    I would appreciate it if anyone could let me know of any deals around Dublin for a decent suit.

    Preferably somewhere that I can get two trousers with a jacket. History has show that the jacket lasts much longer than the trousers to my intermittent embarrassment.

    Thanks in advance

    M&S do cheapo suits, I got one, I think it had fake outside pockets but looked reasonable. I think they sold matching trousers which sold separately. Reminds me I need new trousers due to all the cheap chocolate listed in bargain alerts :pac:

    Diffney have a sale on (in Blanchardstown centre, not sure of others).

    Picked up a nice business suit for 130. Real pockets etc. Decent quality. Not sure about the extra trousers.

    Thanks for the tips, I went to M&S and picked up a grand suit for 200. All grand

    Are you sure you just didnt undo the pocket stitching of the pockets rubadub? Most suit jackets usually come with the pockets sealed

    Hope it lasts. Cheap suits can be a false economy. Best thing is find a suit you like, get fitted, get the measurements, then buy the exact same on eBay and get the legs taken up if needed.

    I'll have a look later , it didn't feel like there was any material behind it.

    I would get a decent one if it was regular use, I have only worn mine to 3 weddings and thats it! my brother has offered to borrow his €800 suit but I would spend all night worrying about spilling stuff on it!

    If you're looking for a good suit that is reasonably priced (like it'd be more than M&S for sure, but 100x better quality). I recommend Men's Suit & Tux Warehouse on South Anne’s Lane or mstw.ie
