The pound shop business model relies on some customers presuming everything is a bargain and buying it regardless. If all customers only bought the items which would cost more than £1 in a supermarket then the pound shop would go out-of-business.
The strangest one I find is paracetamol. A pound shop will sell you 3 packets of 16 for £1, Aldi will sell you a packet of 16 from the same manufacturer in a different packet for 20p - you're getting 3 packets for the price of 5 from the pound shop. What's even stranger, unless you have a prescription for paracetamol, if you walk in to a pharmacist's and ask for more than 2 x 16 packets or 1 x 32 packet you'll have to convince the pharmacist as to why you need to buy that many all at once.
This is a measure to prevent overdose. That's also why you no longer get bottles of 100 paracetamol pills any more that you could simply pour into your mouth.
Funny that I was able to buy a bottle of 100 ibuprofen or 200 Advil (aspirin) when I was in Florida last year
From my point of view, Superdry seems to be aimed at the "hooded yoof" in society. It is noticable in Halifax where some of the local inhabitants still wear a coat in the height of summer.
Its nothing special, I used to wear my leather biker jacket all year round
