Clothing - Suits


Need to buy some clothing for you, Say for instance suits, they are expensive. It would be better to choose some specialist seller rather than going for some chain of high street shops like Debenhams, Peacocks, Primark, Doherty perkins etc. If you are not in hurry, buying suits from specialists that too from online shopping will save your money.

You might get surprised looking at the quality; it will be par with other expensive ones at cheaper cost. I am sharing my experience of buying suit for my friend. We went to high street shops Debenhams, Doherty perkins, Bhs etc in Oxford street, London. Prices were ranging from £125 to even more than £ 500. We went to Primark we found some suit for £50 but quality was compromise for the lesser price.

We did a search in Google for “cheap men suits”. We found a retailer called “Moss Bros Group Plc” attracted by the caption “The UKs No.1 Branded Suit Specialist - Suits - Dresswear - Shirts – Knitwear”. Website address for them is http://www.moss.co.uk/ . We were browsing varieties of suits and started comparing prices. We found a suit for which the original price was £149 and the discounted price was £49. WOW…. Jaw dropping discount isn’t it. Looking at the picture we concluded that it is not bad really.

Generally buyer would like to tryout the size and would like to have a feel of touching and seeing the suit. But how a person can buy a suit online without these things? hmmm!!!!!!!

So we started looking for nearest stores in the city for this retailer. We found a nearest store in Ilford, London. We went there and found the suit which we saw online, my friend went to trial room to pick the size of best fit. We decided to purchase and looked at the price tag, SHOCKING!!!!!. Price of the suit was nearly £100. We took it to cash counter and asked the store keeper why the price is different from online price. He told that he is not sure if the price of this suit is £49 in Online shopping, but always the online price will be lesser than store price. But we were sure that it is the same suit.

We came out of the shop, but decided to buy that particular suit in online shopping as we know the size of best fit. We ordered online with other accessories like belt, socks etc to make the total order cost of £75 and above to get free door delivery. We ordered online by Monday night and surprisingly it was delivered on Wednesday though it was instructed that it would take up to 10 working days for delivery. The suit was amazing, fine tailored and good quality. I’m sure you can’t get a suit for £77 with additional accessories and free door delivery.

Please do research before buying anything and buy it online if the price of online shopping is a good deal. Shop what ever you want but do it in smarter way…
