An uncle in law of mine worked in there close to 50 years ago. Was never inside the door but I would imagine a well got man about town like @Fagan_ODowd has an item or two from there

I passed it loads of times and went in once or twice during the “sales” but I never bought a stitch out of it. Ditto the place down the street, Michael Barrie. I always got the impression that these places were servicing a clientele more twinkly than me.

In this context, “twinkly” is used to describe a clientele that is more sophisticated, stylish, or perhaps more affluent than the speaker. It suggests that the customers of these places have a certain sparkle or charm that the speaker feels they lack. Essentially, it conveys a sense of exclusivity and a higher social status.

Essentially ChatNCC, their clothes weren’t designed for my more rustic frame.

With rent increasing is now the time to buy a 2nd property from the bank

I remember my first “proper” job in 1996 I was getting 800 pounds a month. I was living at home and spent the lot on booze and (it is me) clothes. I was fucking loaded. I was going to London in 99 or 2000 for a weekend and before I went I went to Alias Tom in Grafton Aircade and bought a leather jacket for 1200 euros. By that stage I was probably making 3000 euros a month. It was like a rocket ship I have the jacket in the attic still at home. I couldn’t throw it out. I don’t regret any …

I once looked at a Prada parka in there with racoon fur but it was pre smoking ban and a cigarette burn would have destroyed it such was the material.

Must be.
