I've never visited a leather shop before so was surprised when I walked in here…read more The first thing I noticed was just how much they have to sell. They offer everything from jackets, coats, helmets, bags and even suitcases. They have a good variety of stock for men, women and children, so you can fit the whole family out. At the moment they have a big sale on, and some of the jackets are only £19.99, which I thought was a bargain. A lot of the stock is warehouse stock, so they sell it cheaper than bigger main stream retailers. It's open direct to the public and they have reasonable prices. The entrance can be a little difficult to find, which is round the back.

I'm not exactly the type of guy to go out and purchase myself a leather jacket, but in the name of…read morebeing a Yelp Scout I'll give anything a go, so I decided to check out Premier Leathers. There's certainly a surprisingly big range of goods in this establishment and I have to say I wasn't aware that there were so many types of leather jackets to be found. I came across everything from bikers jackets to full length leather coats, which although are not to my taste certainly seem to sell well. They've also got sheepskins and furs, which once more are not my cup of tea but appear to go pretty well in this place. When sales are on jackets go from as little as twenty pounds which seems a good price in a world of extortionist high street stores who can charge over double the price for a t shirt. Needless to say if you are a fan of leather, look no further. Cow lovers should steer clear.

Revival is a great little vintage stall in Birmingham's alternative fashion store, The Oasis. They…read morehave a wide range of clothing for men and women spanning 50s - 80s eras with the odd exception. They stock Modj favourites such as Harringtons, button down shirts and desert boots but also have a great range of women's dresses for very reasonable prices; I picked up a lovely 50s print shift dress for a mere £10 the other day, which would have cost me double that anywhere else in Birmingham. I also found a Burberry trench for just £25 which might still be there if you're interested. There is a small changing area which is handy and the owner was pretty helpful when I enquired about a style of dress that I was after. I've visited the stall a few times now and he always tells me when his next delivery of dresses is due. All in all a great little stall where you might find a real gem if you look hard enough. If you have any enquiries you can contact Revival via wintcane@aol.com
