Shutt price increases?

lastant

Ordered myself one of their Sportive LE shirts last week - haven't ordered from them before so thought I'd see what the fit was like before deciding whether to order any more.

Arrived today, fits perfectly and feels real quality. Took a look at their site and they're now £75.00 having been £65.00 literally a week ago! Shame really, would like to order another but not sure I can justify a 15% increase.

Ring them, give your order number, and make them an offer.....

You'll have more chance of sucess than griping in here. Business is business.

yep - the #3 went up £10 as well

shame, but the new gilet does look quite tempting and is only £39...

Anyone bought the bibshorts?
Got any comments on the fit and sizing of these?

Hi Everyone -

Just to let you all know that we only put the prices on 3 lines back up to their pre-sale/2009 prices. In the same time we have had our costs increase 25% or more for merino... which we have resisted passing on to our customers... The LE is still less than its pre sales price of £79.. And being a limited edition we haven't a huge number left... We aren't trying to cash in..

As Scrumple says, talk to us and make us an offer... We are cyclists first who make jerseys not some faceless corporate!

If you are subscribed to our newsletter then you will know that there is a promo running for purchases of 2 or more jerseys. I do not want to say what it is for fear of being accused of pushing sales. Feel free to email me for more details.

Hi Damon - The No3 only went up to £65 and remember my offer from last week still stands, you didn't mention that ;-)

Sturmey - the shorts are sized accurately for uk guys...

Best regards, Pete

Just ordered it will let you know what it comes up like

Tony - After the shorts the gilet is proving a most popular garment. We very pleased with it.

Let us have your feedback as we are working on a rain jacket too for spring in the same fabric and our customers are key to our product development...

Thanks, Pete

So you'd XL for a 5.'10

Cheers

miggers

I'd say they'd be fine, I vary between 36-38 and the XLs have been fine for me at both ends, if you forgive the expressio

Dropped the price a few days ago and no one noticed

I'll be honest, I haven't looked back at the page having since been in touch...

...which brings me nicely to an opportunity to thank the people at Shutt - I got an e-mail from them very quickly after initially posting and I have to admit their customer service is superb, really shows that you're talking to a cyclist / person rather than a bored sales rep.!

Second Sportive LE on it's way and I've also gone for one of the Gilets too to settle myself into the spring routine nicely.

Just taken you up on the offer and ordered one but noticed I got first line of my address wrong (old house - busy morning!). Have emailed sales@shutt.cc about it.

Can't wait to try the new jersey out - will there be some co-ordinating arm warmers available soon?

I saw pics of arm warmers on their Facebook page - looked black from what I could see. The couple of pics of people wearing their new spring range showed some white arm warmers but no idea if that was Shutt kit or people's own?

Looking forward to next week and the release of the new range. Credit card will be taking a battering me thinks :shock:

miggers

Both black and white arms coming...Knees and legs will just be black. We weren't too strict on what the guys and girls wore with the exception of jerseys. Our bibs were well hidden due to the arctic conditions, no one braved bare legs.

I have 350 pics coming from the photography to process for the new site..

James - jersey packed and will go today to the right address too

I did like the look of the black jersey with Shutt colour-band across the front. Looking forward to seeing what other styles will be available

I have just ordered a Gilet and a pair of Bib shorts. I will report back but from reading on here lately I am hopefull they will be really good.

They will be my 1st peices of higher standard kit (most of my stuff is DHB which I really can't fault).

miggers

Ben - I just saw the order.. You must order a jersey... We make them in Cleckheaton! You'll be supporting the local economy ;-)
