Quality men's suit desperately required

    Bargain crazy have extended their 75% off sale (see the discounts board)... if you match a jacket with trousers I think you can get a suit for about £10...worth trying just to see I think.

    Have you tried the Next Clearance stores? They have further reductions on at the moment. All men's suit jackets are £14. Can take a bit to match up the trouser's tho.
    When they did set price reductions previously, I ended up going to 3 different Clearance stores to match trousers to jackets, but ended up with really cheap next suits for work (£16 for a suit at that point in time). That way you are getting good quality, but not spending a lot (not sure if you are after better quality tho)
    Not sure where in the country you are, but there is a large Next Clearance in Leeds, and I managed to match everything up there.
    The stores are listed on the Next website, but they just say Clearance next to the town of the store.

    As you live in south wales try the dewhirst factory shop in swansea. They make suits for marks and spencer ans sell both seconds and perfect suits (the seconds often have such small defects you cant even ee them!)

    You could probably walk out with a M&S wool suit for £30-40.

    I live in the north east of england and we have 4 dewhirst factory shops. The suit like the one in your picture would be about £40.

    Hope this helps.

    Bought a jacket and trousers seperate at Matalan, for a wedding, for less than £30 combined and no-one could tell it was not a suit. I got the fit I wanted and at a good price.

    I brought jacket and trousers from Matalan for £50 and the suit is excellent qulaity. Has a great feel to it and a good fit.

    I buy Skopes suits from our local gentleman's oufitters for £120 which I find are very good.

    I'm in need of a suit too and thinking about M&S.

    I notice i could go in store and find a suit and then order online and get £10 off per piece using code?

    Thanks for all the replies.

    This is a great tip for M & S suits, think I'll try there first.

  • I guess from your comments that £200 is too much, but i think you do get what you pay for when it comes to suits.
