Cheapest children's suits

We are going to a wedding on Saturday and our 13 year old is being an usher. As is always the case, he has outgrown his own suit and his bother's is laughably large.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where we can get hold of a children's suit that is of reasonable appearance whilst remaining cheap as possible? And that we can get hold of by Saturday?!

Thanks in advance.

    Why don't you hire one, look in yellow pages. When my son was a paige boy we hired dark grey striped trousers, light grey waistcoat and black jacket, white wing collar shirt and cravat to match the bridesmaid dresses. He looked gorgeous, all we had to buy were black shoes.
