M&S?.
Guys, unfortunately I need a Tuxedo to attend a wedding reception. :(
Any recommendations as to where to buy? Wool/wool blend. Needs to be good quality but not expensive. :) Is Moss Bros still the 'go to'?
Many thanks

M&S?.
Many of the traditional hire places sell ex-hire suits and they can often be like new.
M and S are usually fairly good at that end of the spectrum. I have one from Suit Supply that I think was good value, around £400 from memory.

I have just dug my M&S one out for use this weekend
To be fair I have only worn it once before but it’s good quality for not a lot of cash. It will do.
M&S or if you can't handle your drink and will ruin it George at Asda.
Why online? A good quality suit can look crap if it's a bad fit. Likewise a cheap suit can look decent if it's a good fit, so like most other have said pop down to M&S and try some on.
Slaters is always my first stop for suits as I don’t wear expensive ones. The service is always excellent.
It has been a while since I've worn a tux however I've always hired rather than bought. If it's a one-off occasion I'd find a decent hire shop, that way you're pretty much guaranteed a good fit. Unless, of course, you're unable to get to one!
For decent cut and quality - M&S.
Lots more expensive options are out there.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Might get lucky in one of the larger TKMaxx stores?

Dobell have two piece tux’s for around £160. Spend the money you save on a decent pair of shoes. Good shoes can make a cheap suit look great. Cheap shoes can make a great suit look cheap.

Another vote for M&S although my last one was from Reiss.
"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
I just had a suitopia tailor made one for not much money and it is decentc
Would a 'Dinner jacket' always have satin lapels? If so, then that's what I meant. :)
Strangely enough - almost everywhere is sold out of all sizes of formal wear. Must be the wedding season causing the shortage. :(
My current DJ is from M&S as was my previous one, which lasted about 12 years. The current one is a bit more slim fit than I'd like, but otherwise the fit is good. I agree that fit and accessories are as important as the quality of the suit.
Another vote for M&S. If you wanted to push the boat a little further I would spend more on the shirt and tie, but their suits are fine.
I've now decided to just hire a DINNER SUIT for the evening. :)
