Shopping

[ciphergoth]

Where's the best place in London to shop for

• a pair of cheap, real Army surplus combats
  
• plain black lycra leggings
  
• a long leather coat, under GBP 200?
  

Network switches arrived - there's an indefinite delay on Lili's new graphics card, so I asked for the switches to be delivered seperately. I have taken some spare cables at work - the price was that I learn how to make up network cables, a skill I was very happy to acquire (OW-O-GW-B-BW-G-NW-N). So network games ahoy! I think we have plans for other sorts of games tonight though :-)

Back to mine tonight - even though the washing machine now works in Streatham, there's a bit of a backlog. And I want to pick up some clothes.

Have a look at the leather shops along Brick Lane if you haven't already. I found Xile quite good (and very helpful) in particular.

My first jacket was Xile, from when they had an outlet in Ken market. My current one is from some other random shop on Brick Lane - best to walk up and down to find the best price - there's no shortage of places. Some claim to do wholesale only but most do retail. Much cheaper and better quality than anything in Camden.
