Surf/Snow style is not cheap and that's the way it has always been. So, if you're looking for a…read morebargain, then you're not going to find it in here (even in the sales). I have no worries about paying a little extra for kit if it's something I want. The style is a mix of your regular extreme sport look, with some more grown-up and laid back threds thrown in. Sometimes it's a little too Boden looking for my liking (boys and gilrs) but pick the right kit and it mixes well on the beach or bar. The staff indoors are very fiendly and ever-helpful. If it's not in stock they can get it for you (have a look online or in the catalogue). I don't think they are paid to be extra happy, but rather the store is a nice little place and given the chance they're more than happy to help. Frankly, we spend far too much time in there :)

Originally I quite enjoyed visiting the ramshackle but very well-stocked fabrics, haberdashery,…read moreembroidery and crafts side of Masons in Bath Street. Although somewhat time-consuming to work through on your own to find what you need - it has an old shop appeal to it that some can find charming, the items that I've wanted for general sewing, embroidery and craft projects have usually been handily in stock. However, I've always found the staff to be very intimidating to speak to; I've been glared at for asking a polite question or advice, I've been ignored queueing at the counter in a practically empty shop when staff have been chatting to each other and, generally, made to feel I was unwelcome or an annoyance to be put up with. I thought the adjoining crafts and embroidery shop had more approachable people, but even that has changed in recent months to being greeted with unsmiling demeanours and barely a word spoken. What I decided was my final visit to this shop was having one of the trainees/temporary staff that regularly change on the haberdashery and fabrics section serve me with all the bad attitude that a bored, inexperienced and unhappy teenager can muster. Much eye rolling and huffiness ensued as an older staff member deliberately walked off and left the trainee alone to serve. For some minor purchases this was an unnecessary, and really off-putting, performance. I like to buy locally and support businesses, even at higher prices than you can find elsewhere, but not when I'm repeatedly treated to terrible customer service. Especially when it is noticeable that some customers immediately receive much more help and attention. If you don't mind the varying levels of service and attitude, then Masons is worth visiting for its wide range of stock. If you prefer to be treated with at least minimal courtesy and helpfulness as standard, best look elsewhere.

This review is for the Masons location at 20 Bath Street, OX14 3QH. This location offers an…read moreoverwhelming selection of fabric. There is also a location next door, at 22 Bath Street, that seems to have more embroidery and decoration type stuff. First, I think its important to note that I don't know anything about fabric, fabric shops, or anything else fabric related. At all. While those might seem to be significant hurdles when it comes to buying fabric, I was able to pull it off thanks to the helpful staff at Masons. The store is sort of like a big closet stuffed full of fabric. There were all sorts of weights and patterns, but after a while I picked out a couple that seemed like they would work. I asked one of the clerks whether she thought the patterns matched and she said that putting them together looked like an ugly motoring accident. Armed with this colorful advice, I found some less offensive patterns and was on my way. Even for a novice, navigating the store was fairly easy and I would go back if I ever had a need for more fabric.

But they're easy to access and most of all, good value: I picked up some corduroy here for an excellent £3.75 a metre.
