Love this shop.
Myself and my husband love this shop. My husband is hard to buy for so I was surprised that he loves their clothes, especially the Guinness tops and jumpers. He especially loves that the sizes are accurate and don't change and he can order online as he knows his size

Great quality
The quality of clothing is very good . The prices are not cheap but not overly expensive . You’d rather pay a little more and be satisfied. Also sensible designs that everyone from young to old can wear.
