I've decided to get a few more suits for work,

Where does everyone go? Slaters?

Looking to get three suits, perhaps around £300-400 each?

Cheers

However yes Slaters is where I get mine, got a ted baker suit for £120 which was sweet :)

Jeuss that sounds like a good deal,

I usually goto Next, but thought I'd go for a designer suit or two
 
£300-£400

I'd go to Austin Reed of that.

It depends what you want the suit for. If you want something that looks cool and modern then Ted Bakers are cool, but if you want something classic (traditional) then try Austin Reed or even M&S (the fabric might not be up to Saville Row standards, but the cuts are pretty good).

I like'd a couple of the Austin Read website, the Ted Baker site is down at the moment, might check out House of Faser in town as I think they do Ted Baker suits?

You'll get Ted Bakers almost everywhere. Moss Bros do them.

Look in Autin Reed, the range is much bigger then what's on line.

With TBs you only get one pair of trousers with each suit. Which means if you are wearing them all the time the jacket is useless as soon as the trousers go. If you go to AR you can get additional pairs of trousers, lessening the wear that each pair goes though.

They hire a suite in a hotel over here, take all your measurements, then send them back to Hong Kong to have the suit made. Its then shipped over here.

I generally get a couple of suits and half a dozen shirts made up, plus extra trousers, for around the same cost as a single hand made suit from saville row....
 
I'm off to Marks and Spencers this weekend to pick up a new suit. They usually have some very nice suits in there and I don't end up paying over the odds. The last suit I bought was from Ciro Citterio (sp?) and has fellen to pieces on me so need a couple of new ones now.

The Autograph range is pretty good.

Yeah I've seen this guy's advertisements in the FT, I take it the suits are well made, he's in Bristol on the 26th - 28th this month so i could pop a long. I might get one as a trial?

Really well made. Im no expert, but I cant fault the workmanship.

They keep all your details on file as well, so provided you havent porked out they can make you new shirts/jackets/trousers on demand.
