Burton Menswear

Burton Menswear offers a 10% military discount. Present your MOD 90 or official military ID and it applies to your order. Online-only since 2021 — no high street stores — so everything goes through burton.co.uk.

About Burton Menswear

Been clothing British men since 1903. Suits, shirts, casual wear, knitwear, shoes and accessories. Affordable end of the market, which makes the 10% saving useful rather than token. On a full suit order it adds up.

The military connection goes deeper than most brands bother with. Montague Burton's factories turned out a quarter of all British military uniforms during World War Two, and a third of the demob suits handed to returning servicemen once it was over. "The full monty" — jacket, trousers, waistcoat, shirt, underwear — came from the complete Burton demob package. No other British clothing brand has a comparable history with the Armed Forces.

The Burton Menswear Military Discount

Serving personnel across all branches qualify — Army, Royal Navy, RAF and Royal Marines. Veterans and reservists too. MOD 90, a veteran's ID card, or official military credentials confirm eligibility. Online, you verify through the military discount route on the site, and the 10% is applied at checkout.

Ten percent off at Burton's price point is worth using. On a suit at £80 that's £8 clear. On a full outfit — suit, shirt, trousers and shoes — the saving moves into double figures. Check the deals panel on this page for the current offer link before heading to burton.co.uk.

What's Worth Buying

Formal wear is where Burton still earns its keep for forces personnel. Mess dinners, regimental occasions, civilian smart events during leave, transition interviews — suits from around £60 full price, often less in the sale, in slim, regular and tailored fits. Made-to-measure disappeared when the brand went online-only, but the ready-to-wear range covers most builds without much compromise.

Beyond the suits, the casual range is solid for anyone refreshing a civvy wardrobe after leaving service. Jeans, chinos, knitwear, jackets — priced sensibly and regularly discounted in the sale. For a broader look at fashion deals for the forces community, the Fashion section has regularly updated offers from clothing brands across the UK.

Sales and Additional Savings

The sale is the other thing to watch. Up to 60% off suits, shirts and casualwear drops regularly, end of season being the main window. Forces discount applies to full-price lines — most sale items are excluded — but the sale prices can be sharp enough on their own.

Free delivery over £50. Returns within 28 days. A delivery pass at £14.99 a year covers unlimited standard and next-day UK delivery with no minimum spend — works across Burton, Debenhams, Wallis and Dorothy Perkins. Worth picking up if you order from more than one of those. For other online shopping deals open to forces families, the Online Shopping page has current offers across a wide range of retailers.

Tips to Keep Costs Down

• Use the military discount link on this page before ordering — 10% off full-price items at burton.co.uk.

• The £14.99 annual delivery pass pays for itself quickly if you order regularly from Burton or other brands in the same group.

• Sign up to the Burton newsletter for early sale access and occasional additional discount codes.
• For suit purchases over £100, the 10% forces saving is significant — worth stacking with a sale line if the discount applies.
