Suit is 4 months old and was bought for my wedding day back in June.

You forgot to mention that, well that's another £200 for emotional distress right there.

Then that suit has settlement all value, another £400.

Go for op sue the pants off them.

no Brexit blame yet ? bet they were immigrants who did it

£630 is cheap for a suit?

I need to get myself down to Burton Moss Bros Savile Row.

[anonymous-user]

Jesus!

That is all.

[Ekona]

I'm not sure the contents of my wardrobe come to £630...


But yeah, either live with the two tiny holes that no-one will notice and get drunk on the £100, or get a quote to fix from a tailor and ask them to cover that bill.

[Wacky Racer]

ffs! get a grip.

People are being blown up every day...PH'ers and their first world problems.....

Take the £100 and buy FOUR suits from Primark.

The company has offered a good will gesture of £100. I have rejected this. What are my options, thanks.

Go back and hope they're still offering that. Either take the £100 and have a night out and live with the 2 pin holes or take the £100 and get it repaired. Life is too short to be hiring lawyers over 2 pin holes!

[TVRnutcase]

Wear it 2 times - I would be surprised the two pinholes will still be able to be seen - unless the silk has been badly cut in the process of the pin being inserted.

And I am presuming 630 is for all 3 pieces - that IS a cheap suit... Is the OP trying to big note on the value of his suits?

[smileymikey]

Really ?

I despair, honestly I do. I bet some poor minimum wage middle aged lady got her arse kicked around the shop by the manager. After Mr indignant angry man had finished shouting at at him about his human rights and how he wanted a million pounds compensation for his trouble.

If the holes are on a silk piece of a waistcoat it isn't visible when you are wearing it as part of a three piece suit.

If you just wear the waistcoat on it's own, Don't worry - they are not showing the snooker at 4k yet.

[Alucidnation]

Great thread op.

Please come back and update us.

This, OP is a .

We would certainly never employ a chap with pin holes in his waistcoat.

A man came for an interview recently with the thread unraveling from one of his shirt buttons. We had security take him to the car park and deliver a sound beating.

Also, I swear if anyone with any damage to their waistcoat so much as glanced at my children - well I'd do time at her majesty's pleasure! I bloody would you know.

[soad]

OP, push for the cleaning bill's refund too!

I could understand if the colour has faded, it looked dull and lifeless, and silk now was like crepe paper.

[Turquoise]

And of course if by some miracle the OP did manage to bully/swindle the cleaners out of the full £630, we all know damn well he'd just bank it and happily wear the original suit.

[anonymous-user]

Don't fret too much - after a couple of years of married life you probably won't be able to fit into that suit ever again

OP not having much luck with services received

Fixed that for you

Who the hell wears waistcoats anymore? What is this 1950's? Did they also crush your bowler hat?

As a groom - quiet a few people? I didn't but it looks pretty smart to be fair to the OP.
