I recently had dealings with Vanguard Workwear that were far from satisfactory. It seems that others have had problems too - see http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2298873
The matter is now being followed up by my credit card company.
The sequence of emails below illustrate what happened to me.

Hello,
Since you have again failed to respond to my email, I will now take steps to recover the payment you have taken.
There will be an additional charge to you for all costs and inconvenience.
I will not be issuing any further warnings of the action I will take.
Regards, Ian Jones

Hello,
Re the above order number - I still have not received this item and I am prepared to wait longer however I am concerned that there may have been a delivery problem.
Please can you confirm that the order is progressing normally.
Thank you,
