Covid may have, for a time, sounded something of a death knell for the suit as millions set up work at home and, no longer under the watchful eye of bosses, settled for a day in loungewear.
"Things went off-the-scale in terms of casual wear in the pandemic," said Austen, Managing Director of PDS Tailoring."But what we are seeing now is that everyone has got smart again and no-one want to wear joggers any more. The market is 60 per cent bigger now than the end of the pandemic and growing every year."
"Everybody deserves to look a million dollars, but not everyone has thousands to spend on a suit" is something he believes."We do a lot of business with George at Asda," he said."It started with a premium range, called Studio Edit, which was great but now we worked really closely with their design team and put together this new collection."
"It ticks all the boxes of essential wardrobe classics and we are proud of the collection," says Austen.
