It's not safe in them thar shops!

Beware - people go to extreme measures to get themselves a bargain - especially during Sale periods and the run up to Christmas...

Several deaths have occurred in the US when over zealous shoppers have crowded streets and malls. According to Wikipedia, the busiest day in the US shopping calendar, is the Friday following Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Thursday in November. On Friday November 28, 2008, a Wal-Mart worker was trampled to death by shoppers who could not wait for the store to open at 5am. They broke through the shop's doors minutes before opening and crushed the unsuspecting worker. According to Reuters, in 2007 135 million people participated in the Black Friday shopping rush!

There is of course cyber space's equivalent to Black Friday, probably only known to geeks and online store managers at this stage, known as Cyber Monday. This is the Monday following Black Friday, and is reported to be the busiest online shopping day of the year. But hey - what's the worst that can happen compared with being trampled to death in the Trafford Centre?

The Mens V Neck Jumper and Mens Crew Neck Jumper is a staple requirement of every mans wardrobe.
For a classically sophisticated look, team this sweater with either a plain, striped or checked cotton shirt, some smart trousers and formal shoes. Alternatively, for a relaxed contemporary look, team either our V neck, Crew neck or Cardigan with a plain white T, jeans and casual shoes and finish off with a cable scarf knotted high at the neck.

The merino Mens Tank Top or Mens Wool Waistcoat is a perfect extra layer for both summer and winter. A flatteringly fine extra layer, favoured by many men as golf attire for the freedom of swing it gives, hopefully leading to the perfect putt! Worn with either a long or short sleeved check shirt, these pieces will keep you looking refined all year long.

Our Merino range really is one of the easiest but most rewarding purchases you could make. The rich, vibrant colours co-ordinate effortlessly with our range of 100% cotton shirts, so whether you wear them together or simply on its own, this purchase will take pride of place in your wardrobe.
