I'm rather proud of how helpful and civilised this thread has been.

That's because people from Oxfordshire are a good sort.

So, for those who visited over the weekend, what's the selection like in RL? It seems they have a lot of pinstriped suits from what people have said (which is good for me, as this is the one I'm interested in getting), but what are the chances of getting it in a 36?

Florida has nothing as far as suits go. Especially if you are looking for a 36.

Probably nothing great in OP's price range, but if youre willing to spend more, there's Maus & Hoffman, and the RL on Worth Ave. Brooks brothers too. The Saks 5a in the areas are also pretty good about hosting trunk shows from Canali to Kiton

Well, as well as the valid points others have made, it's partly this:

Bicester, as you've seen, is something of a zoo at times by contrast! Still fun, though a very different sort of fun.

Well, we like to pretend to be, anyway.
