Suit Not Fit for Purpose

I hope I'm posting in the right place.
Back in May 08, my DH bought 2 suits from Suits You. One, made by Baumer, split at the crotch and DH had it fixed by a local tailor. On Friday, the whole crotch and bottom area came apart at the seams.
We no longer have proof of purchase, only a statement showing the total spend in that store and the date. The suit cost around £199.
We've just been to a different Suits You store and mentioned the incident and the assistant mentioned we should take it back but that he couldn't deal with it in that shop.
Is there anything we can do? It seems a lot of money to pay for a suit that didn't even last a year.

After such a long time it is doubtful that you will get anywhere with a claim, especially as you had a repair done to it, that instantly invalidates any guarantee usually. You should have taken it back in the first instance of damage, prior to getting a repair.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0
