Title: Where to buy a suit????
Post by: Big Tone on 20 April 2012, 07:58
Help, got a christening next week, so I need a suit. Don't want to spend a fortune, 100-200 squid tops.

Any help, was thinking river island as I like the look of there suits, but dont want to just go in and get ripped off!

That's a bit of a gay question  :laugh:

Ps I went to a Christening the other week suited and booted and most of the men didn't wear suits and ties etcanyway. So wouldn't worry to much.

i think they do leas fitting ones for people of normal size. im just a skinny cun... however ive always been morw a fan of the fitting ones. (Think they do tayloring but not sure never had to have it done

For less fitting "normal" suits ive always seen nice ones in house of fraser.

M&s do some good suits at a reasonable price and you can pick and choose different jacket and trouser sizes separately so you should get a good fit

you're a normal size compared to me!  :grin:

you shouldn't have any problem getting a suit.

try having a 56" chest, 40" waist. have to have suit jackets tailored cause they don't make the arm holes big enough!  :laugh:

 :huh:

I spent 2 years working in there. Agreed the cheaper range is a bit cheaper looking, but the rest of its good stuff. Especially the Aquascutum range.

Can't beleive no one has suggested Next yet!

Get all my suits from next. Love the slim fit range + they do mix and match sizes, so you can get a really nice fit (with extr lengths and short etc).

They do a really nice pure black one for £79 actually with jacket and trousers.  :smiley:

I'm an odd shape to fit for, and have never had a bad suit from Slaters. I have from many other places on the high street.
In terms of fit vs. cost, you can't really go wrong with it.

The key is to be fitted by one of the older guys. Who'll tell you if something looks crap on you.
