I bought a suit recently and have been trying to figure out who made it. It has a tag that says "woolmark". Apparently, thats just where the wool is from. And their website (woolmark.com) claims to be Australian but they have a lot of Asian stuff there.
Theres another tag that says "Empire Mills". I found a few cheap Ebay suit (£50) with that name. No website. After much searching, I figured out that its another name for Alfred Brown. Apparently, this is a company in England that's been around for some time. But you go to their website (alfredbrown.co.uk) and its just a single page. Again, you find a few ebay suits with that name and theyre all quite cheap.
I paid £250 for this suit. I bought it on Friday and when I came to pick it up today (they were doing some alterations) the salesman was very cold to me and obviously wanted me to leave. I guess he thought that I might have done some research over the weekend and would realise that I overpaid.
I bought the suit at a small shop in central London. They apparently have a few other stores as well. It seems reputable with a few people on the internet recommending that you go there (for rentals, anyway) but their website is very sparce.
The suit seems ok and fits well but I think I grossly overpaid. Its the second suit that Ive bought and I dont really know how to buy suits (what to look for, etc). Do I seem correct in thinking that I overpaid?
