As Mark (1875 ) was keen on designer products, thought I’d ask what bouncers preferences were 
Lacoste for me

Lacoste for me
Thought he had started one previously but thought I’d do a follow up for himMark launched a comprehensive thread on this:
On the back of @gun ainm’s jeans thread, it got me to thinking what are your favourite, go to brands? I will start:
Jeans: M&S
T shirts: Stilll Lacoste for me, but I probably have almost as much Benetton nowadays. I still buy some sportswear for hols and heat and like new balance for that. I have a few adidas, original casuals and Barbour round necks too.
Trainers: I was 99% adidas for years but now only wear Diadora Camaro, they just fit me nice. I have some adidas nebzeds for ahem sport.
Jumpers and sweatshirts: Lacoste and a couple of Benetton
Jackets: Barbour, the north face and...

In one line Joe, I'd recommend Scandinavia for tops, Japan for trews, and her majesty's England for shoes.
Dinnae like big logos on clothes, maybe something the hibs shop could take into consideration for us more mature folk. Maybe a bit more discreet badges etc.Don't care really. If it's fake and cheap with no big logos or writing then all good. Most of my clothes are unbranded local clothes but if I want something a wee bit smarter then it's usually Adidas.
I'll wear most brands but I do pretty much only buy Replay jeans. Well made for the price I think.As Mark (1875 ) was keen on designer products, thought I’d ask what bouncers preferences were
Lacoste for me![]()
Chevignon was brilliantIn the early days, there was a number of great sports labels that we all use to purchase in Olympus sports, Ellesse, Lacoste, Fila, Sergio Tachnni etc. Then you had your clothing labels, Best Company, Ciao, Chippie, Fiorucci, Retour, Replay, Emporio Armani, Hugo Boss, C17, Chevingon, Navy Arctic, Boneville, CP Company, Stone Island. Purchased in Buzzini, Cruise clothes, Ecco.
I wept when Matalan at Seafield closed @blue toon hibby !!!!As long as it’s comfortable, reasonably priced and not maroon, i care not a jot who made it.
You must be one of the youngest on here, think I could be the second oldest 77 sunset stripUsed to be a bit of a clothes horse and was into all sorts: Barbour, G-Star, Replay, AllSaints, AMI Paris, CP Company, Stone Island, Y3….. I could go on. In my late thirties now and have moved more towards things without logos from Blacksmith Store among others. Still enjoy a pair of Replay jeans and a nice CP Company jacket though - without the goggles!
Ah I think there might be a fair few younger than me…You must be one of the youngest on here, think I could be the second oldest 77 sunset strip![]()
Either your spelling is duff or the scarf is a copyI get cheapo jeans as they used to end up getting worn to work.
Got my Hugo Boss hat on today and my Aquascutom scarf.

Lookee lookee Polo shirts were quite commonThe spelling of bad mate honest. Years ago there was a load of snide Lacoste on the go and for some reason it seemed mainly to be socks.
The crocodile of course came off in the wash. Me and my mate used to stick the crocodile onto our white overalls and tell the young geezers that they were Lacoste ovvies.
I was in the one at Fort Kinnaird at the weekend. Why the fuck do they absolutely need to have so many clothing items so tightly squeezed in together on their rails....Still haven't got over the TK Maxx at Meadowbank closing. Kept me vaguely presentable for years.
Good stuff. Anyone who goes to Next or whatever, should give it a go: far more bang for the buck and imo more tasteful.@egb_hibs recommendation a while ago about Uniqlo was a good one for me. If you want nicely made gear with minimal or no branding visible at a reasonable price give 'em a go. Think I got 2 polos, a linen shirt and a merino wool crew neck jumper for not much over 100 quid.
C17, forgot about that, loved their stuff. Was Soviet not a decent brand back in the day? I'm sure there was another top brand called Matanique (or something like that)In the early days, there was a number of great sports labels that we all use to purchase in Olympus sports, Ellesse, Lacoste, Fila, Sergio Tachnni etc. Then you had your clothing labels, Best Company, Ciao, Chippie, Fiorucci, Retour, Replay, Emporio Armani, Hugo Boss, C17, Chevingon, Navy Arctic, Boneville, CP Company, Stone Island.

It's hard to get my wee paws in to rummage!Only look at green tops in TK Maxx to save rummaging through everything…
Lacoste ovvies with an Aquascutum scarf is a mind blowing lookThe spelling of bad mate honest. Years ago there was a load of snide Lacoste on the go and for some reason it seemed mainly to be socks.

Paul Smith for me

I had two cracking jumpers in the 80's.Lyle & Scott
Did they have a shop on Princes Street?The shop they had in Waverley was usually decent.
Left a yellow Burberry T-Shirt in Majorca, many years ago.Burberry
Not from memory, but could be wrong. Also Buzzini and I think Ricci was called McKenzie and Smiths either side of being Ricci.Did they have a shop on Princes Street?
I mind when Next was Hepworths, my dad had an account there. He was separated from my mum and living in Aberdeen by then and would feel guilty so left his Hepworths card with me. Rinsed with highly shan trendy clothes. Looking back some of my choices were really grimGood stuff.

Same for the designer chaps tbh.
