For want of a better section to put this in.
I've recently refreshed my suit selection and picked up a new Tux in greenwoods for next to nothing but they 1 thing didn't have was any bags and haven't had any for a while apparently.
Any recommendations?
Don't travel much with them, just want some decent covers to protect the suits while stored.

Most dry cleaning shops carry a range of suit/coat covers.
Amazon can also be a good source.
If you buy on line, I would recommend buying just one or two at first. Quality and price vary widely.
All my suits/jackets/coats are bagged, but trying to remember which is which without unzipping the cover can be a real pain.
I have found that the little plastic windows often become unattached, and now tend to rely more upon putting them back in the same order when returning them to the wardrobes than buying covers with windows (almost unavoidable).

If you have a French connection or Ted Baker store near you go in and just ask for one - I’ve had quite a bit of success at this
The FC ones are just a zipped breathable vinyl but fine for wardrobe storage. TB ones are a heavy canvas with metal zips and great for travel as well as storage

Sound advice above. It's not a Tuxedo, it's a dinner suit.
It’s more than likely to be a tuxedo if it’s off the peg. There is a difference and unless you buy from very discerning places you will get a tux. OP if you really must store your outfit in a bag then only use a cotton breathable suit cover and make sure you a sturdy wooden suit hanger with proper should shaping. Unless you are going to store a suit not in a wardrobe I really wouldn’t recommend covering it.
