Navy Suit

Has anyone found a great, classic navy blue suit this season? I'm a size 14 and looking for one with a wide trouser and a nipped in jacket.

Have tried ones on in Hobbs (material is poor quality or too shiny), Austin Reed (jacket is too long), Jigsaw (material looks like it has cat hair all over it). Why is it so difficult?

Me+Em fitted blazer and wide leg trouser

Thanks, niminy. Haven't heard of this brand before but will check them out.

or Jaeger jacket, parallel leg trousers

I have ordered the Jaeger ensemble twice. The material is lovely, but I had to send both orders back as the colour was not identical :-( It is a shame because I really, really want this suit.
I ordered jacket, skirt and trousers from Austin Reed recently, the material is horrid, really floppy, although it has a higher % of wool in it than a similar suit I already own. The jacket is HUGE as are the trousers, so it will go back this weekend. Also the navy is too light.
Basler do nice, navy wool jackets and trousers in its mix and match or basics section, but quite expensive and the material is thin, but ok if you wear tights under the trousers.

I think I'll go into Jaegar and try the suit on at the weekend, hopefully the colours will match. Thanks for the suggestion.
