Very good selection of clothes and prices. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful, that being said it feels like they're constantly trying to sell you something. I think they just need to tone it down a little bit.
I visited once and bought a few items and they even gave me a nice discount, the second time it felt like speaking to car dealers with how they were trying to sell stuff across.
For the prices they charge it's better to wait for the sales, however that being said I bought a camel overcoat and within a couple of months the seams had frayed and the buttons fell off plus it was not very insulating. For the price paid I would say it isn't great quality.
My favourite experience was at summer when they tried to convince me that wearing a jacket would cool me down as it had 'air conditioning' properties, and was so light it just falls off you, and even demonstrated it by blowing a sleeve out of their hands. It was so entertaining the other staff laughed at their employee - presumably in complete disbelief he was trying this hard.
Personally I prefer T.M. Lewin, the sales staff are very helpful and don't feel like they're trying to sell you stuff so hard and also the quality between the two appear to be very similiar. I wouldn't return.
