Where to get a decent suit

I don't know what it is, he just makes me tents.

Freds just an Anorak

You mean that's all he wears? As he goes around in the afternoons flashing old ladies.

Don't stop Fred, they love the excitement. It brings a thrill to their otherwise stale lives. You're what they live for, their hope, their muse, their rush.

don't buy a suit from fucking Next!

unless its in their clearance section and costs a tenner, ala my mate found.

Moss Bross is a decent shout.

Personally I get mine tailor made. But then I guess that it's a damned site cheaper out here than in blighty.

Not being much help am I?

You've left it a bit late for Sunday, but unless you just happen to be one of those mythical "standard" sizes, or if you fancy treating yourself a bit I'd try:

www.asuitthatfits.com

You can spec something up on there for under £200, or push the boat out and have something really nice with a load of bespoke features like proper cuff buttons for £350-400. Nice.

It also means that people like me that can never get a suit off the peg to fit right are catered for. (Why are the majority of 30" length suit trousers in 34" and upwards waist sizes by the way? How bloody fat are the people in this country. And why are sizes only in even numbers? Surely to God that means half the population have trousers that are an inch too long or short or an inch too loose or tight in the waist.)

Bastards!

Bespoke's the only way to go for me.

Moss Bro's sold me very nice one about a year ago around the £200 mark, still in good condition now.

Sounds like they might be worth a punt. Not sure if they still havea  branch here though, used to though.

Seems your closest one these days is in Cardiff.

Have one in an outlet village in Bridgend, I think I'll have a look in there.

Wow, the whole suicide thing has really put Bridgend on the map! Great PR stunt by the local council.

Suits You were helpful, although that was a long time ago anf the in Southampton

[Reg Smeeton]

Always worth looking around the charity shops.....sadly gone are teh days when you could pick up a demob suit from Army and navy stores...they were proper ace.

    I got one a bit too big and tailored it myself.   I kind of saw myself as Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca....read Camus and Sartre...and thought I could outgrow "football".   Unfortunately...Camus claimed everything he knew he'd learn from football, and I soon rediscovered the eternal verities of the terrace.

I got two new ones from Next last month, fit very well and a bargain at £170 each.

[Gelbfüßler]

Steal one from someone at the Morrisons at the Morfa, then wear it through Town Hill or Bon-y-maen. Once it's completely ripped to bits and covered in blood take it to some posh suit joint and demand a refund. Then you can stroll up Mumbles looking the dogs and be ready for interviews etc.
