I went for a 'made to measure' and followed the instructions closely. Unlike UK suits, the trouser sit very high (closer to belly button than what I am used to calling 'waist'), and there's no way I c... See more

faulty goods

the product is faulty and i was requested by EO to have the garment dry cleaned....my reply to their email is "Sorry that is just not acceptable the product is faulty and not of satisfactory quality I provided you with photographs it is also bobbling after wearing it 3 times. One aspect of a product being of satisfactory quality is durability.

The product order confirmation was around 3rd January with product arriving early Feb you were notified within 30 days of receipt of goods, that is why I have provided you with an opportunity to replace or refund the product, please let me know which of the two you are prepared to honour"...no response. The silence is deafening!!

Quality good, customer service terrible.

Quality of suit is good for what you pay for. However the customer service is awful. I had to return some trousers because they didn't fit. 3 months later after continual chasing they then inform me days before my own Wedding, that they were 'delivered' two months before despite telling me for weeks that they were still in production. They have not provided any details of who delivered it, where they delivered it

They have not tried to help in anyway and now I am without trousers for my own wedding.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

Cheaply made suits from China for for £200!!

Poor quality material with loose stitching and oversized even though measurements was sent.

Pictures on the website look good but be aware that is not what you’ll receive!

Feeling rather foolish I should’ve read the reviews before purchasing!

TitleLovely 3 piece suit

Title: Great quality 3 piece suit

I ordered this suit for my Son, who was going to Cheltenham races, we left it last minute to order it and asked if it could be marked as priority. Even though it is tailor made and quality is not compromised they honoured our request and sure enough it arrived today, just in time. What a beautiful and quality suit which fitted spot on. Lovely detailed buttons and lining. He was well chuffed and can’t thank you enough

Son’s Wedding

Superb. Great fit and really good quality. At the tender age of 67, I thought I was long past receiving look complements but when wearing this waistcoat apparently not. Thank you.

Amazing quality, adaptable colour and great fit!!

I have been enhancing my style and this waistcoat is amazing at doing just that. Best thing about wearing suits is that you can mix match with different pieces giving everyday a different look and the neutral dark green of this waist coat goes with many other combinations!

I’ve never ordered a mail order suit…

I’ve never ordered a mail order suit previously, but as the price was right and the quality seemed fine, I went ahead and ordered. It was the beginning of corona virus and delivery was delayed, understandably. But boy was it worth waiting for.
EXCELLENT QUALITY
EXCELLENT FIT
Another thing happened which has NEVER happened before, when I wore it at a friends wedding, Total strangers came up to
Me and complemented me on the suit!

BEWARE - Terrible Suits that Fall Apart

I am writing this god’s honest review to warn everybody, of the rubbish, useless, and well sub standard suits offered by this outlet.
The suits are very cheaply made in China, and they WILL fall apart after a couple of wears. I ordered 2 x suits and after months of waiting for them to be delivered; they finally arrived but were far too small, and not at all to the sizes I specified.
Empire stated that they are being constructed by an artisan tailor!!! Do not believe this bull****!
The suits are terribly made and literally fell apart after a couple of wears. They are the worst item of clothing I have ever bought, and I write this review to inform everybody, do not waste your money.
I wish somebody or an Institution would close this sham company down. They are literally stealing people’s money, and fobbing them off with a sub standard product.
You have been warned - do not buy!!

Hi Gareth,

I'm sorry that you had a negative experience with us.

After looking into the communication with our support team at the time, I can see that you only had a particular issue with the waistcoats ordered as part of your 3 piece suits.

You also stated that you selected the waistcoat sizes based on the sizes of an outfitter in London, our customer support team informed you that we do have a size guide and also a Find Your Fit app, to ensure you order the correct size.

We did offer to exchange both waistcoats for you but a response was never received.

Warm regards,
Empire Outlet

I was very concerned when I received a waistcoat rather than the jacket I’d ordered and I made the mistake of buying it before checking on here. I saw another person had the same thing happen so I did get the fear and told them as much.
As below, they didn’t have the jacket I ordered, but they did send me links to the ones they did have, but they were not blue so I didn’t want one. I asked to send back the waistcoat and have a full refund. They handled my complaint quickly and sorted the refund in full and offered me to keep the waistcoat for good will.
So overall a lot of time spent sorting and worrying but it was handled very well indeed.

Something fishy going on with this company. Poorly made and cheap items but the real kicker is if you need to return anything. Went through the proper process and have had a month of backwards and forwards, scrapping to get my money back.

As many others have said if you stumble upon their google reviews, no matter what you send it back on, they claim it isn't received. I had a courier confirm it was on board the delivery vehicle back to the warehouse, but they wouldn't even accept that. Customer service very robotic, the same replies without reading messages.

Giving them one more chance, then will be going through my credit card. Would advise staying far far away from this company.

DO NOT BUY

DO NOT BUY! I ordered a suit and just didn’t hear anything despite multiple emails and chasers on social media. Terrible customer service.

Sorry to see that you had a negative experience. After looking at your order I can see that you did indeed have various emails with our customer services team and have received a full refund for your order.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs, not only are they more expensive than mid range suits like burton, moss, and slaters but they’re also a drop shipping business. They buy the suits from china for very little money and sell them for £200. After purchase all of my emails were ignored and I am now stuck with the worst suit in my collection.

Hi Marshall,

After looking into your issue I can see that you had emailed customer support about a defect in the material of the Jacket sleeve.

However after looking at the pictures supplied by yourself it is quite clear that there are no defects.

Since your order was made specifically to your body measurements and you had not complained about an incorrect fit it is not refundable.

Warm regards,
Empire Outlet

Poor communication & cancelled order 6 weeks later

Ordered items to be shipped out within the next few working days. 6 weeks later still nothing and then a cancellation email to say these items are not Instock. Poor communication and poor service.

Hi Andy,

Apologies for the technical error that led to your order being cancelled, our support team were unfortunately not alerted by our fulfillment service provider that there was an issue.

We have recently moved our stock and fulfillment processes elsewhere to ensure issues like this don't happen again.

Warm regards,
Empire Outlet
