    One of the Mangas shops is only 5 minutes walk from work, so I'll have a look there.

    Also a Thomas Pink nearby. Looking at the website, I'm not sure if they do custom fitting, or just a wide range of off the peg sizes.

      Apparently top class suits for as little as £200???

      Found it, the name of the geezer is Raja Daswani, owner of Raja Fashions.

        From what I know of Thomas Pink they just do a wide range of size's, when working in the City I got all my shirts there.

        Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!

        I couldn't imagine you ever having a hair out of place!

            Yeah but that does mean you will get a few more weeks wear out of that ASDA suit

              Went shirt shopping at lunch. Tried Thomas Pink first & the shirt style I thought would be closest to my desired one didn't fit right - Too big round the body (shirt, not me) & arms not long enough.

              Popped over to Mangas (seemed a dodgy name for a business, but realised they're Spanish - translates to Sleeves!) & got measured up. We'll see the results in 3 weeks.

                  And having just done a search for comments I won't be going along to see him!

                  The majority gave a pretty bad impression of the service & quality of suits.

                  Back to Saville Row then

                      Thanks
                      I had a search on Google & found the following:

                      Here

                      Here

                      Here

                      Here

                      Here

                      Now, I guess people are more likely post things to complain than praise. Also, their are several newspaper articles, etc which show Raja in a good light. However, if a journo was coming to do a piece on my services, I'd push the boat out.

                      Weighing it up, I'll give Raja a miss this time & stick with my English tailor.
