I've just seen this on twitter.

Seeing as though mumsnet are their target market, this is very foolish of them.

I can’t see what their changing room policy is. I usually find that a good indicator of which shops to avoid.

No surprise to see ninnynun there defending it.

Just try to imagine some of the more well-known transactivists in Joules clothing and it's very funny. Unless they've introduced a knicker department, it's not exactly a beacon for the AGP and antifa set. If the guys protesting the next feminist meeting are wearing mint and lavender floral sprig balaclavas we'll know the marketing strategy has worked.

Honestly, I wouldn't have know the representation of this flag and if the tweet has been removed - benefit of the doubt?

She must have made a mistake on the tweet and reposted it. It's further down the thread.

I stopped buying there anyway as it's all made in China.

The last couple of years we buy far, far fewer items of clothing but what we do buy is made in the UK and from local businesses if possible. Also not plastic fibres.

Love this. Us too!

Gilets have a right to exist! They have a right to be worn!

Even if they identify as a bodywarmer?

Ndd135632 · 22/10/2022 17:11

Well I went in and told the two female youngsters that that flag happens to be offensive to many women who are their main customer base.

LK1972 · 22/10/2022 13:30

Excellent idea, all the shops that are prepared to throw women under the bus should display THE FLAG, makes them easy to avoid.

This. Strange timing too. And the flag looks like shit.

They are pressing the British waistcoat.

Somanysocks · 22/10/2022 17:22

I like a gilet but only when I want a warm body and cold arms.

Trans bodywarmers have a right to be in the bodywarmer area of the store! Don't discriminate against items Assigned Gilet at Production!

Ah well, it’s not like I’m suffering by not buying any more Joules 😂

It’s not my personal look but the children’s clothes used to be really nice quality, especially the party dresses. In the last 3 years the quality and design has plummeted and I’ve stopped seeing anything really nice there.

Another to add to the high street boycott list along with Wagamama, etc etc….

ArabellaScott · 22/10/2022 17:57

I have the feeling everything from Joules is just slightly too short.

Notmenottodaynotever · 22/10/2022 18:42

I've unsubscribed from their emails today.

BingBongSong · 22/10/2022 18:50

Filia's been amazing today. I didn't attend a single talk on transgenderism. We did cover religious fundamentalism, surrogacy and motherhood though, amongst other topics. So why they're displaying the trans flag, I've no idea. Unless we aren't allowed to talk about anything that affects women anymore Hmm.

They keep the core body temperature warm whilst allowing great freedom of movement.

I was making small talk to someone about how a shirt so thick that it resembled the fabric of a jacket was being called a 'shacket'. I then mentioned how I had seen quite a few long padded/puffed gilets (long as a coat) about. They asked me if this was to be called a 'goat'.

ApocalipstickNow · 23/10/2022 12:15

I’m absolutely horrified that bootcut jeans are still a thing.
