Smart Casual Menswear with a Touch of Flair
How a bad day's shopping became a great shopping experience...
Shopping for men's clothing has always been a trial. Whether you're buying for yourself, or you're their wife or partner trying to get him to dress better, finding decent clothes for a man is anything but enjoyable. In truth, it's a chore, and so for most of us we just don't bother.
That was certainly me a couple of years ago. I was still just wearing the same old stuff I'd had for years, because quite frankly I didn't know what else to wear and where to get it.
I spent hours, sometimes days, traipsing round the shopping malls near where I lived, only to head home with a half-hearted bag of things I knew I was going to return anyway. Online wasn't much better. Nothing was quite right, or fitted properly, or was reasonably priced or the quality I desired. I was sick of getting something I thought was great, only for my wife to shake her head when I did the obligatory "fashion show" when I got home. It's not like I'm hard to please, I just wanted fashion that was designed for me. Everything was made for fashionista 20-somethings, and I was well passed pulling off skinny jeans and designer T's! And anything that was more my territory was bland or baggy. And I am neither.
So I decided to create it myself. I'd build a store that had all the things I wanted to wear. I searched out quality items that were decently priced, and then I tested them myself so anyone who bought that item would know it was just right. I didn't want anyone to have to go through the pain I'd had just to get a new pair of jeans or a jumper. They're all items I really enjoy wearing, and judging from the feedback I get, our customers do too.
I'm very strict about what is allowed on our shelves. If it doesn't make us go wow, or we are a little unsure, we don't stock it. We get offered some amazing deals which would probably make a lot of money, but if it's not up to the high standards we set, we won't sell it. And if a product turns out not to be what we expected, we remove it from our range straight away, even if it costs us.
We don't go for big labels or snobbish haute couture. What we do is quality you can rely on, prices you'll appreciate, and good old fashioned service so you know you've come to the right place.
This is our manifesto. It's what we hold ourselves to, and what you'll hold us to account for when you shop with us. It's been quite a journey so far, and it's great to have you join us to continue it.

The tracking info says that my order has been returned to sender, why?
If Royal Mail have returned the item to us this will be most likely because the address is not able to be located (whether a human error their side or an incorrect address put on the order). Not to worry though, we will resend the item after confirming delivery address again as soon as the item is returned to us. If at the time it is returned to us, you want a refund we can of course, process that too.

Can I supply Threadpepper with our products?
THREADPEPPER is a brand founded on Quality and backed by Service. The products we sell must do the same. We're always on the lookout for smart casual menswear to add to our range that can meet our Quality, Price and Service standards, so if that's you, please read on!
So what do we look for?
1) Clothing (and to a limited extent accessories) that fit in the scope of "Smart Casual".
2) High quality at a great price. Our customers are used to and expect only very good quality items, at a reasonable price point.
3) Continuing service from our suppliers, so we can work with you to develop the sales on THREADPEPPER.
4) Ideally you'll have high quality product photography we can use so we can get as many products up straight away as possible. Videos are an added bonus!
5) Stock service so we can order as we go, and preferably no minimum orders so we can get going quickly with a good selection of products.
6) Regularly updated stock availability so we're not disappointing customers.
If you can offer these or at least most of these, then great, we'd love to hear from you!
Once we've had a chat about your products and what you offer, we'd start the quality confirmation process. It's very simple but hugely important:
Stage 1: Initial Quality Check
We'd need samples of your products so we can review them in-house to make sure they meet our quality, style, price and wow factor standards. These samples would be returned to you.
Stage 2: Customer Quality Check
If the products make it through, we will order a handful of items that we can distribute to our Customer Product Testers for testing. These are actual customers of ours who try on and review new products to make sure they meet all the correct standards. They will also rate the proposed retail price of the product.
