Suit recommendations
Discussion
I have a 40th Birthday party to attend in a private club in Soho and I would like to cut a dash, so to speak.
So I would like a sharp suit that would look good at the do and will also be apt for the odd wedding and christening etc.
I only have one suit at the mo' which I have had for probably 8 years and although nice and Italian, it does make me look too "grown up".
I would imagine that the majority of the blokes at the party would be in smart casual but I just wanted to make an impression on the ladeez.
Recommendations good people of PH, cheers and also ideas on shirt/t-shirt, tie or no tie, type of shoes.
Trying to restrict myself to a budget of £300 ono.

I've got 3 and they are very well made.
They also have a sale on! I have a 'Bank', 'Barbican' and another one I can't remember.
They are super quality and excellent fit. Recommend them highly.

Harvie & Hudson on Jermyn St. 250-odd and they are the best suits I've ever had. I have 4.
I've just had a look at their site and it appears they only do shirts. I might head up to that district anyway to see what's on offer, cheers.Edited by 8Ace on Tuesday 17th March 09:02

Looks good and some bargains but bit worried that mail order won't be in time and the size might not be right. See they have a stockist in Ealing but don't fancy schlepping over there.I've got 3 and they are very well made.

IF you're slim build, then a Paul Smith suit looks amazing.
Started to lose the slim build in my early 40s, although I'm still slim in my mind. It's just a shock when I see a mirror tho'.

Just had a peek at the Paul Smith site but bit beyond my budget
They have flip flops at £90.Have decided to go for my old Italian Suit Jacket with a new black T-shirt and new jeans with smart shoes. Cost £45.
