Aquascutum
Revitalised English menswear brand, whose collections include a designer ready-to-wear collection from Savile Row tailor Nick Hart. There is a wide range of prices and style-types in this sale.

Jaeger
Jaegar have changed beyond all recognition over the last few years, for the better. Their clothes are excellent, well-cut with anglo-italian influences. The suit cut is younger, sleeker and more streamlined. Shirts are well-designed from good cottons, they feel good in the hand and on the body. But what makes them stand out is the competitive pricing. If I was shopping for good (stylish) clothes on a budget I would go straight here. Suit prices in the sale are ridiculously low, from £199.00. I suspect this sale will sell out so make it a priority.
