Joules cotton sweat tops

I spend a fortune on this site. I love it!!

I have recently come across the discount site Otrium. It sells a lot of ‘designer’ stuff more suited to … well I’m not sure who, but in amongst this is often a lot of White Stuff clothing. Not current season of course but then I think White Stuff rarely goes out if fashion.

Here is a 20% off code for White Stuff.
I hope that it works!

I stopped buying Joules products when I realised they were made in China. I buy UK made products whenever I can, they may be more expensive but I like to support home businesses. A lot of products cannot be tumble dried (they go hard and shrink) which is a bit of a nuisance but I just wait for a dry, windy day!

I’ve got some lovely dresses from Weird Fish and White Stuff
Pockets too! ?

We are sympatico, Fanny. My wardrobe is full of them!

Where can you get a white t shirt, that doesn’t bobble and keeps it shape. I have to replace my M and S ones regularly.

Kettlewell Colours not only do white but different shades of white. Variety of necklines and sleeve lengths too!

White Stuff are good too Kitty

Thanks, casdon.

Off to look at Weird Fish, j52.

Uniqlo knitwear is outstanding.

I’ve found that their T-shirt dresses shrink terribly, which along with my colossal weight gain, is something that I really don’t need

Me too, Fanny! I have stopped buying them.

I buy joules online but find the cotton products are too heavy duty, not soft. I would rather have thinner cotton which would probably be cheaper to manufacture as well.

I’ve bought 100% cotton clothing from Weird Fish, it does keep its shape, is good quality and washes beautifully.

This sounds weird, but if you put 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in the fabric softener drawer before you wash, it takes the stiffness out of cotton fabrics when you do the wash - and it doesn’t make the clothes smell of vinegar. I don’t know why it works, but I read it somewhere and tried it, and it definitely does work - I use it on towels too.

I do wish Seasalt had more variety of colours though.

I rarely tumble dry anything but will try dryer sheets on my tops.

I like the White company too and, of course, Seasalt.

I have several Joules and Boden tops. They do feel a bit stiff after drying naturally, but I find once I am wearing them they soften.

I have not had this problem with Cotton Traders sweatshirts but I don’t tumble dry them until they are old and relegated to gardening clothes! I always worry about them shrinking in the dryer.

That's why I don't use it, scribbles but i'd also also like to wear the tops. Do the sheets work?

They've worked for me in about 90% of cases, Kitty. The 10% failures are all garments I've had for several years (I get fond of my clothes) and which had already become seriously hard before I tried the dryer sheets. Several washes later, they have softened up a little but nothing like the friendly, snuggly things they once were.

Have to agree with the deterioration of quality and sizing with Land's End. Have returned last two orders. Never done so before. Sadly, won''t be using them again.

Thanks, GrannyGravy

Callistemon21 have a look at Boden or The White Company.

I've found Joules, Land's End, Woolovers are all poor quality now since production moved to China.

Woolovers sweaters in particular are dreadful and the firm is unhelpful, Land's End knitted cotton jumpers are ok but some are so heavy they're unwearable.
The poor quality is not reflected in the price either.

It's all very disappointing.

I don't know where to buy sweaters any more.
