Hi
Not really a suit kind of person but need one, probs will only use it once or twice so dont want to spend money on it.
Of the places where you can buy cheap suits (tesco, george, primark, etc), which one delivers an acceptable/least crap suit?
Cheers,
Nathan
How cheap do you want to look? If you are only using it a couple of times, the implication is that you want/need to look smart. If you need it for fancy dress, Asda. Smart for a reason? Go to M&S.
Charity shop?
Where are you based?
Consider somewhere like Downtown, Grantham or [url= http://www.mcarthurglen.com/ ]McArthur Glen[/url]. I go my last work suit from Downtown in January. £500+ suit for £110. It looks fine and, my colleagues tell me, that it'll be back in fashion again soon.

Have you thought about Oxfam or somewhere. Seriously. Especially the Oxfam vintage shops in the bigger cities. My mate managed to pick up a really classically tailored suit for what he'd have paid for some piece of dishcloth.
Or look in the big department stores and see what they've got in the sales. I recently picked up a really nice Hardy Amies shirt to wear for an interview. They had them all reduced from £110 to £35 in Kendals in the sale. Have a look around
probs will only use it once or twice
Is it for a court appearance?
Even if you plead guilty you'll probably need it three times at least.
I'd say M&S. £80 a suit when I looked before and they look fine.
Oxfam
There's a place in Manchester, Slaters I think it's called, up near Picadilly Gardens (I think). Good quality and cheap. Have you guys got Zara?
Reasonable looking suits for not much Peseta! Sales anywhere? One of those retail villages or whatever they're called, I got an Yves St Laurent for just about half price several years ago from Ellesmere Port Retail Village/Park/Centre.
Have you considered grave robbing? Just a thought...
Vietnam?
