Burtons, including on line sales have a special offer buy a suit and get a free shirt tie and a pair of shoes for as little as £99.00.
I told my husband but had the typical male reply..."I don't need a new suit"!!
If you buy through Kidstart they will put money into your child's  and or grandchilds account https://www.kidstart.co.uk   ;)

Cannnot comment on the Burtons suits, have not seen them, but I have seen the ones in Asda and as the saying goes... You get what you pay for.

I never really wear a suit Bruce, I don't even go to shops as a rule, I was just flabbergasted at the cost of things now (cheap), but I know what Jaqui is saying, and upon reflection where are these things being made at those prices ??, at what cost ??, at those prices, are Asda unscrupulous enough to source from "sweatshops" or is it a case of bulk buying ??

I bought a burtons suit/shirt and shoes last time they did the deal. Looks better quality and fits better than suits I have had for 2 to 3 times the price. OK, they are not really hard wearing but as an occasional or spare suit I would recommend them. The added bonus was that the trousers came larger than normal on the waist so I exchanged them for a pair 2 sizes smaller - no diet needed that week!
