Alright, let me tell you about this little discovery I made recently. I was kicking around London, not really looking for anything in particular, just wandering the streets like I sometimes do.
Then I came across this name, John Philips London. Wasn’t a big flashy sign or anything, more like tucked away. Curiosity got the better of me, you know how it is. So, I decided to see what it was all about. Found some shirts with this label.
My First Look
I picked one up. Just a simple button-down shirt. Nothing fancy, mind you. Checked the fabric first – felt pretty decent, not amazing, but solid. Then I looked at the stitching, the buttons, the usual stuff I check. Seemed alright, put together okay.
The price wasn’t bad either. You see some crazy prices in London for clothes, but this was reasonable. So, I thought, why not? Let’s give it a try. I bought one.
Wearing and Washing It
Took it home, washed it first like I always do. It came out fine, no shrinking or weirdness. Then I started wearing it. Just for casual stuff, going out for a coffee, meeting up with friends. It was comfortable, fit well enough. Looked smart in a simple way.
- Felt okay to wear all day.
- Didn’t fall apart after a couple of washes.
- The color held up pretty well.
Final Thoughts
So, what’s the verdict on John Philips London? Well, based on this one shirt, it’s decent stuff for the price. It’s not high fashion, it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s reliable. It’s like finding a good, solid tool that just does its job without any fuss.
I just wanted to share this because sometimes you find these smaller names and they turn out to be alright. It’s not always about the big brands. This was just my experience finding and trying out this particular label during my time in London. Simple, straightforward clothing that worked for me.
