What Budget / Location for a (Relatively) Decent Suit?

    I'm looking to get a two-piece suit that would serve for both weddings and interviews. It wouldn't be worn on a daily basis and, as I'd only be an attendee at the weddings, it wouldn't need to be overly fashionable or a three-piece.

    What sort of budget would get me a decent suit and indeed where (in Dublin)? I'm thinking of allocating up to the €350 mark (maybe more at a stretch). Would I get something decent? I've relatively little knowledge in this area as my formal wear hasn't mostly stretched beyond €20 Dunnes Stores slacks. I'm not expecting top-brand here but hopefully it wouldn't be too shabby.

    Add in £20 for delivery and you're done!
    This guy makes seriously great suits.
    The cut is quite traditional but with a moder twist.

    Beige though is hard to wear for some men.

    Go out to Kildare Village. At your price point, the suits in the Hackett outlet are great. These suits retail well up into the higher €000s. Very nice fabrics(Loro Piana fabrics best) and I love their fit. You'll come away a very happy fellow - with change and perhaps a couple of sharp shirts and ties....

    Louis Copeland sales will be above your price point but you'll have a suit for years.

    Also if you go to Kildare Village, there is a second shop there along with Hackett that you can check out.
