Hi guys

First time poster.
I'm due to get married in late June and would like to have a fully bespoke 3 piece suit made as well as a made to measure black tie (maybe dark blue velvet). Ideally for both suits i wouldn't want to spend more than £7-8K
I wear suits for work and would like to be able to wear the 3 piece for work as well as establish a relationship with a tailor for further suits in the future.

Complication - i'm a big chap - 6'3, 52" chest, a belly. I used to play rugby until me knee gave out so now i have an ex-rugby player build!

Who would you recommend for me on saville row?
I've seen good things about Cad and the Dandy and they have evidence of helping larger guys. They also seem quite approachable. Other suggestions welcome though.
