An X

An-​x is a dedicated men’s wear shop in Bradford centre. Supporting a healthy range of jeans in various brands, the small shop looks like it doesn’t hold much, but looks are certainly deceiving. An-​X tends to put one size or style out, and holds the rest of the sizes in a separate store room, so if chance happens that you’re in An-​X and you don’t see a size you like in your jacket, jeans or t-​shirt of choice, then just holler at one of the sales bods and they’ll check if they’ve got your size in stock. Essentially An-​X is a designer clothing store focusing on menswear, whilst also selling footwear for kids, men and women. There’s a plethora of brands available, and stock regularly rotates, so there’s often new things cropping up all the time. Some of the brands will be familiar to most, such as Nicholas Deakin, Penguin, Firetrap, Carhartt and Converse, but there are also some other brands that I’m not mega familiar with, but when I’ve had a poke and a scan they’re really nice in quality and style. I prefer men’s hoodies and have a penchant for men’s slogan and character t shirts, so I’m often bobbing in An-​X for myself or for boy gifts. I’m quite taken with the Humor range in stock at the moment, and for a while I was lusting after some of the slightly out there Gumball 3000 merchandise they had. Sale season is always the best time to shop at An-​X in my opinion, as they slash the prices so low you’d think they were joking. A friend of mine scored a bounty of Junk Food and Chunk t-​shirts not so long ago, which on average sell for about £30, and he walked away with his at an average price of a tenner.
