I feel like Sargent is in an unfortunate position of being just a bit below Crockett and Jones in both quality and price, without much else to offer. People tend to either just pony up the extra 50 quid and get Crockett and Jones or go much cheaper like Barker or Loake.
Other British makes have some sort of market segment ownership, for example Trickers does the country blucher thing, EG does the top-line/top-dollar thing. Brands like Grenson and Loake make sure they have offerings at every price point to cover their bases.
There was that old thread which mentioned AS was going to try their hand at an absolutely top-drawer quality line. I would love to see the results from that.
