Worth having a look in Next, little bit more expensive maybe but they have some decent stuff (sometimes).

You can pick up a designer suit for the price of some of the ones in Next/Burtons etc. Just got to go to somewhere like Suits You when they have a sale on.

Don't go to Burton or Next if you want something decent.

Marks isn't a bad shout if you can't get to somewhere with some reputable designers.

Also worth a go are rental companies, like Moss Bros, who'll sell you a 2nd hand tux worth £300+ for under a ton. Nobody will be able to tell its used. Alternatively they have new ones starting at £60 or so, worth paying a bit extra and getting a £99 one though.

oh, Austin Reed are good but you may struggle to find one for under £100, unless they've got offers on (which they probably do at the moment).

Get a machine washable suit. 

I doubt many people take much notice of what a bloke is wearing to a wedding, and therefore the difference between a £39 suit and a £300 one.

Best value for a decent suit off the peg is M&S, they will probably be just about on budget, but at least you know you are buying quality.

If you put the time in you can get yourself a nice mod suit, with waistcoat and all for not much more than £20 in a second hand shop. It might smell of granny a bit though.

Do the same thing in Camden and it isn't called 'second hand', it is called 'vintage' and you can stick a nought on the end.

Get a return ticket to Thailand for approx £400. You can get a hand cut/measured suit made up over there proper cheap and as they have your measurements from the 1st they do even cheaper deals on any extra you get made.

Plus you get a Thai holiday thrown in the bargain. You win twice Smiley
