They are very real.
Their "normal" price (3995 sterling pounds for a basic 2 pc suit) can be checked in Huntsman´s website.
The "promotion" prices stated by st. tully are for the CMT (cut, make and trim, like when you take them your own piece of cloth to have a suit made). Basically they are throwing for free a piece of cloth that they have in stock. Not a big deal. Huntsman always offers a similar discount (usually 10%) if you pay up front in full. With recent ownerships (4 times in the last 15 years or so), other dealings, bargaining, and discounts were not unheard of, which did not help the image of this iconic house. I understand that this policy has returned to sanity now.
