BTW, if anyone needs an ultralite handbag, I just got an email flyer from TKM saying that they have a sale of up to 80% off all handbags... Shame they don't have any preference settings for 'outdoor gear' (or any other categories; I'm sure there are handbag bargain hunters out there; too...) when you sign up for emails...

I just made my previous post as a further example of the "dodgy" RRP's on some TK Maxx garments. I would think that if they obtain the stock direct from the Manufacturer or the like then they have a fair chance of getting the RRP right. If they say buy things at Auction or liquidated stock then that is when mistakes are made. In any event I agree that you take any RRP shown on a TK Maxx price tag with a pinch of salt. However getting the RRP wrong as in the example I gave can mean the the TK Maxx "sale" price is "inflated" as the discount is made on the higher (incorrect) price.

Yeah, sorry Ashley! My bad.... Mike

> I just made my previous post as a further example of the "dodgy" RRP's on some TK Maxx garments. Yes; you have to know you stuff sometimes. The current crop of Marmot garments is a good example; PreCip jackets being marked 'rrp £300'. NFW... Anyway, here are my latest spots. Lots of Westbeach, Tomter, Hilfiger, Tenson,Craft, Shredz, Billabong W's ski jackets, £35 to £80 Marmot Odin down parka rd XS S £100 rrp £230
an enormous waterproof down jacket; Antarctic Survey sort of thing... Adidas W Summit GWS jkt £40
rollaway hood, hardface sleeves
Royal Robbins W Windjammer jkt £17

BH Riot II jkt £70
BH New Strike jkt £100

ps. I saw the 'Chamonix' skiwear mentioned by John Kilgour, but wasn't overly impressed. The prices seemed compatible with the low quality; the quoted rrp: never.
