The summer sales took place in the year of our lord 1806. Unfortunately you missed the boat pal, they subsequently set sail with a cargo of bricks. If I remember correctly the final destination was the grand city hall in New York.

You'll rarely find genuine bargains in a sale. My ex did force me to 'check out' the sale in Louis Copeland when we were in Dublin over Christmas.

Sure, you'll find a suit down from €1200 to €700. You might even find a suit that matches your fit and colouring. I just think people go in there with their mind clouded by the idea of a bargain, rather than heading in there looking for a piece that really meets their requirements.

Suffice to say you can see the result of suit sale shopping in all its unflattering glory when you stroll down the business district in Dublin around Baggott and Fitzwilliam Street. €500 saved, reputation severely damaged.

If you're the type of person who goes and finds something that really suits them in a sale, then good for you. If you're the type who goes to a sale and arrives out an hour later looking beetroot faced and stressed; but with some hideous ill-fitting thing that was 60% off, and therefore a 'bargain' then you've just been had.

A good formal work suit is a signature piece for any wardrobe. Why skimp and end up wearing something that makes you look like someone in court for a public order offence when you can find a suit that really works for you?

Your slippin man' your pulling in a nice chunk of change every month.Find a good tailor.I won't wear a suit from the rack.My father in law started out in his trade as an 11 year old,in an industrial school for deaf boys.Back then,career opportunities for the deaf community were a lot more scarce than they are today and tailoring was a popular choice,as aural communication with others isnt required. Well,choice might not be the appropriate term as the places were basically sweat shops,but he walked out with a trade that would eventually take him half way across the world and back to the wealthy,workaholic, sprightly 77 year old he is today.Truly a master of his craft,anytime wear one of his rig outs its always something thats commented on and complimented.You see for me,a suit is all about the cut,a master tailor can turn the most drab of fabrics into something that will turn heads for all the right reasons.Loius Copeland is a master tailor,if you buy from the rack its not your cut though simple as,and the 'Louis Copeland' won't be made by the man himself,the names need a team of tailors on board to keep up with demand.

A serious professional would never buy a suit off a rack
