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'


Then surely their butler would be procuring said shirts from somewhere more
upmarket than a railway station concourse.

That's not the butler's job. The valet or gentleman's gentleman, perhaps.

Depends on the cost I suppose. Everyone has a different price point for
these things
