    Hi guys,

    Any suggestions as to where we can get tailor made suits for wedding in 2nd week july...I know cutting it so close.

    Our budget is less than 250. Other ideas was going to M&S & Next and getting fitted.

    Ideal suits is Navy in colour that some of us can wear to work.

    Cheers

    You will not get a tailored suit made for €250. It simply wont happen. My wedding suit was made for me and it cost €1700 (in fairness it was a tuxedo, so bit of a difference anyway). Is that your budget for the whole rig- ie suit + shirt + tie + shoes?

    With that budget you should be able to go into a highstreet store and buy off the rack, make sure to bring it to a decent alterations place/tailor to get small adjustments made. If I were you I'd budget 50-70 for small adjustments to make it fit perfectly. I would recommend 3 piece suits as they stay looking super smart even when jackets come off, and they're a bit more 'festive' for the wedding party than 2 piece.

    Have a look at Burtons, they have some decent suits and I've found their clothes to be very good quality. At the moment, they have a deal whereby you get a free pair of shoes with certain suits. This one is nice, 3 piece navy slim fit for less than €200, which is a very good price.

    Marks' do have some nice suits in at the moment like this one (linen blend, good for summer) and this one. Usually they have a service you canget minor adjustments made instore (although they will charge for this service, - it's just a sales assitant that pins and then they send it to a local alterations place anyway, so might as well just go straight there yourself, you'll get a better fit).

    By tailored do you mean made from scratch?

    In the famous project management quote, Quality/price/speed pick two.......you will struggle to get tailored suits for that price regardless of the time pressure. You would be better going to marks and spencer or somewhere where they sell them as separates. Or a menswear shop that will alter suits for free with purchase. I would give up on the getting tailored made suits tbh

    M&S will be fine.

    Jazz them up with a more expensive shirt and tie.

    Find a decent tailor who can alter them if needs be.
