Unisol   12 #3 Posted March 8, 2005 Maybe £300/£400?  I've done weights for years and am quite broad.  In more of an athletic way than like a bodybuilder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I have one and it's really good quality. You would have to travel to Manchester however and get it at the DKNY store on King Street or Paul Smith at Selfridges / Harvey Nichs. I've also got two Armani Collezioni suits and although they're a bit more expensive they are beautifully tailored. Just get the best you can afford, there's nothing worse in business than a cheap suit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Unisol   12 #5 Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks.  Don't really have time to go to Manchester as i need one quite urgently!  What about Ecclesall Rd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not sure what it's called though - I believe it's near the Aga shop. It's only an hour to Manchester - and remember you'll want to keep the suit a long time.....

1Man&hisBMW Â Â 10 #8 Posted March 8, 2005 I would recommend the Hugo Boss shop in Meadowhall if you are after a suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
laalaa   10 #9 Posted March 8, 2005 I'm pretty sure Limeys in the city centre (Chapel Walk) sells designer suits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

GHS1961   10 #11 Posted March 8, 2005 Appreciate that you are in a hurry so this option isn't open to you this time but consider getting a suit made for you next time.  Try Barney Goodman on Ecclesall Road, proper tailors who will make something that fits your broad frame, uses wonderful materials and will last a very long time.  The cost ? - you can get a quality piece of cloth for £400. A bargain in my opinion for something hand made and unique to you.  No connection with BG just been a very happy customer for the last ten years.

There is also the Hugo Boss shop next to HOF, they do a nice suit, but a bit "older" in style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
