Has anyone been to this Factory Shop?

Hi,
I need to buy my husband and dad some work shirts for Christmas, and there was an offer on Groupon today for Savile Row company

• £12 for a £25 code (52% off)

• £30 for a £60 code (50% off)

(the link is here if anyone can see any catches in the deal I would appreciate a heads-up as it looks reasonable to me)
http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/national-deal/savile-row-company/13775728

Looking down over the dispatch address, it is in Castledawson, which is about 40 mins away from me. I googled it and it turns out that there is a factory shop there but not much info about the factory shop online. Has anyone been?

Should I call there, or would buying the deal on Groupon be a better idea and save myself the diesel?

    I think you may find the factory shop prices will be the best price - especially as Groupon take such a cut out of the deals.

    Edited to include website

    Have you checked out the website offers?

    Shows them with a Central London Address and a Castledawson contact number

  • Thanks for your reply,
    I went anyway. I picked up a few bits and pieces. There were seconds and what seemed to be website returns at very reduced prices. I can't see anything wrong with them at all and I think the quality is pretty good for the price.

    However, the snob in me wants to have nicely boxed shirts for Christmas presents, so I bought the Groupon offer this afternoon. At least thats another present off the list.
