Yes its that time of year that i need to invest in a Dinner Suit, mainly for DJing at corporate events but also for puking on at my work Xmas party.

Anyone got any ideas ? It will get alot of use when im DJing and so doesnt need to be top quality as i am usuall hid behind the decks.

Moss Bros used to do some 'package deals' - suit, shirt, tie etc all in.

If you can put up with, try Oxfam or Age Concern.

Giving the black tie doos i go to, and know how they end up, i dont want to spend a fortune on one, if its going to get trashed pretty easy.

Had 2 now, £20 in total, and they hadnt been worn that much when i got them.

Cheap and cheerful, cant complain

Don't hire one, for God's sake. I bought mine ten years ago for my school leaver's ball and it's still going strong 80 quid from Ciro Citterio. Still looks very smart despite standing up to a bit of abuse...
