Judge Fudge Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrG Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salford Trotter Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 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 HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules_darby Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
