That makes me wonder... Is Lonsdale being heavily associated with extreme right-wing youth in the UK or elsewhere in Europe as well or is that phenomenon just limited to holland/belgium/germany? Because you hardly see anyone else wearing that anymore since they've adopted it as their fashion. I know that at least one dutch school (and maybe more) even decided to ban their students from wearing Lonsdale clothes in classes. Also the media used to speak frequently about "Lonsdale-youth", much to the dismay of the company.
I don't have a favourite fashion designer but I like to spend as little on clothes as possible if I can buy records/books/etc from the same money.
