Nothing bores me more than clothes,

Anyway, I need to purchase two suits for my wedding, 1x 3pc and 1 normal suit.

Anyone able to suggest me a place that will be able to cater the following.

Zero Fuss.
Below £300 each.
Be able to be reused in business work etc etc.

I am in Sheffield, there is a slaters not too far away, but anyone able to suggest anywhere else??

If you don't mind a bit of a drive York Designer Outlet is good. Plenty of choice and different designers for choice of cuts/size/style etc.

Ha, I read that as if it was a brand name for cheap simple clothing...

(BTW if that now appears on the High Street I want royalties!)

Excuse me, but are you retarded??, i think there is a retail complex called Meadowhall in the vicinity, catch a tram, go to Meadowhall and assert your gender.

Seconded, I got a full tux for £150 there, can't remember which shop, but was at the outlet!

They also usually have a Lamborghini or similar there to drool at to advertise the track days... with the money you save on the suit...

That place is defined as hassle, I really don't want to traipse around numerous shops in there.

Got 2 suits from Moss last year, a Daniel Hechter and the other a Cerruti. Was very happy with the quality and service I got. That said I don't ware them daily so couldn't comment on durability.

Definately worth paying the little bit extra they ask to have the trousers semi-taylored.

I usually get mine from Next. Around £150 for a jacket and trousers, £200 for a 3-piece. Can't grumble really.

I've used Suitopia a couple of times in the past, you can have a tailor made suit for well within your budget.

You enter your measurements online (following the guide they give you), choose styles and fabrics and a couple of weeks later, a tailor made suit comes by courier from the far east.

No hassle whatsoever and a tailor made suit always looks better than an off-the-peg one.

Another shout for M&S from me. I've got one suit from Next and its crap to be honest, don't think I paid over the odds for it to be fair though.

Op,

What a silly question. What went through your mind before you posted this?

OP's mind said:
Hmm, I need to buy a suit. What should I do
a - Go to a shop and ask someone there for a suit, pay the man, come home
b - Ask an internet motorists forum, and see what they say"
That said, sounds like Slaters menswear would fit the bil for you. No fuss, reasonable quality, and loads to choose from.

I've had a couple of very good suits from M&S for about £100, for the price I think they would be hard to beat, they also seem to fit my figure well compared to other off the peg suits I've looked at.
