Never really got the workwear thing myself. Maybe because I wear workwear at, er, work. But came across this and thought it looks pretty cool. Not that its for me. But quite interesting. Sure The Cap would like...

Visited the shop last year during a short stay in North Norfolk and bought a couple of their popover/pull-on shirts. You have to order stuff which they post to you, even in the shop, and it is all standard sizes - no MTM, which was a shame. Having said that, the shirts were really well made and I wear them a lot during the summer for casual wear.
Their jackets and trousers were eccentric - the sort of thing worn by those strange chaps with handlebar moustaches and briar pipes and a fondness for Michael Gove, all sported ironically. Not really my thing, as much too close to costume. The wife bought a 40s style dress, which she is very keen on and again the quality was great.

super cool so cool i am almost shivering ,
Made the 5 hour trek their last April and had bought a Marshalsea jacket and the high rise trousers (as a suit ... ) and a couple of waistcoats. Nice quality stuff - but as previously mentioned, nothing to buy in the shop (even if it is stock) and a shopping experience that borders on the surreal.
