Anyone know where to get a decent Crombie?

[Bomber Denton]

Want to get nice one, any pointers?

[BossCerbera]

I think House of Fraser does Crombie.

Bought mine in London years ago. Me old China.

Depends if you want a Crombie brand.

Hugo Boss do some nice cashmere overcoats. I have a soft spot for overcoats, I seem to have a wardrobe full of them.

[eccles]

primark do some nice fleeces......

I have a really nice one thats lasted me 3 winters so far.

Wear it with collar turned up with jeans for that 'Hitman' look.

Or normal with suit... still in remarkable condition and it set me back less than £100 (can't remember exactly)

Marks and Sparks mate

Thanks for that folks, I'll have a rummage around down here at the recomemnded shops, if no luck there I'm in London next month and I'm sure these fellas will stock them!

Why not the Crombie shop, Jermyn Street?

[Jamassey]

Bought one from Ralph Laurent this year, very good.

Previously had M&S... did the job.

[Tyre Smoke]

FFS!

Derrys at Derrys Cross mate.

You'll look just like a Conference footy manager though.

crombie concession in house of fraser in nottingham is where mine is from. showing amazing guile and cunning I spent a large amount of cash on it and don't wear it to work for fear of getting it dirty or ruining it somehow...great. I have an overcoat from a store in nottingham which looks almost as good and cost about £250, much better idea IMHO

Ah, but does it have a pocket to take your sawn-off shotgun, like a true Crombie?

There is a factory shop (they manufacture for Saville Row) close to the Bentley Factory, Crewe that will make you one to measure for about 300 quid and its the best I have ever seen. Crombie is not what it used to be.

[nervous]

is it Crumbly now?

[jwt63]

Think you would be better off in a Sheep Skin Corin!!

[Balmoral Green]

It would go better with the green wellies anyway.
