Suits

Got a job interview next week and in past I've never needed one for work and always just bought a £40 throwaway one for weddings etc, so only ones I've got are shit.

 

Thinks its about time I got a decent one.

 

So where's best place get a quality one without shelling out a fortune?

Wouldn't say they are proper high quality but for an interview get one from next.

 

£80-200

 

Sale on next week too

Matalan. I kid you not iv got a top one for £55

Suits from Next are decent and I'm pretty sure the sale is starting this Saturday - if it is, go early (6am) have your size for jackets and trousers ready as they don't have fittings rooms open

Try Slaters in Manchester City Centre. I get all my suits from there and have never been disappointed with the price or quality. They do offer a value range too so ask for the £59 suit selection. All alterations are free of charge too

Another vote for Next here too

I've been Next sale once before with the missus. Never, ever again.

you'll be right then. Let him get his from Jacamo

Got a tailored one from slaters in town for 200 recently.

Avoid Ted Baker suits like the plague, they last about 2 weeks

 

You can pick up some really nice Alexandre suits from House of Fraser for not much over a couple of hundred quid when they have their sale on.

 

And they always seem to have sales on!

 

Obviously depends on your budget though pal.

 

M&S have nice suits that aren't expensive too

got mine from moss bros

I used to go to Slaters in the early 90s. Park outside, early saturday morning, run in, choose a suit within 90 seconds (it helps that I was the same size as the dummy [or, should I say, I have a model figure].

But after the Manchester bombing in 1996 the parking attendants were vigilant.

Next suits aren't designed for people with big frames..

 

 

 

Debenhams for me Karl Jackson suits are pretty good..

Slaters is good, theres one in Bolton on Newport St

My first ever suit was from Slaters

I'm same height as you Jay...just a few pounds lighter

I get persecuted for goin the gym and having massive shoulders and arms

Cant go wrong with Next mate, they fit really well.

slaters staff service sets them apart from other shops selling similar suits in my experience.

how much do you want to spend?
