Burberry (london?)

yndmrk91 · Jul 8, 2011

Im interested in a Burberry suit. The tag is listed below, anyone know of the quality and value as opposed to other brands? I have search around the forum so I know it can be a hit or miss but I can't tell where is was made. At the risk of sound like the noob I am was it made in London? If so is that good? Thank you.

Are you wondering if that's a fake? I'm not sure, I'd need to see more pictures but something doesn't look quite right with that tag.

I own a Burberry London suit and like it. It's half canvassed and I got it on sale. I don't know if I'd pay full price.

It's a very slimming suit and the fabric feels good. They're made in Italy, not London. Older Burberry suits were made in the USA.

So, I'd give it a B+ in terms of fashion suits. Hope that helps!!

no, its not made in london. im fairly certain they are made in mexico or maybe canada. i wouldnt pay over 200ish for a burberry suit.

Until recently, Burberry London was made in the USA by Hickey Freeman. I'm not sure who makes them now. They were half-canvassed. I think Obama used to wear Burberrys, also made in the USA by HF. HF leased the rights to the name Burberrys and Burberry London from the British parent company but no longer does so.

How important is full vs half canvas to you for heavier sport jackets?

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
