Hush clothing

[marshmallowmix]

Anyone still buying Hush? There used to be threads about the clothes not seen much of late…
I went to the sample sale first time at one was okay a bit if a mixed bag stuff faulty etc …got a few bargains !

I've bought a few sweatshirts and pairs of jeans from Hush this year but all in the sale. I've found the quality good.

They used to be one of my 'go to' online shops but I find it astronomically expensive for the quality now. I stick to the sales and buy second hand on Ebay. Too many disappointments.

That said, I did pay full price for their barrel leg jeans this season. I like them but they take ages to dry so I end up tumbling them dry. At £90 they were crazily overpriced.

I agree with pp that customer service is terrible. I has some satin cargoes that laddered at the seams after 3/4 outings. I returned them as faulty (a very arduous process, not the same as a simple return) and I received a very patronising email and a grudging refund.

I used to buy lots from between 6-10 years ago and was on the ‘ Hush ‘ threads - recognise @EllaPaella from there. I have bought much less over the last few years as felt their styling had lost its way. Everything too baggy, oversized and grungy which at 5’4 doesn’t work for me.
I am wearing their ‘ Nana jumper ‘ from back then this evening - I wouldn’t wear it out anymore but it’s still great for wearing at home. A lot of my wardrobe is still older purchases from them.
I did buy a couple of jumpers this autumn and a skirt in the summer sale.
Apart from their t shirts though I do think the quality is ok and certainly no worse than other retailers in the same price bracket.

Oh yes, I still have my Nana jumper too. I thought this might be its last year tbh but I sat and debobbled it carefully during the storm yesterday, and then hand washed it and today it’s looking very perky again.

I like Hush clothes but the quality has definitely changed over the years - I never pay full price. T K Maxx often have items which are really cheap.

👋 Hello @Nearlyadoctor, I remember you well from the Hush threads. Hope you're keeping well and interestied to know where your shopping habits lie these days!

Oh, I didn’t realise their knitwear had form for being destroyed by the wash. I havent got much from Hush but last month I got a wool-blend jumper still with the tags from the charity shop - popped it in the wash following their instructions at 30c and it came out felted and bobbly, I was furious! But at least I hadn’t paid their prices for it…

@EllaPaella 👋 - all good thanks. Still some Hush, Mint Velvet, Holland Cooper, White Company. Still wearing the star jeans from a good few years ago in the slightly warmer weather , although have a sneaking suspicion the fairies keep shrinking the waistband 😂.
Tbh generally fed up with everything being polyester and very little natural fabrics, despite the criticism a lot of my older Hush knitwear and sweats are still going strong.
I bought some jeans from Stradivarius in Barcelona ( much cheaper than here) which are amazing but I did need them shortened , also got a couple of knitted tops from Massimo Dutti but unfortunately they don’t seem to be wearing well.
Where are you shopping these days? Any gems I’ve missed?

@Nearlyadoctor bit random for me, I can't say I have a particular go-to place anymore but knitwear from Cos, Toast, Eribè have been my favourites over recent years. Nine Pine, Arket, River Island and Marks and Spencer seem to be the places I buy from the most. And I have developed a bit of an obsession for jeans and trousers from Free People 😁

The star jeans! They were probably my all time favourite jeans. Unfortunately mine got a hole in the knee (but to be fair were absolutely worn to death). I wish they'd bring them back!

I have bought a couple of Hush jumpers and not been impressed by the knitwear quality/longevity and the T shirts are really
comfy but shrink but the jeans are good and I bought a lovely jacket recently in the Jan sale. Full price has got very pricey though.

I got some on eBay! Love them.

Never bought from them before but I saw some trousers in the sale and was so amazed that they were fully lined. I don't think I've seen fully lined trousers for years. I kept them.

I did my first Hush order in the new year and was appalled by the quality, sent it all back. Bought a £200+ coat that felt like Primark quality.

I used to buy a lot from Hush but have found the last year or so it's all very samey.

There full prices are way too high; I got the Matilda cotton top for £5 at the sample sale no way is it worth £40 full price....you can get similar for half that in other shops...

Agree @sweetpickle2 re their coats the quality is terrible I saw a few at the sample sale where they were asking £60 for coats most were originally over £200 tried a few on and they were absolutely rubbish quality ...

@Drivingoverlemons what's the sizing like on the star jeans, I am a size 10/12 ,there's a pair in a 10 on ebay but they say the waist is 34 that's big for a size 10 do that mean I need a size 6? or as second hand maybe they have stretch out,

I have never had them before (despite having had my eye on them for years) and the sizing for mine was very generous @lindyloo57 . I got a preloved 14 and they are a roomy comfy fit which I was pleased about because a 14 in M&S feels too small these days. In fact I might even need a belt. Clearly Hush sizes large but that suits me fine at the moment 😂

I, too braved the Hush sample sale. As PP mentioned, huge queue, overcrowded. And so many damaged items and non-natural fibers. Picked up some pyjamas and a cotton jumper. Definitely not worth the listed price!

Similar to others, I bought loads from around 2012-2020 but I’ve had too many things of exceptionally poor quality, jumpers shrinking, bobbling and jeans ( beloved star ones) just splitting- they weren’t too small but split from the stars. I haven’t bought anything for a couple of years. Sad as I really loved them!

Oh thanks for the heads up, I won't order from a company that charges.

The size 10 I had definitely did not have a 34 inch waist. I was a standard size 10 in Hush and have a 27/28 inch waist. I had those star jeans in a 10.

Sorry tagged the wrong person! That was in response to @lindyloo57

@lindyloo57 I would say the star jeans were fairly true to size. My size 8 are a 26inch waist albeit they’re tight now as my waist has expanded 🙄

Apparently there is going to be another sample sale coming up soon at Sandown Park.
