Men's suit for interview - 50 inch chest!

lynnemcf

DH will be looking for work soon and doesnt have a suit. We are on a teeny budget, was wondering about Matalan or George (ASDA) or Tesco. Any advice welcome.

Ooops, didnt realize he is well outside "normal" size. I guess we are doomed to shop in the "wide and tall" shops!

My son has to wear suits in the sixth form at school and I bought two from Matalan. We looked at Asda and Tesco but we prefered Matalan as the quality looked better. They are washable too.

I know a few people who wear Matalan suits for work and they think that they are great.

Or Primark - or Tesco!

An inexpensive brand new/sparkling clean suit is likely to look much better for an 'ordinary' interview than a good quality but battered suit, IMHO.

If you're going for a high-powered interview in the City or at Buckingham Palace, you will be better of going to a charity shop for a named suit, and having it cleaned

choices the outlet for next if you have one near you also sell some good quality suits, afterall if he gets the job he will need to invest in a suit, I personally think its something that you get what you pay for and a good quality suit will last considerable time without looking shabby.

I'd recommend buying a cheap one from the places already suggested. The important thing is that it is always clean and pressed - I notice that kind of thing when I'm interviewing men but could never guess whether the suit was Matalan's best or Armani, and I think that goes for most interviewers.
The point about buying a good suit so it can be worn in a job is a good one, but most young men these days wear separates or their office chair wears the suit jacket all day.

How about charity shops? We have just sent 2 suits to the charity shop that were practically brand new.

Matalan quality is better than Asda/Tesco. Matalan have a suit for £30 at the mo
