I wanna suit for my 12 year old son

My brother gets married in September and I want a suit for my 5ft 12 year old son. Happy to hire or buy, but trying to keep the cost down. Any ideas gratefully received!

Have you tried Asda and Tesco? They both do cheap wedding ranges.

Thankyou both - that's a day out shopping tomorrow then! He likes the one on next.co.uk - fingers crossed they have one in (and now he wants a bl**dy cravat!! - eeek!)

Thank you again, nicola, it's ordered and on it's way.

Hi, I know you now have one, but just incase anyone else is looking...about 2 years ago my mum got a suit for my little brother from an indoor market wedding stall for about £30 (jacket, trousers and two shirts)...was a bit wary about the quality but it was excellent, he had loads of wear out of it, but unfortunately it is now too small. This was in hereford but I'm sure there are loads more similar stores around.

Look at all the nicki/nicola/nickkis on this thread! Thank you nikki, after i'd been in next and ordered one, we were walking through the market in manchester and saw a stall just like that..... they didn't have DS's size but they all looked fine to me, and i'll remember markets in future as a first stop. He'll wear this once and grow out of it. He's on at me and OH to get married now so that he can wear it again!!! EEEK!
