Prom suit for a boy - must be unique challenge for good searchers

[Tortington]

i give up.

he doesn't mind being chavtastic - he joked he would like a burberry suit. whatever floats his boat am not bothered

he likes a mod style suit he saw in brighton.

tbh i dont want to pay £175

his girlies parents are pushing out the boat.

either that or he wouldnt mind being a 50 cent rip off with trilby.

dont judge him he's 16 and stupid.

please help me out am a tad skintish and have looked on e-bay and only found one possible.

i've googled my head off - and its past 1 am and am knacked.

so please although its doubtful this post should even be under this title please help me out.

anything a bit crazy considered. no shell suits or tracks suits considered

hes kinda average size.

ta v much

DS1 rented his - black suit & shirt, white tie. No rentals down there?

"he's 16 and stupid"

there are rentals but he doesn't want your average suit. he wants something with an edge

please
please

have you tried the charity shops? Esp in the more affluent parts of town.

Don't know where in the country you are, but have had good results with vintage clothes from:
Canterbury:
'Revivals' and the Indoor Market
Oxford:
Weird retro clothes shop on Ship St
Charity shops in Summertown & Cowley Rd
London:
Somewhere in Hampstead that sold second-hand designer stuff but I can't remember where
Hampstead charity shops
Kensington Market
Camden Market

TopMan, River Island and Burton are all working a slightly mod look at the moment, and the jackets are only about £60 - H&M is worth a look too.
To be honest buying a cheap cheap High St suit that's cut sharply is probably your best bet - it's only fat old men (like DH ) who need pure wool and expensive tailoring to hide their beer bellies. And a black or self-colour shirt.

TopMan have great hats if the 50 Cent thing comes off.

good luck!

how about a suit jacket and trousers with a vintage tee shirt underneath iunstead of a shirt?

if u r manchester there is afflecks palace and teh collessium to look n for vintage clothes. not sure on prices to be honest.

thanks all,

i am going up to manchester in april - so its a thought
