Saville row=2-3k for a suit, try king and Allen they do fixed-price bespoke for 300-400 and good service too.

Can get off the peg for as little as 600-800 quid.

I have never heard if Taipan row, but it sounds blooming fantastic. Where do these guys live? I have been looking for some place to get suits too.

I'll second this because my favourite suit is from there, even though it was pretty cheap. I couldn't get one that fitted though from the high street. I had to go to one of their big out of town shops.

Bespoke but a quarter of the price of sav row. I had a suit from them and overcoat earlier this year and getting measured for another next month. They start at £249 but I didn't like the materials at that price point. I ended up with a fully bespoke two piece for £450 from a cloth I really like.

I am only 5ft9 but very broad accross the chest and shoulders (welsh:p) so off the peg can be challenging for a good fit.

They do all the fittings including baste etc. in the UK and the suits go back and forth to HK in shipments everyweek, hence the lower than UK pricing.

I was very pleased with mine. Head office is a mile from my house but they do fittings elsewhere.
 
I have had a few bespoke suits made for me and while they are nice I still prefer my Hugo Boss suits. I just get them tailored.

You can pick up a good boss suit for around 400 quid in the sales and another 60quid to tailor it.

Hi chaps,

My current suits are wearing out so I'm in the market for a new one. I've been up and down the high street to see the usual suspects, Suits You, Moss Bros, even Austin Reed but as before they all have the same problem: I'm a 42" chest but a 32" waist. 42" chest suits always seem to come with 36" waist trousers, I can get them taken in but then the trousers end up really baggy and too wide, making me look short.

I don't think I can afford to get a suit tailored, though I have no idea on costs. Any smart ideas?

Did a dog lick your leg? So are you looking for a replacement?
