    Recommendation please - Good UK 'off the peg' suit shops

    Thanks for the response Murlsquirl, suspected that would be the case. So in theory you would say that Suit Supply is the next level up from TM Lewin? There's no other shops that sit in between? Then for my non work suits I'm probably willing to look at a higher budget, maybe around £600 odd...

    Made-to-measure suit not as requested (cuff buttons) - What to do?

    Yes I absolutely stated what I wanted clearly, I discussed at length my feeling that without an overlap 5 buttons would look like too many, which is exactly what has happened. I always felt it was possible to having kissing/overlapping working buttons, it was simply a case that their tailor...

    Made-to-measure suit not as requested (cuff buttons) - What to do?

    Hi All, I am looking for some opinions as I recently had a made-to-measure suit made and some aspects of the suit aren’t as I had requested. During the second fitting I noticed that the cuff buttons were not as requested. I had asked for five overlapping buttons, and at the time I discussed...

    Opinions on fit of made-to-measure suit

    Thanks for the responses so far, I am going for a second fitting this afternoon so need to identify any alterations I want them to make. I assume button stance and arm holes isn't something they can easily alter?... As far sleeve and trouser length I'm sure I can easily request that. I noticed...

    Hi All, Firstly thanks for all the replies, I appreciate all the feedback. Secondly to clarify I wasn't intending to go for the bright stitching around a button hole as I have never been a fan, I was simply intruiged by opinions on it. The replies made it very clear that it's throwned upon...

    Good inexpensive made to measure suits

    TBH the experience I have had of getting suits altered in the past was not very good, had a couple of suits I got altered and I got charged more than I would of like (around £300) and wasn't too pleased with the results. Can anyone recommend any good tailors for getting inexpensive alterations...

    Good inexpensive made to measure suits

    Hi All, I'm posting this thread as I was hoping to get some advice on good made to measure suits. I love suits and formal clothing but to be honest it's something I have really invested in previously, the only made to measure suit I have is one from Sam's Tailor. Anyway I have decided that I...

I have several Autograph M&S suits from their Timothy Everest range which I find to be quite a good basic work suit for around £200 but I was hoping to get something with a better name than...
