Was looking at my Trickers collection yesterday and the thought came to me that Trickers quality and quality control is so much better than it was fifteen years ago. It's noticeable in the quality of their leathers and more uniform sizing. A short while ago one or two members were bemoaning the recent price rises, and they have been painful, but I do think we are now getting a better product, that its helped Trickers to take a step up in quality - though hard to say exactly from which year. Just my two penn'orth.
