Suits

Sarah Hennessy, 14 October, 2014 at 16:01 Posted on Planning 0 4

Hi Everyone

Hope you can help! We’re just starting to look into suits and could do with some recommendations / advice.

My H2B would like a made to measure suit for himself and hire suits for the two groomsmen and the two dads. (Ideally we would like made to measure for the whole groom party, but can’t afford it).

Does anyone know of a supplier, has to be in London, who can do both – a lot of them are made to measure only or hire only.

We were considering Moss Bros as they do everything and are a reasonable price. However I’ve been reading some horror stories about them – does anyone one have any experience with them?

Thanks everyone,

Sarah

    Are you wanting tails? If not then most hire places have very limited 'normal' suits and the ones I have seen have been very dated and 'boxy' and are usually very dark coloured so they don't show stains and things. Either way I certainly wouldn't go with moss bros. The suits fit terribly and are poor quality, I'd go for an independent place.

    My H2B got a made to measure suit in the sale at T.M. Lewin for £200, about half price.

    Burtons for us! My brother had them so we are going off a recommendation. They only had only issue, which turned out not to actually be an issue, which was they had the wrong Jacket size for the best man and they didn't check until half an hour before they had to leave. In the end, they sent one extra but the wrong one was on the top so they just picked up two, then panicked!

    Also, give yourself plenty of time to return them if you are hiring (not the next day like he did.....)

    Hi Marc,

    Yes I've looked at your page. What is the average price of your made to measure suits?
