Menwear Shopping Chain - Now Defunct Of 80S/90S

[pacuk01]

Can anyone remember the menswear chain found on High Streets in 80s/90s Usually had smallish shops. Not sure if they went bust or not. I know there was one in Lymington which is now a Millets and another in Boscombe. I am sure there were more shops

Greenwoods closed many of their High Street shops around that time but they're still around in some towns, as well as online:

Could that be the retailer you're thinking of?

Although my OH lived in Boscombe in the 90s and when I asked him he came straight back with Fosters

Ooh, look ... from Chris's link ...

" Mr Dunn was a modern thinker. He was the first man in Britain to own a combine harvester. Before he died in 1939 he also opened a vegetarian hotel //

I bet they didn't allow Carrots & Parsnips in the same bed.

I think Fosters where renamed D2 in the 90's.

Greenwoods existed in my home town of Selby until a couple of months ago. Shirts starting at £18! I'm surprised they lasted that long.
