Where to buy decent quality suits under 500 in London?

Posted by 0992daddystovepipe@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 14 comments

Hi everyone,

I’m moving to England in a couple of months for professional school. I’m looking to buy a couple of solid suits. I love British tailoring (drape cut, straight lines, etc) so I’m looking forward to shopping around. I’m from Canada so the slim fit look is the norm here which I’m not a huge fan of.

Can you please recommend stores that would be good to visit and and find suits under/around £500. I have an athletic build which makes off-the-rack difficult with the slim “Italian cut” jackets. So I’ve recently gone MTM but I’m aware that they are much more expensive. I’m happy to try out off-the-rack and get them tailored.

Thanks in advance!

M&S - great range of suits of various styles, materials, sizes and price levels, all of which are great quality

Moss is very much just slim fit. John Lewis does a good suit.

Also, there are tailors up in Golders Green which will do alterations for £100 and make a rack suit from M&S look way better
