several times- the reality is over-priced slightly frumpy(but good quality) clothes.

They are able to make extremely expensive dustpan and brushes and pots of orange marmalade appear deeply appealing in their catalogue.

Sorry, distracted by Woolrich. ArcticRoll is right, Toast are all about aspiring to a lifestyle you could never have (you short, fat prole!) and in truth the clothes are grotesquely overpriced and not well-cut if you are a normal person. They are designed to suit only the women in the catalogue who are all 6'2" aristocratic inbreeds.

I don't mind slightly frumpy (some days I aspire to slightly frumpy, tbh). I do want decent quality, though.

I must admit I am seduced by the fact that they are selling a lifestyle, too, but it's a lifestyle that can be mostly conducted in pyjamas. And that's a Very Good Thing, in my book.

I've always been tempted by Toast clothes, they look so great in the catalogue.

They had some Toast dresses in my local TK maxx. i thought they were really poor quality considering the original price of them.

Don't think I will be ordering from them.
