    Agent Smith didn't post that, I did, and personally I'm positively suicidal over your massively off-topic comments. Where's my belt, damn can only get a 34" one...

    Black Tie Tuxes seem to be through the mill though, its where I normally rent from and tbh I've very thankful to hand them back when finished. More often then not only tacked together. Then again they might sell me a new one?

    Aye boston, they can sell you a brand new one, or an ex-rental.


    the range they have for sale is Quite nice.


    On the same Topic. i'm looking to pick up 2 suits for in and around the 150 mark, each.

    now we all know home much men hate to shop, so i need the Following

    Jacket: 50L
    Trousers 44 Waist 33 leg
    Waistcoat (would be nice, not needed tho)
    Shirt: 18 Coller


    Go people, Find me suits!

    for me, m&s and debenhams are probably the best. the one thing that wrecks my head is xxl tops/shirts that are 'slim' fitting i mean wtf why would i buy that size for it to hug my curves? are they not really only for weightlifters?
    going back to a point raised earlier about zara i remember shopping in zara and springfield in spain and they had lots of the larger sizes whereas the same shops in ireland stopped at either 34/36 waist jeans, couldn't understand that at all especially galling as i got the nicest pair of jeans ever in springfield in barcelona. :(

    So where exactly did i say agent smith wrote that? Massively off topic?Sweet jesus read your posts, your the one ranting about how such and such a shop only caters for "starving people, who are stunted".:rolleyes:

    You quoted his post and said " If your gonna go off on rubbish like this". I don't read my own posts, i thought that was obvious.

    dereko1969: Thats something I've found even between the same chain stores in ireland.

    A bit far from Dublin (though not after Aug 2 when the new road opens), but Portadown just outside Newry. They have a Next Clearance store. A mate of mine just got really impressive jackets for £9 the other day (down from £70). Shirts are £3.. cant beat that.

    Burtons you say, that name sounds familiar. I was actually waiting on a five week pay cheque to come in,(did on friday) before I seriously went looking.

    boston, have a look in house of fraser in dundrum, they have a big sale on at the moment and a lot of the more unusual small and large sizes are left with 'further reductions'. They have the likes of daks, strellson, own brands suits etc at 20/30/50% off. They also have some tuxes by some english tailoring brand too, they are half off but were pretty steep to begin with at about 7-800. M&S also have a sale on at the moment, but not as many items in the sale. However they hav various suits for <200 in the sale, again in the large and small sizes only.

    It must be rose coloured glasses, whenever I go shopping it is the shorter legs and standard sizes that aren't left, especially in the sales..

    I'm fairly tall and have problems finding long enough clothing, but I've recently found Shaws (http://www.shaws.ie/mens/index.asp) and get plenty of stuff there. Good prices when the sales are on.
