     The suit I own is too small and cheaply cut, yet so many people that see me wearing it comment on how dapper I look. I just don't know how much the average person can pick up on this thing.

They say that, presumably, because you look better than you normally look.  Also it so happens that wearing things too tight seems to be 'in' at the moment (see the 'photographs of posters' thread).  But I'm sure some people do notice your suit's shortcomings, and in general those will be the people placed higher within the social pyramid.

     It did occur to me that businessmen and the like would notice, but they strike me as a less than central demographic for the purposes of this ad. I don't suppose businessmen were running around telling everyone that the guy's suit didn't fit, which would indicate that this is something most people catch on to across the pond.

The claim is often made that the British male is more cognizant of dress standards than the American - I do believe it is true once you equalize for class.  But the poor quality of the suit isn't essential to Al's original point, is it?
