The end of surfer/skater brands in Waterford

Lady Thor

Now Pure and Global clothes stores have closed down in Waterford city, where is anyone meant to get skater/surfer brand clothes? Apart from routing through the packed rails of TK Maxx for a top

It's a crying shame really they are gone, some fab items of clothing have been picked up over the years in each shop by me.

Got my first Paul Frank tee shirt in pure when it was in it's old premises!

Is there not some skate shops out in Tramore?

There is a weight lifting supplement shop around the corner from USA bargain stores that has some surfer clothes, salt rock hoodies and stuff.

Instead of creating another thread, anyone notice a major lack if men's flared jeans over the last few years in various shops in Waterford???

Are the shops down the end of Tramore still open? Last time I was out there was a few years back but they had some nice stuff. A lot of the good brands like Ripcurl, Quicksilver etc

What the hell happened to Road cords/jeans? Now its all those ridiculous skinny/straight leg jeans. I remember they were in every shop but now they are gone. I had about 4 pairs them and I am only down to one with the arse hanging out of it haha. I love those pants.

Also I had a dig around in TK Maxx and found some decent stuff. But to be honest I always thought Pure was a bit pricey though. I think people can get a decent surf/skate look from pennys now for a fraction of the price.

Ah road jeans, used to love them, i absolutely hate straight leg jeans, make my stomach turn.

Tk maxx is okay for tee shirts and hoodies and stuff, but their selection of jeans is terrible.

Both surf shops in Tramore have a good selection of surfer related clothes.

I see that the sports shop in Peter st. opposite Dunnes stores now does Vans (the non sweat shop produced skate shoes)

Yeah jack and jones are okay, but they only really get a 'new' pair of flares every 5-6 months.

I end up with the same pair in 4 different washes! Haha

The tramore surf shop across from the beach is very expensive
