[Help] Suit Shops in Brighton

Off the peg or tailored?

I suspect you've left the latter too late. If it's off the peg there seems to be a supply issue in some shops. I had to get a new suit for a business meeting this week because my existing ones had got a little snug over lockdown etc. I went on Saturday and it was much more painful that I thought. Moss Bros on Church Rd Hove have always had reasonable work suits from the like of Ted Baker and DKNY in my size before but they didn't have a single 36 long trouser to go with a 42 jacket. Not. One.

I traipsed off to town and eventually had to settle for M&S and not in a colour or cut I really liked.

Hoping the NSC community can assist me on this please as I'm struggling to find options online.

I'm off to the Royal meeting at Ascot next week and am going in the Royal Enclosure so need the full suit and top hat.

Looking to buy outright from a suit shop in Brighton - sourcing men's clothing up here in Mid Sussex is a nightmare - does anyone have any recommendations please? Somewhere they may have bought from before etc.

The old Jewish guy that those characters were based on must be dead now. He had a second hand shop just off the Queens Road. By the end it was just a horders dump of musty rags and was infested with moths. As a Mod I only wear 3 button suits and they're virtually impossible to buy outside of Mod shops. Jump the Gun is ok for a 3 button. If not just get some Next suit with 2 buttons and look like every other ticket and estate agent

Was that at the top of Church St?

Bought a lovely 3 button jobby from there back in the day, colour was a bit iffy but fitted like a glove.
