Hmmm never noticed myself, i was too amazed to find a shop in Leicester thats sells decent gear to worry about how much they stocked. They did have a decent selection of EG last time I was in. Do you live in Leicester darko?

Sorry to go off topic but whilst this thread is up here, where do people go to get alterations done in Leicester? I always end up going to some foreign geezer in the silver arcade cause I don't know anywhere else

Yeah, is sa-kis still open? My pal went the other day to see if there was any decent sale stuff and said it was pretty much gone, thought they might be having refurb or something. Anyone shed light?

I always use the Clothing Alterations Co. (unimaginitive name, I know) in St. Martins Square, they've always been brilliant. Bunch of old dears in there that have been doing that sort of stuff for years, had them taper trousers, sleeves, all sorts, had them shorten the sleeves on my EG reverse sateen engineer jacket and add extra button holes and they did an excellent job.

I've heard that the guy(s?) that run the place are minted and so it's a bit of a hobby more than anything. Might be bollocks though…
