I was in Bluewater on Friday and went into the Reiss shop... now I like suits but have never seen the point in spending silly money (£200+) for one due to the infrequency of which I need to wear them but omg... the suits in this place were AMAZING, namely a light grey one which I tried on and I swear it made me look like sex (but then don't we all think that when wearing a sharp suit), it was this one http://www.reiss.co.uk/gb-en/catalogue/men/tailoring/5928-tuscan

I have a slim build and find it hard to find 36R suits that "hug" me... but this was like a glove! £365 is a lot of money for a suit (to me), but I think this may have been the first one i've ever seen which I could actually justify purchasing.

Anyone got a Reiss suit... or have any other particularly favoured brands which they think look the dogs nadgers? :)

Not a bad suit; nice lines but prefer a slightly smaller collar and two button fastening.

Have a few suits and my favourite is a Hugo Boss which is black but has a thin fine green pin stripe. Fits me like a glove and easy to wear all day. Prefer Italian styles with thin collars although i do have a Ted Baker one but not worn it yet.

Hmm never tried the Hugo Boss suits, they do look very sharp though. The Ted Baker Endurance ones look decent but I find that don't fit me that well... they're not geared towards slim shapes on the 36R's!

Maybe I just need to put some more meat on... working on it though. :p
 
I also keep seeing an amazing looking 3/4 length coat, in a light grey colour (not plain colour, but with a kind of tweed patterning on the material), that looks really nice and fitted... but can't find it in any shops! Must make a mental note to stop someone I see wearing it and ask them where they got it from. :)
 
Guys I found the most awesome suit site like... ever... yesterday. It's called A Suit That Fits http://www.asuitthatfits.com/shop/

Basically you can tailor and design your suit to your own specific requirements, form measurements to the exact design of the suit... materials, lining, pockets, buttons, collar, everything! Awesomely enough you can also specify if you want a slim-fit jacket and boot-cut trousers, good if you're a skinny **** like me!

I designed a fully tailored, great looking suit using the "Professional" option for £205, now that ain't bad, especially when you can make it as individual as you like. :)
