I need to buy a suit for a wedding on saturday and i've narrowed it down to 2 similar ones, 1 at Burton and 1 at M&S. They both fit weill but any idea which would be the best quality?
Hmm they all seem to be made in China these days, the M&S suit I had for work was made well enough but the buttons came off way to easily.
Probably all made in the same factory - go Hugo Boss or go home! I'm off to a wedding tomorrow in mine, great quality and you can easily get it tailored to fit you exactly.
I used to say Austin Reed, but they're really taking the mickey now. But you'd never catch me in Burton!
Hit the cancer research or charity shops and have a rummage. Chances are there will be some trendy fashionable virtually unused or new quality kit in them somewhere.
^^ What the Danster said. Go round the charity shops in the nearest posh town where footballers live - designer pickings there!
Got a Hugo Boss jacket and trousers for 20quid in a charity shop once, went in there as I needed a suit and it was the first one I tried at the end of the road I lived on So you can get lucky!
charity shops then off to a tailor as suggested or if you wan't to buy new, suit supply are good for 200 ish
A posh charity shop is a great idea!!! I'm on my way to Heswall on the Wirral now so will try and call into one.
My current suit, if it can be called that, was something like 15 from Tesco. Does me for the occasional wedding/funeral, its a good fit but the quality is shocking. 148% Polyester too, so i'm literally firing lightning bolts from my fingers there's so much static.
suit supply were much nicer than the lewins one, me and elucidate did the whole saville row trawl last year. we also went into Ralph Lauren's. Elucidates mate runs a department there, so we had a beer and the suit consultant came over. We discussed cut and fabrics etc, and he said "it'll be 12 sir" so we thought 1200, that's a bit much. But no it was 12K. Sharp exit if you get one from lewins they massively mark up the tailoring, The leicester branch just use a local guy in the market to do their stuff, so best to go direct
trouble is my lifting's been going so well I can't get my massive ass in the trousers any more Wha-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Wha-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I still haven't had my Hugo boss one tailored, but it's pretty close, I just need 6" heels as the trousers are a touch long. Chelsea boots it is! Gutted I couldn't find a shirt in the colour I wanted with cufflink holes so I could show off my flashy Mont Blanc cufflinks - whaddya expect when you go to buy a shirt on the morning of the wedding (today), from Next?
