Having bought e book tokens for my friends' three children for Christmas, what can I say. I won't bother again. My friend is computer literate and he had big problems. The gift cards were either not recognised or the website kept crashing/ timing out. There has been no response to customer service email enquiry. After about four weeks of trying, on and off, by phone, he finally managed to get through to customer services who talked him through the process. Then they took £4.50 in admin charges from the value of the e cards. Also there were a limited amount of books available. A disappointing service from a large company. Will never use again. Waiting to see how the delivery turns out. At least i can claim the money back through my credit card if they don't turn up after three weeks. Will update.

I found Phix Clothing by accident. As a bit of a clothes addict i was impressed. I have bought from other more well known sites and do occasionally thin my wardrobe out a bit. Not with Phix. It's the sort of stuff you will always want to keep, even if it's only one or two items, as those special pieces in your wardrobe.

I was a Northern Soul boy, Wigan Casino in '78 when i left school. Smart, image conscious and individual. For me Phix ticks all the boxes. Retro with a modern twist, limited runs. I have two box jackets and a longer coat. All exceptionally well made, great quality and detailing. The difficulty for me is prioritising what to buy. So much great stuff. I've never really had to do that before. Not for those who don't like being noticed.

The only down side is the cut. It means you can't be carrying too much extra weight, especially around the middle. I'm about five eight tall, 44 chest and 35 waist. A little shorter in the arms than average and quite broad across the shoulders due to a lot of lane swimming. An XL fits perfect. Jacket, that is. I will be buying shirts soon though.
I had no problems with the customer service. Quick and efficient.

At nearly fifty seven I'm getting excited again about getting dressed up to go out dancing.
