Not the new TV series that has just started, although I watched the first episode tonight and it's veeeery good!

Where do you guys go to buy suits?  I've been all over, Burtons, Top Man, Next, M&S, but can't find anything that fits well.  Jackets aren't too bad, but the trousers are either too big/small on the weight (I'm a 37" apparently!), or the legs are too tight.

Seriously though, I desperately need a new suit  :grin:

Find your local Asian community, find the Tailors, have suite made to your own spec, and will probably cost considerably less than an off the peg M&S or Next item...

i had the same problem last year... ended up buying one from debenhams if i remember correctly... jeff banks one... and very nice it is too... more value for money in a suit than anything else I looked at... and i looked at a LOT of suits!!

worth a gander as they have a sale on at the moment
