    I haven't bought one but I've been in the shop and the quality is fine. You might have trouble getting bigger sizes though, at least from my experience.

    Got one the last time this deal was on. Everything is good quality, the suites are a little samey in terms of fabric but apart from that its quite a bargain. The staff are very helpful too!

    Are the suits rubbish tho?

    We got our wedding suits here - they looked great and the lads still wear them.

    They are always doing deals

    When we were looking it was 2 suits for €250 - because we were buying six we got the 6 for €600 and 6 shirts for €100

    I bought there once. Suits are only ok. If you wear them every day you will sruggle to get a few months out of them. But for that price it is a good deal ( Plus I have a big ar*e so that might have something to do with the short suit life!)

    I was in there once and its seriously overpriced for anything nice. I have a feeling that nothing decent will be in the price bracket for the offer.

    I think I'll stroll over after work tonight and see what suits are going to be offered as part of the deal and check out the quality. Need a new suit for an upcoming wedding and if these are in any way decent it seems a great bargain.

    On their site it says there is a choice between 20 ranges of suits, but I only count 7 on the site that are priced €279.99 or lower. A visit is needed.

    The suits there are great, I've bought five suits from there about 8 months ago and wear them everyday for work. They are fine and the quality is great, no signs of wear and tear.

    Were all your suits priced €279.99 or lower?

    I'd be a little wary of the price they say the suits "were"

    I was in recently and bought a suit. Had reduced from €399 to €279. He gave it to me for €150. Very pleased with it. The suits they say were €279 are generally priced around €130 in store.

    The guy on the top floor of the place though is really helpful and will give you a good price on anything there. I got this deal before and wasn't too happy with the quality of the suits so asked how much for one that was double the price of the suits in the range. He gave it to me for an extra 50. Much better quality.

    The shirts included in the deal are limited to plain white, sky blue and a couple of other colours. Again though he gave me a good price on getting better quality shirts. Yes I spent a little more than I thought but the quality was much better and I was very happy with what I got.

    I usually got the ones on offer like 2 for 200 or 2 for 250

    Suit quality is fine when the deal price is taken into consideration. Definitely not worth €279 though.
