Vans outlet was great today.
All slip-ons, Eras, Authentics and Old Skools were £10. Stand out pairs for me were Pendelton slips-ons in red or blue, white with gren trim Eras (or authentics, I can never remember which is which), also had white with a black line round the sole. Also had some lovely skate highs, all white canvas with leather toes and black laces, looked very Supreme-esque (if that makes sense). All in al they had about 30 different styles at £10. Bought 3 pairs of slip-ons but one pair was for a mate and one pair my Dad.
Nicole Farhi had some nice tees in but they weren't bargains (I got a black one with thin velvet strips on, £30, pretty sure I saw it for less in Harvey Nics sale but never picked one up). Some very nice boots, still £140 though.
Levis outlet had some nice well-worn jeans in but they were still around £100, variety of sizes, lots of 30s and 32s.
Reiss had a beautiful short pea coat (very like the one Anddy wore a couple of days ago in WAYWT), still £113 though.
Paul Smith had loads of straight leg cords for £40, all 30x32 though. Had a lovely jacket, 4 patch pockets on the front (like an M65) but with a hood with black wool/fur lining. Really nice, £200 but they only had M or L. Lots of nice shoes and a couple of pairs of boots, all around the £140 mark.
Dior had loads of pairs of black cords, 28 and 30 as far as I saw, £50-60. Few pairs of those horrible black jeans with blue denim around the waist. Some really nice waxed/coated black jeans for £110-ish, mainly between 30 and 33 I think. Some very heavily washed jeans (“Bleu Clair†if that helps) for £110, tried a pair on and liked the fit but wasn't sure about the wash, decided I'd only be buying them because they were Dior and I should wait for a pair I really like. Black chino type trousers in large sizes for about £80.
Jacket wise they had nice jackets like a cross between a suit jacket and safari jacket for £385, small sizes. Very nice slightly M65ish jacket in 54 for £300 (I think). Had a nice black leather bomber with 4 or 5 zip pockets on the front, £600, think it was a 50. Had 3 hoodies with an inkblot design I hadn't seen before, red in M and L, white in XL, all £90. Had some red canvas high tops with white leather tongue for £100-ish. Quite a few nice shirts around £80, noticed 40s and 41s but didn't look too closely.

Yup, done it many a time, oly in off peak times though... Your tickets always seem to get checked near Birmingham but not near the London stations.

CovOne. What are you after? It's about as big as the shop in bullring, if that helps. Stock is seasonal, they're quite helpful over the phone if you call em too if you want something specific.
I may be going this weekend, if you want anything then let me know

No problem. It's def worth a visit. They normally stock stuff at 30% off rrp so with the other 30% you are looking roughly half rrp

cracking idea. sitting in a piss-soaked box does not a comfortable journey make.

I went yesterday (Sunday), was very busy, they have built another car park since I last went and every space was full, got a space after 15 minutes which was very lucky.
Very large reductions on good stuff, RL was very good classic fit oxfords in white, blue, pink and candy blue stripe 15" neck to XXL buy 2 or more for £35 each (25 to 35 off), managed to get a few 15" (small) which was good for work.
they had loads and loads of stock of everything, polos, jumpers, casual shirts, chinos / chords, was worth the trip for that alone (based on £15 of fuel)
phaidon had good discount on there books, picked up "pioneers" for £16. not really into many of the brands there, all the big boys had been rinsed by the asians of course.
mulberry had good stuff including holdalls, weekend bags, special edition leathers, even some alexas which were more than £100 off.
my friend picked up a great RL silk top £169 down to £12, nothing wrong with it!, plenty of womens stock as well.
she also got a great smythson coin / card holder for £32 down from 80+ lots of bargains in there.
crepes / pret are expensive though
nearly all asians / europeans there, biggest queues were for uggs and prada.
