Great suit - want a better one?

I went to David Jones on Wednesday afternoon, anxious to compare the quality of shirts and suits available at our premium department store. I was staggered... I couldn't believe how much better my company's garments are!

Their 'best' suit was a $1195 Hugo Boss. It was a Super 100 wool, had pickstitching and was neatly finished. But it was obscenely mediocre. I've grown accustomed to wearing fine fabrics, bespoke tailored to my precise measurements, but I missed just how much better my company's garments are. Their best, a grade of 100s, is at the bottom end of our range - you can have a suit that I think is as good or better than anything in the Department stores for $600 or even less.

And despite being from a German company, they were made in Turkey - we're a 100% Australian owned company... go over and have a look if you haven't already!

Very interesting. Perhaps it is because your company is more specialised. Often when you do not go to the commercial chains, you do find better quality. It is unfortuate that a lot of our energy and production goes overseas as we are a country that should be leading the way in the production of such things. A very interesting comparison all the same

All the best
