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]

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

@rocket:

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)….

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

Gilt does this as well for the int'l sales but price for one item I checked, went up from 169 $ to 277 because of it (with 19.95 $ for shipping), so eff that system…
