What's your budget - are we talking Savile Row or Wood Green?0
-
OP are you looking to alterations or to have a complete suit made from scratch?0

You could try "a suit that fits". My husband paid £600 for a suit (outside London).
If you want a lot done you could consider a holiday to Thailand or somewhere similar.0 -
As a guide
For a 3 piece £500-£600
Blazer £250-300
Do you think that's reasonable?
Had two quotes £850 and £1100
Yes. See http://www.timeout.com/london/shopping/four-of-the-best-bespoke-suit-services-in-london (one is outside your price range, but others could fit into it quite easily).0 -

Just make sure you check some of their past work before you shell out anything!0 -
I found two relatively local one from £650 and the other £1100.
I will visit the first, but its looking like alterations on an off the peg"enough is a feast"...old Buddist proverb0 -
Rule of thumb - if you have to ask the price of bespoke tailoring, you cannot afford it.
The total cost will not come in under £3000 for a fully London tailored suit though, (potentially a lot more, depending on fabric). Anything below this is either tailored offshore or adapted from an off-the-peg part-finished suit.0
