Look at the prices of those shirts, they only need to sell 3 a day,
and they've paid their staff wages already. Tax and unit rental won't
be more than another couple of shirts, etc.


but why would someone buy a posh shirt whilst waiting for a train?


To some, they're not 'posh shirts', they're just 'shirts'


Thomas Pink isn't that "posh" anyway. Its like Austin Reed. They
market themselves to those individuals who think they've got more
class than they have. All they have going for them is the fact that
they named themselves after a tailor who had a colour named after him.
