How accurate should a jumpsuit be????

I was looking at a suit on ebay, but i though hmm something dont seem quite right...

Well original...



not where the snow flake pattern meets the grommets that run down the suit, and the one snowflake below is differant too...


and i am not sure weather i should not just go get a b&K now, or do you think its such a small differance?

You know, i think only ETA's will know the diffends between a B-K and a diffend suit-maker.
But the audiounce wont even knowdest.

still looks like a real nice suit. i dont think its a big differance . could be a big differance in price though

There are a lot less studs on the other one too. It's true the audience might not notice the difference, but a B&K suit is cut better and what's more important I feel better walking out on stage in a suit that I know looks the business.

You do get what you pay for!

My advice to anyone starting out would be to get one B&K suit rather than several cheaper ones.

ah yes i can see this now about there being less studs. however i have to say B&K is not the be all and end all and i have to personally disagree with just having one expensive suit is better than having several cheaper ones. i really wouldn't want to keep turning up in the same suit all the time let alone trying to get it clean and dry and have it ready for the following night.maybe this would also wair and tear pretty quickly and i think it depends on how much your earning at your gigs and how big the venues are that you are doing. i mostly just do pubs and clubs if anyone can keep afording B&K suits then fair play. I'm not saying that i will never have one as i would love to build up to that one day but for the time being i'm happy with several cheeper ones and people always think they look great. I have bought the gold elite belt from B&K however and i love it dont get me wrong but i have also bought jewlrey from them and I have to say its all either broken or all gone brown and horrible. also someone just starting out it's allott of doe to spend if it doesn't work out. also would a pub landloard happily give you more money cause you say hey my suits a B&K? I think they wouldn't really care as long as they get a good nights entertainment and people buying beer for a fair price.

could'nt have put it better myself bud, totally agree

thanks bud ,

yeah you know i think your probably a prime example I'm sure i even remember you saying that you made some of your own and i have to say they look great and that you bought elsewhere for alott less money and i say again (without kissing your behind) lol . youve always looked as good as anyone.

havn't spk in a while mate hope all is well hope youve had a good year

all the best,,jase

B&K do make great suits, cream of the crop but there are also a few smaller american companies & two or three uk ones that do a fantatic quality job too. I agree with Jason it may be a little silly to spend all that dosh on one suit if you are just starting out & is also nice to have a few different suits to wear at gigs especially if returning to a venue for a re-booking.

Johnny has 2 B-K suits, and some of other company's.
Now i am very picky of what he wears, and frankly i must say, B-K is the name you are buying.
They are very good ofcourse, but like Jason said, there are a lot of good tailers out there that make it as good (some even better) as B-K, the quality is the same.
Also a friend of ours (also an ETA here in Norway) orderd the Rainfall and the Penquin in the beginning of April. He got the Rainfall in August and the Penquin last week from B-K.
So he had to waith a pretty long time to for it.

Your right all you paying for is the name and the EPE logo. Janet Tegal and Kathy works is 100x better and for right price too.
