Quick question from a first time suit buyer.

Hi there,

I was looking at these two suits, the first is a 50/50 wool polyester mix at £180 and the second is 100% wool and costs £150. Can someone explain to a complete novice, why the 100% wool is cheaper than the 50/50 mix? I know any mention of polyester is a big no no here so I'm curious.

I appreciate there are better suits out there but I will only wear this a few times a year so I don't want to spend a fortune.



...apologies, my welcome message came through as I was typing and only just realised that this should be in the Ask A Question thread.

Marketing.

it's that simple?

Yes. Marketing hype - the polyester garment should be flung on the nearest fire now.

haha, thanks for the pointers in the right direction.

If choosing between those two, get the all wool one.
