thinking of going bicester on sunday.

Pickups I would like to make:

RL shorts / polos and shirts (size small / 14.5 neck)
Rayban aviator style
vilbrequin swim shirts (32/33" waist)

at the minimum, presumably these will be in stock and cost less than general retail? anyone confirm that kind of stuff is in stock?

the journey will cost around £25 so it would have to be way more than 10% discount on retail to make the effort worth while.

Don't think they'll have the Raybans, and don't know about Villbrequin but the shorts will be £20-30, Polos £30 (think they're 2 for £50), shirts £25-40.
So you can recover your travel costs in Ralph Lauren, and anything else you find is a bonus Cool

thank you G_G sunglasses I don't mind paying decent wack for, they have vilbrequin, bit OTT for swimshorts, but have worn a few pairs before (borrowed) and they are the mutts so a good investment.

prob going to travel by train from marlyebone because of the roadworks and its far more relaxing trip.

hopefully I can get some good bargain pickups for my holiday wear.

more good advice. i'd like a pair with the embroided patterns in a garish colour like pink or light blue just for laughs for £60 rather than £140, got plenty of time if i see something I like its a bonus!
