Also sleeves are too long, you want to show a bit of shirt cuff. I reckon size down

Yeah feels good, just not sure on the structured shoulders/smarter vibe on the SuitSupply.
Will see how the size down on the Drake's one fits, measurements of that seem really similar to the SuitSupply one on this page, so hope it'll work out.
If anyone has a link there, pls give me a DM!

You never really do the button up either and I doesn’t pull across the chest so you’re all good
The combo of the striped shirt, pattern tie and then shows is proper geography teacher vibes. I would do black shoes and a white shirt with a plain colour tie Jacket fits well
A buttoned suit when standing cuts a cleaner silhouette. Just make sure you unbutton before sitting down.

Tbh no idea what brands I should be looking at, usually budget about £400 but looking to go up a level to around £900 per suit. Looking for a navy and a grey. Going back to the office a couple days a week, any good Black Friday deals on some nice suits?
TBH If your budget is £400 then just go suitsupply
I might be facing a similar dilemma, due to get married on 6th August, trying desperately to postpone it but the venue aren't letting us at the moment.
I was going to go to Cad & The Dandy in April to get a bespoke suit made but obviously I cant go at the moment and as they take up to 12 weeks to make, I have no chance of getting it sorted.
Hopefully I can postpone the wedding and all will be good. If not I guess I will be looking for an alternative, something off the shelf and tailored to fit I guess. Having not thought of that option before I dont have a clue where to start!

Feel your pain mate! Will keep my fingers crossed for you.
If you find any good options, drop them in here. Will do the same.
Thanks for the feedback on the Drake's suit lads.
I've asked them to send me a 36 to see if that'll work better.
Also just got a SuitSupply one delivered.
I don't know tailoring so thought I would try something at around £450 too.
Can instantly tell the difference in fabric/construction.
Shorter sleeves and tighter shoulders look better though?


Also does dark brown shoes with a grey suit look shite? Thought it'd go better in my head.

That jacket looks like it fits perfectly in the first pic. Do you have still have good movement and feel comfortable in it?

Just not sure if I'll be able to get there, so will take 30% for now. Drakes sale shop is so good / they're on sale so regularly at good reductions that I'm not sure I'd cop at full price or low reduction.
