Are there any shops in Cardiff that sells the ones with tartan lining?
Also are there any decent shops for mens clothing there these days? :thumbup:

If you don't mind a trip over the bridge, Marcruss store on Anchor Road Bristol always has a range of colours and sizes. Not the City one though :hehe:
Got 2 Baracutas. They fetch decent money 2nd hand on EBay but can’t part with them even though I haven’t worn either for about 10 years.Quote:

Gwyn's upstairs in the market.
You can also get butterfly collared shirts, tank tops and stay pressed two tone pants :thumbup:
Edit: i might have made the last bit up.
The first bit might not be too accurate either
I lived for my black Harry and also my red one. Purchased from Gwyns in Cardiff. Really wanted a dark green one but as rare as hens teeth back in the day.Quote:

I loved that shop on a Saturday morning.
Couldn't afford any of it but went anyway.
I bought my Crombie in Gwyns.
What was the name of the shop he had just outside the market next to the market tavern?
When you think back, Gwyn's must have been raking in the money over the years. Who hasn't bought something from that shop at some time in their life? He must have clothed half of Cardiff and the valleys! And yet the stall wasn't that big, so I would imagine the rent wasn't that high. Fair play though, he had his finger on the pulse and knew exactly what the 'in' thing was at the time.Quote:

Was it Alfred Gwyns ?Quote:

I got mine (tartan inside) from the first floor of the tattoo shop in Castle Arcade; can’t remember the shop’s name and may not be there anymore. They did a great line in Warrior shirts too.
Coz we wouldn't have had this wonderful walk down memory lane had it been googled.Quote:
