Sorry for posting here but Im guessing age range is in this section.

going to a party then a few weeks later a wedding - DS needs a suit, he'd like one with a waistcoat etc... any ideas please dont know where to start!

Did have a quick look at NExt and Debenhams but all very young and tacky looking!!!

Have you tried scouting eBay? You might find a better quality second hand one?

Is he average 11 year old size/ height?

At 11 my son could fit into men's clothing ( but is tall ), is that an option?

Monsoon might have something.

There is no way my 11 year-old would fit into mens' suits! But Next or JL would be good options. eBay also sounds like a good call!

How big is he? My recently turned 12yo fits into small adult sizes, but plenty of his contemporaries are tiny.

The next suits are fine. They're proper suits, if a little on the shiny side, and not too extortionate. M&S have a great choice, online. They're quite stylish looking, too.

I saw tux jackets in H&M this week but in small boys. Not sure if big boys had them but worth a look

Loads of 'bought for a wedding, he wore it once then grew like a weed' suits on eBay. I got one for about £12.

IDismyname · 12/01/2016 06:29

Haha! I have a navy linen boys suit I keep meaning to sell in ebay!

We got it from Debenhams. They certainly used to have a large range of children's wear for weddings etc.

Another recommendation for John Lewis. There's a three piece suit they have all the time (they change the colour by season, we've had in navy and stone, and I've also seen in black and grey)

Had to buy suit for DS for school production. Amazon had a few around £20 mark. The fit and quality were fine for something that won't get much use. You can also buy ex hire outfits for just a little more.
They were also easy to return since first one I ordered was too small. A lovely lady phoned me to check the measurements before she sent out the larger one. They were based in Cannock I think.
