  • Am at a summer wedding in a few weeks. Given my "summer wardrobe" contains predominantly t-shirts and sports shorts, I'm in need of a linen/linen blend suit. Where can I try on a reasonable range of styles that's affordable?

  • John Lewis and M&S.

    Assuming affordable means <£500.

    Otherwise if you know your size and have time, ebay plus a tailor. Mate did this with a nice dark cream one. I actually have a green linen and silk Jager suit I got from ebay which I'm looking to pass on. It's at my folks and I won't be able to get it for a week or so. But here is a shit picture in case you want me to take some proper ones.


    Hard to photo, but a sort of grey green that looks slightly different in different lights.

    I was going to get it altered and then covid hit, so the need for summer work suits disappeared, so I never got round to it and now I'm too fat.

    2 button, fairly classic / not too tailored, with some nice details.

    Size 50s - which I would put around 38"-40" with 34" wasit /32-34" leg trousers.

  • M&S always seems decent for being able to get a wide range of sizes - website seems to have a decent number of results for ‘linen suit’ - prices about £200.

    If that’s out of budget, perhaps try Asos? I got my wedding suit in the sale there for about £100 all in - can try a few things and return stuff that doesn’t work.

  • There are a few on Cos and Arket at the moment as well, worth a look.
