looking for a good quality suit

I am looking to buy my other half a good quality suit for Christmas. He has at last got a good job and wants to make a good impression. Have looked in Hugo Boss but am thinking is there any outlets we could try ?

  • OH has several suits from Next. Would 'stock up' in the January sales every year! Next at Junction One usually has a good selection at reasonable prices.

    I have a very expensive M&S one myself :D they even through in a free shirt, tie and suit bag when I bought mine :T

    I have had other more expensive ones in the past, but can really recommend the Markies one, good quality and washes well when needed :T

    Jacket, Trousers, Shirt, Tie and suit bag (and hanger;) ) all for under £100 :)
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    In my view the most important aspect of looking well in a suit is that the suit really fits. Most of the time the standard sizes are an adequate fit but rarely a superb one. If you want a good place, try Andrew Watson in Belfast - they have an in-house tailor and they can get it just perfect!

    They are not that bad. I got a nice suit earlier in the year and it was no more expensive than buying a nice suit off the rack from Jaeger around the corner (or most other designer suits). Of course if you want to spend £1k+, that is also possible!

    Austin Reed in either Junction One or the Outlet in Banbridge - they always have a sale rail with nice mens suits/shirts/ties/overcoats.

    You would probably struggle but £500 would be loads. You have to keep in mind that a suit gets a whole lot of use. Women don't think twice about spending £50 on a dress which might get worn 2 or 3 times... so if a suit is going to be worn twice a week for a year... at £500 it still offers rather good value per wear!

    Andrew Watson is in the town centre, I think it is the spires centre??
