I have not heard any bad stories about DUI quality, on the contrary they
seem to have a reputation as being tough suits. Or I certainly would not
have coughed up the bucks for one, that's for sure.

It's their customer service which seems to be spotty. They appear to be one
of those companies where the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you look at
their returns specials page you'd think that they would get some sort system
going on the suit sizing issue.
