I was discussing this the other evening with someone. I came to the realisation that it's not the suit I don't like, it's the formality of a shirt and tie. Suits, it turns out, I actually don't mind. Mark

Suit + shirt but no tie can work very well under certain circumstances  .

I’d agree with the formality of shirt and tie. Last time I wore one was for my first round of job interviews after leaving school. Never worn one since. I’ve usually found things that dodge the “rules”. Never, ever been invited to or been to anything that has dress codes like “black tie” etc..

+1 to that as well - one of my first suits came from Slaters in Glasgow. Didn't quite fit, so they adjusted the sleeves for free.

My suit came from Tesco. Only worn it twice. I think it was about £30 - yes, they do a "value" range  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

If the man wearing the suit is a "normal" size and shaped person, then an off-the-Rack suit will be fine. Otherwise look for places that have a wide variety of styles and shapes and also does alterations so you can get one that fits right.
+1 for slaters

Also look at places that allow mix and match jackets with trousers. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Asda for the really cheap (but still okay). M&S for reasonably priced.

Yup, if it is a funeral suit. ADSA. If it is going to get some wear, M&S. M&S do several ranges all pretty good.  _________________A Mac user

I actually got my suit from my local men's outfitters. Fairly traditional and boring, but decent quality. As I only ever wear it for funerals and the odd wedding that doesn't require a morning suit it's perfect.
