Can't find beige suit or waistcoat/trousers anywhere!

stevethefirst, 22 September, 2014 at 21:22 Posted on Planning 0 12

Hi

I am getting married abroad in a few weeks and as its abroad we thought I (groom) would wear a beige suit. Ideally a beige linen wasitcoat and trousers, but cotton or wool is fine.

BUT... no where sells/hires them at the moment! I started looking about 6 weeks ago, and every shop and website says sold out, "its end of summer". I never thought they would sell out and no stock available.

Anyone know of anywhere that still sells/hires beige coloured suits?

Thanks

    If we cant find a waistcoat and trousers, then this suit will be fine... but the problem is those sites/retailers that do have them in stock dont have my sizes in stock. You'll see lots of sizes out of stock when you find them online. They are end of line. Thats my problem! And I need to get one for the best man, but thats not so important as mine. I am 44R or 44L Jacket/Wasitcoat and 36L trousers. But they're usually out of those I find.

    They don't have the sizes. I did order this one from Next http://www.next.co.uk/x54380s8#694596G81 but it was no good, the skinny fit trousers dont look very good on me! And the waistcoat has a shiny back so meant to be worn under a jacket not really on its own, but it was a black back anyway.

    I appreciate the help!

    I actually had some suits made using www.suitopia.co.uk (although based in Sweden which is why I chose them, the clothes are made in Vietnam), costing £154 each for wasitcoat and trousers. I chose a Beige colour, which clearly shows a beige colour http://www.suitopia.co.uk/en/suit/design/11301/, but when they arrived they were WHITE. Suitopia bizarrely state I have the correct colour (the colour i have is the colour of the mans shirt in that image), but clearly I don't as I ordered a beige colour. There is also poor quality in a couple of places. I think I am now going to struggle to get my money back. So this has put me off bespoke tailors online.

    Your right... there is hardly anything... have been googling...

    maybe try one of the outlet style shops if you have one near you?

    Http://tailored.asuitthatfits.com/wedding-abby/?adtype=ppc&campaignid=57&gclid=CM3l_qen98ACFdMbtAodkyQAUw

    this website is a bespoke suit place but in the UK that you go and see.. so maybe more trustworthy than online ones?

    @Rebeccafcr I've tried McArthur Glen in Bridgend, nothing there. Thanks gor Googling! I think a suit that fits might be a suitable last option if they are UK. I have more trust in dealing with a person that has a location, than by email somewhere I cant visit!

    Problem soved!

    For some reason it did not occur to me to search for local wedding hire companies. I have just gone to the high street shops like Moss Bros and M&S. Its like I didnt even know there were smaller wedding hire stores. The smaller local shops dont have online catalogues so their suits wont appear in google searches. Did a quick search in Newport online and emailed the first shop I found who rang me back saying they have a mohair suit in beige, and it looks lovely, so I have hired that. The cost is much less to buy also.

    The bespoke suit maker did not respond to my Paypal claim about it being the wrong colour so Paypal will refund my money on that!

    So thankfully a good outcome!

    Thanks for all your help.
