Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Mens 3 Piece Suit. Advice needed.

31-10-2012 12:24pm#1Hi all,
Maybe this thread might have been better in the Gentleman's Forum?
I'm at an age where I am thinking of investing in a good suit. I have two "regular" suits, a charcoal grey one, and a black one. They are fine for formal occasions, but they wouldn't exactly look dapper etc. Now I did get them "tweaked" in the shop so they fit ok. These suits weren't that expensive, a few hundred quid in sales from what I remember. I would often wear them for work, (they are those types of suits)
I am thinking of getting a 3 piece suit. One that would be cool to wear at other times, not just at weddings (or funerals!). Now I'm not loaded, so won't be spending thousands on one, but am aware that if you get a good suit, it will last you for a long time. I am not sure if it would be better to buy one in a shop in Ireland or try and get one online with my measurements.
Think Nick Cave.
. I'm not as thin as him, but I'm not overweight either. Just normal, 6ft plus. I think 3 piece suits look great.
What would the differences be between a tailored suit as opposed to another type of suit?0

I was going to get a three piece suit once, but when I put on the waist coat I just felt like a snooker player!
A tailored suit, you mean bespoke? That means its been built from scratch for your measurements, rather than off the rack and altered. You choose the cloth, the cut, the lining, etc. It costs a lot of money.0 -
