Your local shop


Ok, so at ACR we quite like to shop around online, find the bargains and all that but in our opinion you cannot beat going down to your local menswear shop and having a good mooch.

So, being the easter weekend, I thought I'd have a quick pop into my local S.I Stockist yesterday and it hasn't changed a bit since I last went in their 4/5 months ago. Squeeky floorboards, dark, small, and line upon line of coloured jumpers packed in like sardines. I'd seen cheaper prices on much of the stock the day before on Bagga but I thought I'd try on some OneTrueSaxon stuff they had in, and I suppose this is where the street shop wins hands down, it's great to be able to try on the stuff before you spend your money.

It made me wonder, what is the optimum level of lighting, space, stock that would encourage us to go back in? Let us know your thoughts on your local shop/s by commenting here or sending us your thoughts via email aclothingreview@gmail.com

And if you fancy popping into Bagga if you're down Chislehurst way (Kent) they are number 14 on the high street, BR7 5AN.
