Its working out spiffing, old bean.

I use these guys:

Not quite an old Savile Row firm but very competent all the same.
Plus they'll come and see you. You get 3 fittings and a perfect suit.

Thanks for the tip, but they only visit in the SE. I am in the Midlands

Ok maybe not, but it did when I went to Paul Smith HQ in Lace Market a couple of years ago and I was laughed out of the shop because I wasn't built of lolly pop sticks

Try this

Birmingham is the place to go in the Midlands for this kind of schmutter...

Or these chaps...

Or even Gieves and Hawkes

Hmmmm, the fact that they try to lure you in with a £150 price tag and on-line measuring kind of puts me off. Thanks though

Thanks TW but I think that the PotNoodle attiitude doesn't run to being best man at my brothers wedding

Brilliant though

... So I want the killer suit. English or American style and I am not averse to 3 piece.

Suggestions

If you buy one by mail order, be sure not to click on "3 piece suite".

I have bought suits from King & Allen in the past, never had a problem, excellent service.

My brother is getting married. I am his best man.

The dress code is light grey suit, white shirt open collar.

Suggestions

Get yourself down to saville row.

You will of course want it made from this: http://www.hollandandsherry.com/apparel/signature.aspx

If that is a bit too expensive, there are places that will do a made to measure (not quite the same as fully bespoke, but it will still fit better than any off the peg job) suit with your choice of detailing for £5-600. I can recommend Roderick Charles on Jermyn Street (also one by liverpool st I think) and Mangas (best google it, they were up by london wall I think)
