You don't have to pay a king's ransom for top quality. Look at the label on my trenchcoat, then go to https://www.savvyrow.co.uk/ and see their stock. They also buy good quality clothing, although I'm not going to sell them my cashmere Crombie overcoat, that I bought new nearly 40 years ago.

Clothing and shoes are items I wouldn’t even spend a thought about buying second hand.

Couple new English wool sweaters from Outdoor Knitwear! One RAF roll-neck and one crew-neck. They stunk like a barn when they arrived, but a few times through the wash on cold and they're all good now.

I have a fondness for nice woolens, and a similar enthusiasm for vintage forms and advertising. I hope that's not out of place here. The first of the two illustrations below is from unknow advertising, but I believe the second might be from L L Bean, a long time U.S. retailer from the state of Maine. I find both the art and sweaters/jumpers depicted to be of notable interest.

For those who are looking for the less usual, an Opossum/Merino blend sweater.

They’ve also got some Tropic wear and other stuff you might possibly not find at any corner. Fair prices too imho.

I have a possum-merino blend winter hat, and it is unbelievably warm - has to be well below freezing to wear comfortably. Supposedly possum hair is one of nature's best insulators?
