    Us blokes can have a tricky ol' time when searching for clothes. It's easy to convince yourself that there's only boutique type shops designed for women. However, there is one that caters for men that stands out a mile in Manchester and that's Oi Polloi. It's a cosy little shop that has knowledgeable and friendly staff behind the counter and racks of great clothes and, in something that they excel in, shoes. Specialising in the things you can't really buy anywhere else, expect to see Burlington, Fjallraven, Gloverall, John Smedley and Nudie Jeans in the shop rather than the usual stock you find shunted the way of the disinterested male. The stock can be a little pricey, but you don't mind paying for things that feel like they've been ordered in for their quality and, to be quite frank, good looks. It's definitely got a vibe of the cool 30something, what with Clarke's Originals and duffels on the cards, but there's a wonderful array of stock for those who want to buy something cool and different. For those not in Manchester, you'll be glad to learn that you can buy online... although, your bank manager might get annoyed with you as you find yourself spending a month's wages on smart threads.

    This M&S Outlet store is certainly not the best or most exciting of stores from the Marks and…read moreSpencer brand, it is an Outlet store which mainly gets rid of old, out of fashion clothing which even the bigger stores wouldn't sell anymore, and often might have put on sale with no success in the past, still around sale prices. This is a slightly small branch in the Lowry Outlet in Manchester, they do seem to have made effort to improve it slightly such as with a nicer, slightly more modern and welcoming sign, and I presume this is a new addition for this store especially since it was last reviewed in what is nearly four full years ago. The staff didn't seem to stand out in anyway. I don't normally like Outlet stores and most of the fashion here was nothing great and more out of date rather than modern, which people would want to wear and the prices were just average sale prices and didn't stand out in particular, so I sadly feel this store does deserve a single one star rating.

    Peddlers of pricey clothing with a penchant for food porn…read more The rise of supermarket clothing and budget store Primark has seen the once untouchable snobbery and borefest that is the mighty M&S slip sharply from it's perch.

    And the prize for the most random shop in the whole of Afflecks Palace goes to…read more...... Seriously, the people who run this place must have used folded up pieces of paper, a hat and blindfold to help them come up with their business strategy as the links between the things sold here I'd describe as tenuous at best. Mooching around Rowfers I've come across jewellery, stripy tights, piercing, oil burners, candles, mirror balls, ornaments, bandannas, makeup, badges, studded belts, hair dye and incense. Luckily I'm thinking of throwing a stripy tight and bandannas party and don't have any electricity in my tree house. There's going to be a guess the smell competition where you get the chance to win a pair of really baggy trousers but the loser will have to wear a badge that says "I'm incensed."

    As a regular shopper in Afflecks and particularly Rowfers i can say that the previous review by…read moreJames B accurately describes the products available in Rowfers. Though why he has to sound like such a childish, sarcastic know-it-all is beyond my grasp. I'm old enough to remember Afflecks opening in the 80's and Rowfers has been there most of the time since then. So i'd say their "business strategy" was working just fine for them. As for links between products being tenuous at best? Poppycock! If James B actually took time to look around the shop properly he might recognise two product ranges; 1) Alternative clothes and accessories. 2) Fairtrade crafts and home-wares. Thus the products James described, Jewellery, Stripy tights, piercing, bandannas, make-up, badges, studded belts and hair dye all fit into range (1) and perfectly compliment the large range of alternative clothing they primarily sell which james conveniantly omited from his review and causes the review to be inaccurate. Oil Burners, candles, mirror balls, ornaments and incense sit nicely next to their african wall masks, crystal balls, crystals and windchimes for product range (2). I wonder if James would be equally confused in TK-Max as they also sell both clothes/accessories and home-wares? Although i respect James has the right to review shops and express his opinions i just found his review lacked accuracy and was overladen with un-needed sarcasm. On the plus side i think Rowfers sells some great stuff, often hard to find in the high streets and theyre cheaper than the competition (even their rivals in afflecks such as Sohos and Extreme Largeness). The staff are always friendly and chatty without the hard-sell and the music in the shop is always weird and wonderful. On the down-side i'd say the stock is poorly lit, the location can be hard to find for those who aren't regulars to afflecks and often the sizes are a little on the small size. this might be ok for the hordes of teenagers who regularly flock to afflecks but for those of us with a middle aged spread- we need a bit of give!
