If the shop is prepared to hold stock and let me try things out I'm prepared to pay a few quid extra for them to still be there next time I need them.

It's by no means all Frank Thomas stuff. In a word, yes, I thought it was good.

Just found two piece Hein Gericke leather suit. £200 bit of a bargain. Anyone had HG leather? I've had their textiles and they were good but not had their leather stuff.

As mentioned up there, my end-of-line bargains were HG leathers. They're absolutely fine.

Yes mine are good, they seem good value for the money my leathers have become like wearing a second skin. I prefer leather to textile, but thats just me.

Btw, infinity in Farnborough has recently turned into an outlet store, not sure what exactly they have just seen the sign outside, may be worth a look.
