Charity shops are good too.

Anyone got any pictures? Might be interested if it was something subtle, but most club leisure wear is shocking IMO.

Pretty much every third person in a nightclub is wearing what you've described.

[Supraninja]

No being funny but my Dad wears Lyle & Scott jumpers coz he is a golfer. Comparing the quality of some of his jumpers (which will be a fair few years old), with the L&S jumpers being sold in the "designer" shops just now is staggering. As he would say, "You could spit peas through them", the new ones are so thin.

[AllyF]

T'is a shame when a smart brand becomes infested by neds. Fred Perry polos went the same way but I think they're gradually clawing their way back.

Still think the new 'HFC' fashion range will be a profitable move by Hibs, though. It'll never beat the Romanov Revolution brand, though.

[fatbloke]

Lyle and Scott did jumpers for Club 86 back in Ian Brennan's days - cost £40 they were smart and warm in winter.

that doesnt matter though does it

all im saying is its not chav wear its just popular the now, its funny how folk are ripping into it for just being popular calling it "chav wear", trends come and go and no doubt what ever the next brand is (iv seen a few luke tops springing up) will be called chave wear as well.

I get the feeling that we're both arguing about different things here. I never said it was chav wear, my point was that it has become popular and the quality of the item is not the same as it was in days gone by.

People can wear what they want, it is of no concern to me. I love my Stone Island jackets, if that makes me a chav, so be it.

i was making a general point because the chav wear seems to be the theme of the thread, but over the years everything seems to be of a poorer quality when you think about it, clothes in general are not made as well as they used to be, probably something to do with mass production and different matirials, although some clothes are made to be like that - football tops for example are lighter than they used to be in the 70's for example because now the are specificly designed to keep you cool.

How are they any different to any other polo shirt (badge aside) ?
To me they all look the same

[Baader]

Chav wear or not - and L&S is a decent brand that, like Burberry before it, has prob suffered by becoming too 'in' (or arguably affordable) - if the club cash in on the brand's popularity then this can only be good for Hibs.

L&S was cooler when it was uncool and Ronnie Corbett was their biggest customer - tis a bit too common now. For me though, I just wish we were visionary enough to put out something like this...

The Savile Row of football merchandise

[Spudster]

It is currently being worn by alot of chav's nobody can deny that. Just an unfortunate scenario. It's a great brand with great history making simple, clean, affordable clothing thats also pretty good quality. As someone pointed out the neds just jump on something at once. Burberry a few years back, I reckon Fred Perry within the next couple of years and there will be more. At the end of the day it's just an eagle badge which in itself is no more offensive than the Ralph Lauren Polo player, the Lacoste crocodile or the Fred Perry crest. The problem lies with the people wearing it not the clothing itself

As for the quality difference compared to the jumpers in the 80s it's quite simple. The product has to be sourced nowadays and isn't made in Hawick like it was originally. To make the product in Hawick a lambswool V neck would be about £150 to £200 in the shops, trickier things like an argyle cardigan would be £250ish. Also the fact the Hawick factory could never keep up with the production numbers they do nowadays.

When Lyle & Scott Vintage (re) launched about 5 years ago the lambswool jumpers were still made in Hawick but over the last 3 years or so it's become impossible to carry on with UK made product.
FWIW I think the lambswool jumpers are still excellent quality (they are the ones with the code starting MT) as are the polo shirts.

Does anyone have a link to this info or able to cut and paste from the newsletter?

[SvenNeil]

From today's newsletter:

Hibernian FC's new fashion label hits the Clubstore racks next week as the first HFC Originals lines are unveiled. The Club has listened to supporter feedback and developed a full range of merchandise that focuses on subtle branding based on the original Hibernian badge and iconography as its defining features.

Starting from only £9.99 and covering limited range Famous Five tees and hoodies, through to a unique selection of luxury Lyle & Scott pullovers and polos, HFC Originals is designed to cover all age groups and styles. Watch out for more HFC Originals information and imagery via the Club website soon.

I wonder what our resident fashion meister Dashing Bob S has to add to the fashion debate?

As for me - I'll stick with cheapest clothing money can buy. The OP has expensive tastes that I could never afford...

[greenlex]

So whats a Lyle & Scott V kneck and a Clitoris got in common then?

[joe breezy]

It's funny as for ages Lyle and Scott was a classier version of a Pringle simply because more people had Pringle's (this was 1984 mind).

More recently Lyle and Scott have realised that casuals made it trendy in the 80s so capitalised on the cool factor and reintroduced the jumpers and polo shirts etc.

It all used to be made in Scotland - hopefully at least some of the knitwear still is.

I'd happily wear a Lyle & Scott cashmere jumper. Not with a Hibs badge on it though.

(Just read the email - If the Hibs badge is subtle as they say then a polo shirt could be good, well done Hibs for getting some decent stuff in, although I'd happily pay double for some that is made in Scotland)
