I love "royal tailor". Did this suit have silk frogging and the crest of the Order of the Garter embroidered on it in gold?

I'm just going to start doing this whenever somebody I dislike buys something from a Royal Warrant holder. PROUD SOCIALIST SPLASHES CASH IN ROYAL PHARMACIST (Boots). PROUD SOCIALIST BETRAYS PRINCIPLES AND NATION BY EATING ROYAL CEREAL (Weetabix).
