About Burton UK

Burton is one of the oldest names in British menswear, founded in Leeds and for most of a century a fixture of the high street. The shops are gone. The brand was bought during the collapse of its former parent and now trades online only, within Debenhams Group.

What that means in practice is that the tailoring heritage survives as a product range rather than as a service. Nobody measures you any more, and the fitting room has to happen in your bedroom.

What it stocks

Suits and separates are still the anchor, sold as jackets and trousers in matching cloths so the sizes can be mixed, along with shirts, ties and formal shoes.

The casual side is larger than it used to be: T-shirts, polos, jeans, chinos, knitwear, hoodies and jackets. Big and Tall runs as a proper range rather than a handful of extended sizes, which is one of the practical reasons customers come here rather than to a younger chain.

Buying a suit online

Chest and waist are measured separately here, which is an advantage over a boxed suit sold in one size. Measure over a shirt, not over a jumper, and use a tape rather than the size you bought last time.

Sleeve and leg length will still need a tailor on most bodies, so build that cost and a week of time into the plan if the suit is for a specific date. Ordering two sizes and returning one is a reasonable approach given there is no shop to visit, provided the returns window covers your timeline.

Using a Burton discount code

Assemble the order, drop the code into the promotion field and check the amount due before you complete it. These are listed as Burton discount codes, voucher codes and promo codes.

Clearance events across the group run deep, and anything already reduced in one normally falls outside a sitewide percentage, so the two prices are alternatives rather than a sum. Codes issued for another Debenhams Group brand will not apply here. Suit and shirt multibuy offers appear regularly and generally beat a percentage on a full outfit.
