If you are paying nearly 15 quid to some 'entrepreneur ' that
Has hired a venue and got some tackle sellers in a hall. Paying for the privilege
Of spending your money with the poor companies that he's charged to exhibit there.

Whilst all the while the.products are.all.over the Internet, video reviews
Discounts etc.

If that is of interest to someone then good.luck to them, but its a bit rich taking the piss out of someone's coat.

Camouflage is one of menswear's greatest ironies. For a print that was designed to let members of the military go incognito, it's pretty damn conspicuous everywhere else. It's this brick-through-a-window level of obviousness which has made camouflage an unappealing sartorial prospect for many men
THE CAMO JACKET
It's indisputable that the camo field jacket is one of the safest ways to wear the military's so called ‘invisible' print. Evidence of this is offered by the fact that it's been worn by both menswear icons and street subcultures alike – the ultimate crowd pleaser.

“There are a range of interesting camouflage bomber jackets out there which can easily be dressed down and grounded by wearing tones such as black or grey to complete the rest of your look,” says menswear stylist Nas Abraham who has worked with the likes of Mr Porter, Barbour and Gap. “If you're feeling bold and want to stand out rather than blend in, avoid the bomber and field jacket altogether and instead try a camouflage anorak or longer line outerwear.”

The beauty of camouflage jackets is that they're foolproof. Anything that could be considered a wardrobe staple will have no trouble getting along with your military-inspired outer layer. A camo parka jacket, for example, will work wonders thrown over a navy suit, while at the weekend, a camo bomber can easily be recruited alongside a T-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.

It's not just Carp shows, I've never understood why people buy fishing branded clothes at all

Bet you wouldn't get much change out of a grand for a tiny stand.

Normally x per sqm.

We do industry events, the stand on its own is £1 million even before paying for the floor space. Shows are good earners for those who put them on and very difficult for those showing to quantify the true value.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
