Definitely. Just got a tee through the post from them. Aside from the rapid post, they put a little hand-written thank you note in.

if they answered emails it'd be nice
No one's perfect I guess.
If you're still aching to know after the 28th I'll go in and ask 'em for you, if you like?

I haven't been in glasgow for a while tbh but no update on their website. Still just says spring 2010.
yeah the facebook group has people asking when the stores going to open but no one has replied to them. its weird because they got a delivery of spring originalfake stuff so what they going to do open the store with all the stuff on sale?
whens that happening?
Never been in but always found them really nice and helpful on the phone. Called them today and they were really sound and put something on hold for me.
yeah they are cocks. but i still always go when i'm in london.

I wouldn't really think of Xile as an independent anymore, they own the G-Star stores in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
On Drapers a few months ago their buyer was talking about how they have taken a whack of the budget used for the smaller, independent brands they stock and putting it into the big sellers, such as Lyle & Scott, G-Star etc.. It's on the way to becoming a general high street store.

I thought I was the only person to get one
Agree'd on DSM, proper cool bunch, a couple of weirdo's mind, I always remember some bloke downstairs in black/white stripey clown trousers.
Hideout has goten better, would love to punch that annoying asian bloke in there though, don't know why. (No Tempa T)

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Son of Stag just of brick lane is good.
Staff are very helpful without being pushy. What more do you need?

I rate b store - as well as handpicking a decent selection of designers, the guys that run it are doing their own label, their snug shirt collars are lovely. The staff are laid back and always seem to know quite a bit about what they are selling. They also put on the most bizarre exhibitions. Also would reccommend checking out this season's Liberty own label menswear. Got gorgeous polo shirts for £60 (not on the website though) http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/categorylist/dept/liberty-of-london_menswear?resetFilters=true.
bigforlife, has the new goodlife store opened yet?

Seems DPMHI on Great Pulteney Street is going to re-open, and when it does, that'll be the best. Fucking coolest store in streetwear in myyyy OpiNION.
Based on the article I read in Drapers, seem's it's still independent?

Hideout is probably the worst place I've ever been into for awkward silence and dickhead aloof staff.

As mentioned, recent Drapers interview states that Hardy Blechman retained ownership, an exec from Paul Smith is moving over there, and there are plans to re-open the GPS store. A credible source, and although I have no inside info to support it, I will that as the true situation. No idea when it's happening (the store) but I am sure it will take some time. At a time like this I guess it's logical to release such a statement to re-ignite confidence in them (instead of everyone thinking they're owned by JD and going downhill).
If around Brighton , this is a great place , tiny shop but good stuff

Not really to fuks taste but xileclothing.co.uk won the drapers award for independent fashion retailer a few years ago.
