Has anyone bought from The Style Brothers?

    I saw a sponsored ad on Facebook for the stylebrothers.com and the jumper in the ad looked nice so I had a look. Everything is cheap. Free shipping worldwide. Found 2 nice things on the site I was going to buy but I wanted to check for reviews first. Couldn't find a thing. They have 62,000 facebook likes but only 30 followers on twitter which I found strange. No reviews to be found anywhere.

    Anyone ever bought from them?

    I've seen the same ads on FB and was intrigued as well. But I honestly can't call it, I don't know. It's strange that they don't have reviews.

    The website was only registered in May and they joined facebook a couple of weeks later. I'd be giving them a miss.

    Good catch. Let some others be the test dummies first.

    Yeah I've seen a good few comments on their page asking where their order is that was ordered x amount of weeks ago. Someone also posted saying that what they received wasn't at all like the picture on the site.

    It's a shame really because some of their items look fairly good.

    I have bought from a similar site called wish. The products were cheap like the fashion brothers and the products were really poor, they took a month to arrive and the fabric was dodgy

    Bought off this site out of curiosity recently. Bought a fairly cheap item through PayPal so I'd be kinda protected. Item arrived today, roughly 3 weeks after the order was made. The size was a bit small fitting so I'm going to return it for the next size up. The quality of the product is ok. Not amazing, but not terrible either. So for the price I paid for the item it's about right.
    Would consider using them again.

    Just had a look. It's clearly drop shipping cheap Chinese gear. You can buy this gear yourself where they buy it - Aliexpress. It's cheap. Shipping is free but expect a long wait.

    eg:
    Contrast Detail Hoodie

    €35 at the Style Brothers

    €12 on Aliexpress

    Just to be clear, wherever you buy it it will be shipped by the same people. If you buy it at the Style Brothers they'll give Aliexpress €12 and your address and pocket €23. Basically.


    The stuff on Aliexpress is the cheapest of cheap clothing. It's Pennys level or below. But it's still a bargain because prices are ridiculous and shipping is free.
    Sizes are all over the place. Most if not all are Asian sizes, so you might have to go up a couple of sizes depending, on the product.
    Plenty of reviews. Look for good seller ratings. I wouldn't recommend getting something you hope to fit well. If you want to try it consider getting underwear, socks or ties.

    I was just coming to post the above. All the clothes on this website are overpriced Chinese stuff that can be found on Aliexpress, iOffer, Dhgate etc. For a fraction of the price.

    These clothes are also made to fit an Asian body and will not fit well the majority of the time. They also look extremely tacky and will not be suitable for everyday wear and have most likely been made in awful conditions.

    A good rule of thumb when you find one of these websites is if the clothes are on those black mannequins stay away. This means they have been made in China or South Korea in bad conditions and will look awful.

    That's fair enough, thanks for the info. Don't think I'll be using them again.

    I bought from style brothers, and i have to say, very horrible, not anything like in the pictures, very uncomfortable, way too expensive for the quality. Took literally 2 months to get here, they failed with the first delivery and then said I would be charged for a refund or will be charged to get it shipped over again. And the quality of the clothing is terrible, I recommend no one buying it. And service is even worse! I bought 2 products and both are very bad and nothing like the pics
