Small review of a web shop I tried

[Gilbertgen]

A simple and honest answer like 鈥渨e do not have that option鈥?is better than marketing fluff. Some care only about style, others focus on comfort and durability. I try to balance my budget between basic everyday items and a few special pieces. At least here we can see more honest opinions and not only polished marketing content.

If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.
You can find one of the pages here:

If they ignore basic questions or reply with copy pasted text, I become suspicious. If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually has some kind of catch. For coats and blazers I usually go one size up if I want to layer sweaters under them. At least here we can see more honest opinions and not only polished marketing content. Sometimes one good quality item is better than five very cheap ones. If the first order goes well, I slowly try more products from the same place. For daily use items I try to balance price, build quality and real user feedback. Very thin fabric may be fine for summer but often looks cheap and becomes see through.

Maybe this is useful for someone.
