Dh doesn't wear for work , went to funeral today and he wore old suit ,looked very dated .
He needs a good suit for occasions like weddings/funerals/graduations.

Last time he bought a suit was from a tailor about 25 yrs ago...we can't afford that now but he wants a good quality one.

Where does you dh buy his from?

Nearly 14 years ago when DH and I were about to get married he bought a suit from Paul Smith. It still looks good and not out of fashion today.

Not cheap, but overall a good investment. It's worth checking out the sale though.

Another vote for Paul Smith. Beautiful, quality fabrics & fab customer service.

House of Fraser stock Paul Smith, you might be able to get items sent up from London to collect in store.

There is also Austin Reed, less funky, but you might be able to get a good quality item very reasonably in the sale, and Jaeger, ditto.

Have to confess though, DH very rarely wears suits.

DH gets his suits from Reiss. Not too expensive, well cut for his shape (broad shouldered with slimmer hips), modern but not overly so and good customer service.

Hammond & Co at Debenhams. By Patrick Grant of Saville Row and Sewing Bee fame ... excellent quality, reasonable price.

DH bought his suit for our wedding from River Island. Its a really nice fit and he's a funny shape.
