Does anyone here know if the quality of the materials used in the clothing partially justifies the price (obviously nowhere near fully)? Or is the price just based on the brand name alone, lol.

Wouldn't mind if anyone cared to name drop some brands that price based on the use of high end materials too. I know japanese brands generally do but unfortunately I'm 6'4 and can't fit into any of their jackets or knitwear :[.

I went in the McQueen shop just before his death and down that spiraling staircase made of stone which is where the menswear collection is. It was full of overpriced clothes which all looked a bit odd. The materials were not out of the ordinary. You couldn't really wear the clothes anywhere because of the cost and the fact you can ruin them so easily.

T-shirts are the only justifiable item you can buy and wear.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Rez who is this MLI person you speak of!

Cheers for the feedback X, pretty much what I suspected from what I've browsed online. I think I'll probably be giving it a miss.
