MancWanderer Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Started to reply on here about Fred Perry but went upstairs to check..... Hoody - 2 Trackie top - 4 Sweatshirt - 2 Trackies - 2 Shoes - 12 Jumpers - 3 Long-sleeve shirts - 6 Short-sleeve shirts - 4 Polos - 9 (plus 4 that have been relegated to decorating gear) T-shirts - 5 Slider flip flops - 2 Swimming shorts - 2 Man bag - 2 Shoulder bag - 1 Barrel bag - 1 Key ring - 1 Wallet - 1 Baseball caps - 3 Gilet - 1 Perry is fucking ace. I keep it away from Mrs Manc and cold wash it in the sink and it lasts forever. Some of the above gear is over 10 years old and still looks good. I’m not a problem at Xmas and birthday. I just get more Perry. FiL loves it. If I’ve “outgrown” summat or got bored of it I give it him. He goes to the boozer to watch the Massives and the locals all comment on the 75 year old rude boy and his “threads” My name is Manc and I have a problem....

If so I’ve got blue black and grey they are superb. also got the more casual ones in a couple of colours. Great for knocking about in those ones. I’ve not been out of shorts bar one day in lockdown and that was only for 2 hours. The swim ones Got some Paul and shark ones for £70. I love SI got a a few coats jumpers and T-shirt’s and it fuckin lasts so don’t mind paying more for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed with me ever since. Perry has never been peasant clothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact. I actually used to have a sock And boxers addiction of sorts. Had two drawers of a chest of drawers for simply socks and boxers. Must have had 80 pairs of socks and 25/30 pairs of Boxers Not so much now but socks I will still buy some most months although none since lockdown now I think of it.

Dr Faustus Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 ralph lauren socks are comfy as fuck tbh, I work and relax in the same clobber- I own one pair of a jeans and a suit. other than that its (often custom designed) t-shirts and shorts got a bit of L&S- jacket, sliders etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Currently Jeans are Edwin, T-shirts I'm not picky as long as it's got a good print on the front. Don't like plain tees. Shirts/polos don't wear em so no pickyness there Outerwear is usually Alpha Industry or Carhartt. I own 1 pair of Clark's brogues to be worn with my 1 suit for weddings and funerals. 1 pair of steelies for pitching in on the woodland with the FiL and one pair of warm boots for winter dog walking. Trainers are mainly Nike/Jordan with the odd pair of vans or Adidas thrown in. Looking to try and buy British made when replacing stuff now. Costs a bit more but I'm hopeful the quality difference will make it worthwhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Been having a shopping spree since lockdown. 7 Fred Perry polo shirts. 1 Fred Perry Harrington. 1 Fred Perry Crew Neck Pullover. 1 pair of Adidas Trainer's and a pair of Wrangler straight leg jeans.
