Probably will.
And look at, I always say, look, if you like the look of Saint Laurent, look at menswear.
A lot of their blocks are menswear.
Like the winter coat I have the past four years is 35 quid from a, I'll never buy coats in a charity shop because I feel like you're blocking someone whose budget is for a coat of a charity shop.
This was like a beyond retro kind of vintage store or whatever.
Men's over, like they, in the 80s, they used to wear like their shoulders really like wide and
the same kind of vintage market that everybody else does but if you do I think it sounds like a really good strategy and approach and do look at menswear as well yeah because I menswear is a lot of men's there isn't as much demand for men's pre-loved and pre-owned clothing because their clothes are better made in the first place yeah number one but um a lot of their sizing where a lot of like pre-owned women's wear you'll be pushed to even find a 16 sometimes yeah
and even their eights are like a size four like it's old school sizing but with men's wear you can find like a friend of mine she got the most stunning jacket I'd say it's a women's 22 but it's like a man's extra large or something like that but it's like it's one of the old school sizes so do have a look if you are struggling size wise I'm not saying it's a cure for it I'm not saying it's like it's the solution but it is something that people can kind of miss t-shirts jeans knitwear
coats what else and shirting are all I that's usually what I buy in men's they're way better made and the sizing is just if I buy a 10 or a 12 which is what I'd normally buy in women's and vintage it's about that size yeah like I'm like it's it's not the real size you know yeah yeah I love it well Laura obviously you and I could talk all day but we I will let you go I will release you
