I popped into Kilgour yesterday and looked at the RTW range. A two-piece suits start at around £2,500! A RTW sports coat from its re-launched Bernard Weatherill brand is £1,600 to £2,300. As I mentioned before, the assistant told me that Cheshire Bespoke makes the Weatherill line. Presumably, Cheshire Bespoke makes Kilgour RTW too. Comparable Huntsman RTW prices (also made by Cheshire Bespoke) are £1,800 for a suit and £1,200 for a sports coat. So Kilgour is making massive margins, i.e. charging bespoke prices (similar to smaller Row firms) for RTW.
Norton and Sons pricing seems to be infectious.

Huntsman bespoke prices start at £4k for a two-piece but I have heard that there has been another price hike of 5 to 10%. It appears that a lot of bespoke business comes from the US.
