Chester Barrie RTW

[GMMcL]

I'm new to this forum, and new to buying UK suits (have lots of suits, just mostly US and Italian brands). I'm thinking of fleabaying a Chester by Chester Barrie (yes, RTW, made in China). I, of course, understand it won't match quality with the best MTM or bespokes. But I assume it's decent quality as RTW goes, yes? If I can get the suit for under $200, would it be a decent value?

Ultimately, my goal is to upsize and diversify my current quiver, which is almost exclusively Abboud (worked for the company, got phenomenal discounts).

Any input greatly appreciated.

If I remember, Chester by Chester Barrie is a diffusion line which is not the same quality RTW as Chester Barrie. I would tell you to hold on to your money, and if you want Chester Barrie, go with real Chester Barrie. More info can be found by doing a search on the forum.
