Best high street store for men's suits?

Buster_Danog

I was on Oxford Street today, and went into the main stores looking for a cheapish navy-blue suit. I couldn't get one in Primark because my legs are too long (36 inch leg) and anywhere else the cheap suits seem to be in black or grey.

Are there any shops I might haver missed? I am thinking of trying Westfield tomorrow, but they are pretty much the same stores really. I am hoping to spend between £70 and £90 for a blazer and trousers. Am I asking too much?

I looked at the Matalan website but they only list one suit. Is their selection really that bad? Any suggestions please?

Did you consider M&S? http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/node/n/43498030?mnSBrand=core

£49.50 for a suit... or 2 for £80!

I seen those ones Ringo. I am actually buying it for a funeral, but I don't want to wear black. I would prefer blue. They had some other colours, but were apparently out of stock. It mainly seems to be black and grey at Marks though.

Don't know if it will be in-store too.

I was thinking of this one at 49.50 in charcoal, but that is still darker than I want. I don't really think stripes are good for a funeral. I think I may end up paying £130 for a navy suit at Marks. I seen some cheaper, but none of them do my leg size.

I saw that one at £129 but didn't suggest it as I thought it was too much over your budget.

The Cotton Trader option seems good but there are only a couple of sizes actually in stock. (Hope you have a spare hour or two, the site is sooooo slowwww.....)

I ended up hiring one with Mossbros for £40. I haven't seen the entire suit yet, but was not that impressed with it. There is a dark grey one in Primark that looked more like a £150 Marks suit to me. Unfortunately they didn't have it in my size. Typical! It was only about £40 for the trousers and blazer as well. I would have bought the navy one from Marks for £130 but they only let you order long leg sizes from the internet these days and I needed to get my hands on the suit.
