Dinner Suit - any bargains out there?

We need to buy my hubby a dinner suit, not cost effective to keep hiring! Anyone spotted any bargains out there? Thanks, Bev

    Gotta agree with Asda.

    Off the top of my head, Jacket £40, Pants £14, Shirt & Bow Tie £15.

    Don't quote me on those prices though. ;)
    Just run, run and keep on running!

    if they don't stock these at your local asda ask if there is a george outlet near you. there is a huge one opened in our city centre which I only noticed a few weeks ago ::) have some fantastic clothes, our local asda isn't as big as I thought! They only stock a 1/4 of the range, if that :o

  • Bought the suit, really nice too, nice cut/fabric. £55 but they took the £10 voucher we got through the post, so £45 for a brand spanking new DJ! About the same as hiring, so set-up for life (as long as he gets no bigger!). Thanks guys.
  • Ex hire places can also be a good bet for future ref...
    One day everything I earn will be mine and not the banks... ::rotfl:
  • Got an excellent tux from oxfam for a tenner!! worth a go if your not too proud!!
