Need some suits for a new job - where is decent?

mr_fishbulb

Hi all,

In my current job I just need trousers and a shirt, but I'm moving somewhere where I need to wear suits and ties.

I need to get 3-4 suits. Is there anywhere good with deals on at the moment that make decent suits?

I've got mine from M&S before - One I'm happy with but the other was a cheapy so it is too hot.

TM Lewin usually has suit deals on (yeah, the way DFS has sofa deals on, but I have no problems with the TM Lewin shirts). Don't know if the suits are any good.

Would spend £200-250 per suit as long as they are decent.

Cheers for any suggestions.

Hi

I wear suits every day and the 300-400 pound ones faired worse that ADSA, I now buy ASDA suits 1 Jacket and 2 trousers for under £100 and save a fortune, same for shirts.

Cheers - what are the £100 ones made of?

My hubby always goes for the Next machine washable ones- not horrendously expensive, and of you add in the waistcoat can look quite classy, so long as you dont go for the "fashion" colours- you can get them on the sale for about £80, and they tend to last two or three years before looking shabby- we buy two new ones a year and and the oldest one to the charity shop

My OH buys them from TK Maxx. They do good suits and 'designer' ones at that. The quality is so much better than your regular Next or ASDA and you pay less. It'll probably have some small defect which you certainly can't spot. I'd definitely recommend it for the quality and fit

Thanks all. Unfortunately the only TK Maxx I can get to is a women's one.

Will check out Next

Bought my most recent suit at Austin Reed. Came in at around £150 during sale.

Definitely recommend Next. Seem to be great value for money for the people I know who have them and also Next is pretty decent shop if you ever have any problems with them.

Tesco often do really good deals too. My hubby got quite a good suit for an Army/Roayl function and the trousers and jacket were only 50 together. He did get the waistcoat and a shirt at the same time but if you don't want them......£50 not bad and they are machine washable.

Slaters is good value if you have one near by.

I wore suits daily and found they lasted really really well. Never paid more then £100.

Service is excellent as they aare like the old fashion tailors - tell you size by looking and free alterations.
