TM Lewin do short, regular, long and I believe extra long. In addition you can choose regular, slim or fully fitted. and like 7 different collars to choose from? Gotta be worth going in and trying it.

went to a do last tuesday and thought a suit my mate was wearing was good, so asked him were it was from.

went to have a look at it today and blow me it looked good and fitted great, so copped. It was next, £160 Jawdropping! Cool dont think i've bought something from next since about 1990.

have lost a stone since going to gym, so will be upping a few suits in sales thread soon.

I would say it would be fine, depending on whether they have stated and made known it's going to be really formal.

Picked up a Next slim fit suit a few weeks ago for an interview for £110. Easily best fit & value on the highstreet I saw.

Really not sure if serious…..
If you walked into my office for an interview wearing that i wouldn't care if you were the king, you would be struck off on arrival.

i agree it would be off for an interview, but ain't you in a law firm though mob, where dress is notoriously conservative?

It's fairly laid back but i was going on my own view. I've given two interveiews in my role and i'm a bit of an appearance nazi so something like that would infuriate me enough to completley ignore what you were saying and draw pictures on my notepad of your silly flower.

Laughing out loud

with the pocket square, would a plain white linen one be the best option?

Need a cheapish tux for a ball (looking to spend about £500). Was going to down the hire route but the ones I've tried on so far haven't been slim enough. Does anyone know if COS are doing a tux? Don't really mind if it's navy or black.

Where's the suit from timmbo? Think I'd lose the flower for an interview.

What's the script on a pocket square for an interview?
