Love em! Henley is very nice and well made, boxers on a pa quality wise with RL's,Sunspel etc but has the advantages of not being Far East made a-la RL and a tad cheaper than  Sunspel's.

No lie Seul the Woolrich one i sent back felt more substantial and had a much better zip not to mention it is cheaper than the CD but the CD has better down zoning, not Chinese made, has that cracking blue interior and has that rather handy 'pit pocket'.

You pays your money, you takes your choice.

Cheers for that lad!.. Glad to see someone else takes proud in buying goods not made in China…

[Giles]

I went US 10E.  I am a 10 c/e in Alden…...If that helps.....

[elclintor]

copped.

what a steal!

[Giles]

That is exactly what I thought too El.  Even paying taxes and shipping to UK, I thought they were a good price…..

nice cop G and a interesting site solution they have….

and HD that Choctaw Ridge henley looks great...

@rocket:

and a interesting site solution they have….

Yes, I was very impressed.  Thought I would have to get them shipped to one of my long suffering "proxies", but the Nordstrom solution to international shipping is refreshing and cheap enough for me to not need to hassle my friends (well, Monday, Lando or Doug - they may well deny the friendship bit)….

[rocket]

yeah, the thing with the calculated and guaranteed customs, tax etc, is pretty unique, can't remember that I have seen that before…
