Vulpine Sample Sale
Your roving reporter no longer on the scene brings you not-quite live news from what is quite literally the sample sale event of the week...
Very glad I went. Some friendly early-morning chat in the crisp January air was followed by an Aladdin's cave of tidily arranged, extremely nice gear opened on time by the affable host. I was prepared for a combination of City MAMILs and ironically-bearded Hackney fakengers wrestling over crumpled merino t-shirts but it was very civilised, barely a murmur disrupted the happy rustling sound of people sorting through coveted clothing and aspired-to attire. Even the queue to pay was civilised; and moving reasonably quickly without compromising the friendliness of the ladies on the tills.
Worth getting down there. Well done Vulpine folks.
(Seriously though: guys clearly wearing their best Vulpine stuff to the Vulpine sample sale - what's that about? Are you expecting a gold star from the man himself?)

An "Original Rain Jacket" for £60 (list price £190) made the trip from Cambridge very much worth it. Everyone there on Saturday morning was cheery and friendly- outdone only by the Vulpine staff.
to put it into context, i picked up a Harrington jacket, a soft shell gilet, 2 long sleeve merino jerseys, two t merino t shirts and a short sleeved jersey for a touch over the original retail price of a harrington jacket
What's the pricing been like?
Hilariously giveaway.
I hope they have stuff for Tomorrow, looking for a soft-shell, LS jersey and a SS jersey
Oops.
On the upside, I managed to resist buying a long sleeved softshell.
Good sale, the t-shirts went in a hurry though, too quick for me!
I, at least, did wear my Vulpine softshell to the sale... because I've used it every day since I got it in the Xmas Sale!
I'm going to drop in again on the way home to see what's left.
To go all tautalogical, the lunchtime rush was a rush at lunchtime. Impressive how many people can fit in a singlefile queue in such a small shop!
I had a little flutter myself and would say it was "fairly" civilised with a few sharpening their elbows when the doors opened....
Anyway, definitely priced to go but I doubt there will be much left by the end of today judging by the first 20 minutes !
