Hey guys.

I am looking to buy a suit this week. My budget is £450 (would like it for half that or less) but I have no clue as to which brand I should go for. I am based in the UK. Any help is much appreciated :)

Hey guys.

Just wanted some advice as to which brands are best for quality of fabric and longevity. Will a shirt that cost £85 last me longer than a £35 one? I was told that Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger are very high quality. New here and would appreciate your knowledge on this subject.

Thanks :)
Because shirts are unlikely to fall apart, even at fairly low prices, durability is probabably not the best metric for determining the quality of a shirt. I would look at things like the roll of the collar, which are the little things that distinguish a serviciable shirt from a good one.
