They're doing some quite snappy suits in Next for around £130
Some are a pretty good cut and fit for a cheap suit too
(ooh, and make sure the cashire give you a proper suit holdor...not a naff platic bag one, they may fob you off, but they do have them
)

a good fit depends on the individual. are they shaped around overweight salesman on a budget, or buff builders with cash to splash?

Go to House of Fraiser when they have a sale on - you can pick up a very smart one for about £200 or less.
I always think its silly to spend £130 on a ok one, when if youre spending that much you may as well spend a little extra and get something really nice!

They're more suited to a short **** with a mild beer belly
The Jeff Banks stuff at Debenhams isn't bad, but more money, fit isn't any better, and they do have Grayham Norton coloured silk linings.
Seeing me in a suit is as common as the second comming. Although a collegue deviously snapped me in one a few weeks back at w*rk leaving me open to public ridicule
