Hi I am having trouble finding anything to fit them, they both need a suit for interviews plus we have a wedding to go to on the 18th April. I could try Amazon but if they don`t fit its a pain sending back. They are tall, over 6ft but problem is they only need a 28/30 waist. Can you help please?

Topman ? Suits for about £99 and a slim fit option

My DB got one from river island in slim fit but I would imagine they would be a similar price to topman.

Look at M*S - there were some offers on men's suits. I just brought a suit for my 16 year old for 55

I got ds's teenage suit from Next, they've got a good selection of waist sizes and lengths.

Next have a great selection in slim/skinny fit and some are machine machineable. DS got one for £99 and it has washed great.

Matalan

We found M&S best as you but jacket seperate from trousers. Ds is 6ft but 38 inch chest so needs long jacket which are not easy to find. Next do that size but only limited choice.

When my ds needed one (for Prom and a wedding) I got his from Matalan - this was 2 yrs ago, but only £35 for the suit. Very glad I was too, that I hadn't paid much, as he'd grown again within 2 months of me buying it, and only got those 2 wears out of it.

Primark also did a suit for £28.Again they did a long size in a 38 and troysers and jacket bought seperately so you can mix and match sizes.

Success:) First suit purchased in Tesco for total of £50, the jacket was reduced by £16! Also bought two leather belts @£8 each, scanned at the till and came up £2 each!! Nothing in Primark except a shirt and tie for £7. Then onto Matalan and bought a lovely deep blue slim fit suit for £75...........a very successful day thanks to you all! Now I need a dress!
