Ted Baker, any good?

When you ask "are they any good", do you mean is the quality of their construction there? It's kind of a "hip" line or what the clothesnoscenti call "fashion forward" whatever that means.
I've owned a few of the shirts and there was nothing special or particularly high end about the construction, but the look was right and I got them for much less than retail. Some of the Ted Baker stuff has a classic look which they pair with unusual color treatment on the cuffs or colors or, in the case of a velvet jacket a sartorially distinguished friend of mine found an excuse to wear, the lining. I find the blend of classic and daring attractive and if you do, then you may enjoy their stuff.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a combination of quality construction and good value, keep walking. Quality is not bad, it's just that the value for dollar spent is not, imo, there. As always, the math changes during a sale.

yeah I got it on a sweet deal, I guess I should've geared my question towards recognition I guess. If it were a recognizable brand. the suit retails at around 2k. and I can have it for a fraction....like 300 and change. lol
If you can get a Ted Baker suit in your size and it's a style that you like for 300 bucks, then buy it. That's an easy call.
nicely done. Ted Baker is a recognizable and respected house.

Hi, I bought a new Ted Baker Endurance suit for £149, last one left so was on sale to make way for new stock, wearing for the first time today, comftertable but already found a small amount of meterial had come off on inside the right pocket!
