BY GEORGE THAT SUITS YOU SIR AND SO DOES THE £19 PRICE TAG
George Goes into Smartprice for the First Time



Customers at George will be able to pick up Britain's lowest priced suit when it lands in stores this week and still get change from £20.

The two piece suit normally sells for £19 for the jacket and £6 for the trousers but kind-hearted bosses have decided to throw the trousers in free, for a week, to celebrate the move into Smartprice for George.

The suit comes with a good pedigree. George's master tailor used to make bespoke suits for peers in the Houses of Parliament, meaning that the £19 suit doesn't come at the expense of good tailoring.

The black single breasted, three button suit, is also machine washable, meaning that you could buy it for less than many dry cleaners would charge to launder it.

"It's not a stitch-up I assure you. You really can be a cut above the rest with change from £20 thanks to George," said George Global's managing director, Angela Spindler.

"The reason why we can deliver such great value is simple, we buy in bulk and pass the cost savings that this brings direct to our customers", Spindler adds.

What is SmartpriceSmartprice is ASDA's value range. The offer which currently covers food, health and beauty and homewares is now to be extended to George.

ASDA/George and EthicsThe way that George has sourced the suit also means you can pick it up with a clear conscience. Its new dedicated sourcing team has ensured that it has been ethically sourced. An ongoing long term relationship with the supplier, as well as three audits, ensures that the factory meets and exceeds both ASDA's and the Ethical Trading Initiatives code of conduct.

Had a look on the posts before I posted and couldn't see it! Ah! well, the extra 99p will probably buy you a shirt & tie to go with it !!

yes they were talking about it on jeremy vine's show on radio 2. he actually tried one on, live on air, he said he was pleasantly surprised!
they also had a savile row tailor in the studio to give his opinion, obviously he wanted to do the £19 suit down, but he had to admit it was ok.
the deal is that normally it's £19 the jacket, £6 the matching trousers, this will revert next week i think.

Would anyone recommend a place to buy a good value suit, thats potentially a little better quality? Maybe somewhere online?

I went into Asda yesterday to have a look, and not bad, they did have up to 44 inch waist trousers, which is a rarity, most suits I see only go to a 40, and its not bad for the value, was rather impressed!
