I know Howies stuff is over-priced but some stuff in sale is 1/2 price and if you add [b]BLV216[/b] then you get an extra 30% off 🙂

Got 2 T's and a pair of shorts in postage for £60 - normally £150 inc delv 😯

Edit : www.howies.co.uk

I have far far too much of their kit already...

Me and my wife must spend about £1000 a year on their kit - love it. Nice looking, well made, no huge logos (on most stuff).

The waterproof "towpath" trousers are particularly good as is their Merino range.

Very useful thanks, just got most of the wife's birthday pressies from there - plus a few bits for myself of course.

It was due to expire at noon today, which is probably why it's showing as invalid.

I've just had a look and Howies' stuff now looks about as exciting as Gap, for about 3 times the price.

don't get me wrong, Gap is ok for some things, but I see no reason to buy the current clothing from Howies.

Even the T shirts have lost their wit.

'Invalid gift certificate'

It's the other box at check out - voucher code I think?

Worked for me anyway, and that was after 12.

Does Howies sizing still come up quite, erm, snug? I usually wear an M shirt but I seem to remember a Howies one being a bit too figure hugging.

Cool - saved myself a packet - Code needs to be entered after teh delivery address section 🙂

Yeh I think howies are not 'over sized' so a medium is def a normal/small medium not a generous medium. I have a 31" waste and 38" chest and am 6ft and go for a medium 🙂

you'll get an email/phone call off them in a few hours/days saying discount cannot be used on sale items and asking if you want a refund or to pay the difference. guaranteed.

We'll see pjt201 - your prob right - was going to buy them anyway so no loss to me 🙂

Offer ends at 12 noon on the 5th July. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Is a sale an offer? I would have though you cannot use the code in conjunction with another code?

BTW the code still works so maybe there is somming wrong? We shall see if we all get rejected 😉

BTW don't kill the messenger 🙂

It used to change every year, occassionally halfway through a product year too. Every single T shirt I have in 'L' is a different shape to the last.

No good stuff in the sale again 🙁

Crotch has just gone out of my second pair on howie's jeans with only 2 years wear. Quality has taken a nosedive. My first pair that I wore everyday (eww!) to 6th form and rode bikes on all the time (now hardly ever) lasted 8 years 😯

Obviously you can't make as much money like that. GD sellouts 😡

Howies?

Starting to get massively annoyed with them. I ordered some stuff from them 1 month ago, and the courier they've used delivered to the wrong adress. And it's me having to do all the chasing depsite me paying £18 for delivery.

They used to be good, but I'm starting to question why I buy things from them, and whether I will use them again. Happy people on phones are one thing, but sadly they don't knock out the product.

True, but the women's stuff is usually better looking and seems higher quality than gap or H&M.

I'll have to see about the mens stuff.

Just thought you'd like to know your order is heading out of Cardigan Bay as we speak. And it's heading your way. With luck and a good tailwind, it should be with you in the next day or so.

Looks like the orders are going out so the discount code looks good so far 🙂

The code I had said it runs out 12noon today - cannot be used with other offers (I thought other codes etc) but I tried it and thought it would work or not - it did so posted it here? Hmm maybe a mistake and some slipped though?

perhaps pjt201 was right after all - oh well I guess nothing lost - can refund worst case no?

I'm 5'8, 30" waist, 42" chest - medium Ts fit me perfectly as do loose fit 30" regular jeans. But the jumpers are large - I take a small. Got the Merino second skin and it's very nice. Shirts also medium - they are a lovely fit. Fitted but not chavvy tight.
