Men's Tailored Suit

Hi all,

I'm looking for a decent "value" men's tailor in central London to buy a couple of new suits.

I've just moved down to start a new job in the City, so need something pretty sharp. I don't mind paying for the quality and to have it tailored properly as long as i'm getting value for money. Plus when you have been blessed with a body shape similar to an orang-utan the fit makes a big difference.

Thanks in advance for you help.

    Have you tried TM Lewin in Jermyn Street? Traditionally they're shirt makers, but they had some lovely ones at half price (now £250) when we went in on Saturday.

    http://www.raja-fashions.com/ I got a tailor-made suit and 2 shirts (very good fits) for around £310, suit takes a little longer then the shirts but worth it for the fit and price and good customer service too.
    2p off is still 2p off!

    does anyone have a 'referral code'?

    if I use one, apparently I get a free shirt when i order a suit, and the referrer gets 'points' :

    You can't really haggle with them, I tried it but didn't get much joy.
