As I’ve never used the word«dude» in my life, I always feel a bit out of place in Fat Face, it seems aimed at the outdoorsy extreme sports types, but appears to sell the stuff they would wear when they’re not actually doing their extreme sports outdoorsy stuff, if that makes sense. It’s all very high quality, but everything seems to be grey, biege, or a khaki green colour so it all merges into one and nothing really jumps out and catches the eye. If you can get beyond the lack of primary colours I’m sure there’s plenty to find in here, but I can never seem to be bothered.

Ah, Fat Face, you never fail to disappoint. Stocking what should be quirky, off-beat and fashionable garb, Fat Face always seems to fall just short of great. I used to wander in here quite frequently and have a bit of a look around, but I’m not sure I ever actually purchased anything. I did buy an absolutely gorgeous scarf once, but returned it because my reasonable mind(and my bank balance!) won in the end, convincing me that £20 is not an acceptable price for a scarf whose near-twin I could buy at Republic for half the price. I think it’s a good store for stylish outdoorsy types, but again, the prices are inflated that little bit too much to be deemed reasonable. They have an outlet at McArthur Glen in Livingstone, but I seem to remember there being nothing quite like what they sell in the actual stores. Often the children’s stuff is more appealing than the ladies. All in all, often pretty, but never really worth it.

I tried on a pair of jeans in fat face one time and couldn’t quite figure out what was wrong with the look. They fitted well, were well made from what i could tell and thanks to a «our prices are totally over inflated throughout the year so here’s a sale that brings them down to a just about reasonable, ah go on you might as well have a look and see whats what» sale. Anyway, back to the jeans. Well they made me look like i was one of those older dad type creatures trying to look like one of those younger dad type creatures. You know the ones. Alas, the gear in here is nice enough, but god its pricey. Seeking a market which likes the idea of outdoors but shy’s away form the reality of mud, rain, fresh air and any kind of exertion, Fat Face is worth a look, but only really if there is a mighty sale offer.
