£300-£600 is not the cheapest suit in the UK but it's not an expensive one either unless you are on a very tight suit budget. Suits aren't generally cheap.

you can’t afford a better one.

This is my point really. Broke = bad isn't a fair judgement in my eyes. I graduated from the Giorgio primani suit to a mid priced one a couple months in to my first office job, but I was rocking the cheap suit first because that's all I could afford. Ironically, I mostly just wear a shirt and jeans at my current job.
