So today I visited London's new Westfield shopping center. There were quite a few suit stores, I looked around for something that looked good, and I found a nice charcoal suit for £400 (and 20% off, first week opening discount).
It didn't have working sleeve buttons, or any working pockets, which dismayed me a bit - though, I don't know anything about suits, so perhaps they're generally supposed to be like this?
Well, beside from that, the salesman seemed to be spending more time trying to sell me 3 suits for the price of 2, than whether the suit was right for me - whether it fit how it was supposed to, etc.
I tried it on, it looked good - but I didn't want to mess up my first suit buying experience, and buy something inferior, or that didn't fit exactly, properly, right. My measurements weren't taken, the salesman didn't ask if it felt right in certain areas (the trousers were actually too tight) - I was just not given the confidence that this was the right suit.
I didn't buy it.
