I am finding this again and again, you find a clothes company you like, you shop there for a couple of years, then they start going downhill, quality falls, they start diversifying their product, usually into bed linen, bedroom slippers and oven gloves. Are we all constantly buying bed linen and bedroom slippers? I haven't bought new bedlinen for years, and even slippers are not bought that often.
It is not a particularly British pehenomena, I live between Britain and France and I am finding the same thing there, chain stores I used to shop in regularly, I no longer even visit because the quality of the clothing they now sell is so poor.
It has happened to Cotton Traders ( along time ago), more recently Woolovers and several others of you say the same of other companies that I do not shop at.
