Thought I'd put my prejudices aside and have a look in Whie Stuff on Saturday.


Oh dear. The men's section looked a bit like Debenham's circa 1995. An assortment of dull stripy tops in shades of grey and brown. There was one decent bag in there - a dark brown satchel-type affair. But it was ?85! So I won't be wasting my time going in there again.


So what is the consensus on the women's stuff? It looks a bit better to me...

If you were to purchase a wardrobe in there then you would look pretty poor but I find the, how shall I put it, softness of the colours a good base to match with other clothes. I think they are fine... (and until any competition at all exists for male clothing in the area, summat is better than nowt)
James, if you are at the next drinks, i better not stand by you, you little trend-setter. I popped into WS a few weeks ago and thought that i could easily buy quite a lot of their stuff ("debenhams circa 95" or otherwise) IF I could afford it. That'll be another trip to the Mind shop for me, then.

Got to disagree, sorry. I quite like their stuff. It's not high fashion, nor does it proclaim to be. It does go for the preppy-surfer-shabby-chic thing which, I grant you is not everyones cuppa, but I'm pretty pleased with my one purchase.


It is a little over-priced but not compared to its direct competitors such as Jack Wills.


The staff were helpful and the shop front is quite attractive. I might go back for the odd thing now and again but I wouldn't advise anyone to have a whole wardrobe from one place including White Stuff.


Edit: I agree about Banana Republic though...great place (and hats).

I am with Mr Carnell on this one. I didnt think I would ever buy anything in there, as polo shirts and rugger tops are just not my thing. However, when I popped in to have a look inside I found a decent looking shirt and thought what the hell, I will try it on. Its got to be one of the best made shirts I have bought for some time, fits like a dream. I was certainly with you when they arrived James, and still wouldnt wear 90% of the stuff in there, but I love my shirt..

Not been in WS yet, do they do decent shirts? I have my wedding suit, and shoes sorted, but need a nice shirt, and all the ones I keep seeing are jsut sh!te that you expect to see city bankers or chav estate agents wearing...


If not WS, any suggestions on where to get nice (not not tooooo expensive) shirts?


I don't have one, but I see no harm in "man bags"... I personally prefer a record bag though, it tends to do pretty much the same job (less the umbrella) ;-)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
