Posing in the tuxedo he bought from a charity shop for just £125 after it was donated by David Beckham, this is the economics student who has been criticised for cashing in after he sold it online for £2,600.

Jordan Silverstone bought the Savile Row tuxedo from a British Red Cross charity shop in Chelsea after the Beckhams donated more than 20 boxes of clothes, bags and shoes in an attempt to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

Hundreds of fans queued around the block in a bid to get their hands on rare designer items, but a number of shoppers then put the items up for sale online.

Mr Silverstone had queued for one and a half hours to get the suit which Beckham wore to the Sun’s Military Awards in 2011, where he was pictured with the Duchess of Cambridge.

The 22-year-old has said he originally bought the William Hunt tuxedo for his father Matthew's 53rd birthday, but when he got it home he realised his father would not fit into it.

The Nottingham University student then decided to sell the suit and keep three quarters of the profit, to pay for a day out with his father and to put towards paying off his student loan, with the rest going to charity.

But the Nottingham University student has suffered abuse through social media sites and on eBay accusing him of cashing in on a charitable gesture.

Nazaneen Ghaffer, a Sky News weather presenter, said on Twitter that if an item doesn’t fit, people should ‘just sell them for what he/she paid’ – not make a profit.

But Mr Silverstone responded, saying: ‘It is absolute nonsense. If I keep the suit and leave it in my Dad’s wardrobe never to be worn then that is okay, but if I sell it on to a buyer who really wants it that isn’t?'

He added: ‘Where is the logic behind that? It’s rich of anyone to knock someone else’s charitable donations.

Nazaneen Ghaffer poses pictures of her exotic holidays in Dubai on Twitter – is someone having a go at her for not giving this money to starving children? No.’

He said: ‘From an economics point of view, it makes complete sense.

‘It doesn’t fit my dad, so we want to sell it to someone who can get value out of it as that’s better than it being unused.
