G Star

As a brand I Heart the G-​Star. I love it, I think it’s excellent quality gear, that’s smart casual, and unusual in design, even more so before other brands started copying it, but what is it they say about imitation and flattery. All that said, G-​Star is still pretty unique and the quality of the denim wear is awesome. Can’t state that enough. In all my years trawling around Leeds I was disappointed that there wasn’t a dedicated G-​Star shop. When one arrived, I was really surprised when I realised that the location of the G-​Star Flagship store was down at Clarence Dock, which is very scenic, but is really quiet for the location of a store of the G-​Star calibre. I expected it to be taking a spot on the Victoria Quarter or maybe Thornton Arcade or even Briggate, I expected it to be in the centre of Leeds is what I’m getting at.
This G-​Star is portioned up into men’s wear in the front, ladies in the back, as a store it’s light and airy, and there’s a showcase of the finest G-​Stars. In my opinion it’s the Jeans that sell this brand, and both departments have a wall section dedicated to the denims in each style and size that’s available. Staff could do with being a little bit more on the helpful side; there are a couple of places off the top of my head I can name who are bang on with regards to customer care. It’s sale season, and I’ve seen sale jeans for £40 and t-​shirts for £20, which considering the average retail price G-​Star is a considerable saving. There are plenty of bargains to be had if G-​Star is your thing, if it’s not your thing, then you’re probably not going to appreciate paying nearly £40 for a t-​shirt, or £110 for your jeans, but I’m just glad there’s a dedicated store in the city.
