Penneys - €50, cant beat it!

Its very hard to see the difference between a €50 and €500 suit by anyone other than a tailor.

Codology!

You can tell a cheap suit a mile away.

I recommend Hanley's its were I have bought my suits and found them reasonably priced for good quality suits.

got one for my sisters wedding in Anthony Ryans, down the end in the Remus section, I'm 36 short, and they sent it away for alterations and was done in a number of days, would highly recommend it!

I want to get a decent suit for Ladies Day on Thursday. Does anybody know where is the best place to get a suit? I've heard Greene's in Woodquay is nice.

One place that has a good selection at reasonable prices is Suits Distributors in Briarhill, they have a website www.suits.ie

Geraghty's (above Sheridan's) is where I bought my last two suits.

Reckon you'd get something nice for €200 - €250, don't be afraid to haggle.

Also second on www.suits.ie, very good value.

Carpenters Menswear have suits for around €120. Not too sure how good they are though.

Not geraghty's. My last two suits were over priced and bad quality.

River Island do good suits. I got one there for €300 but that was a couple of years ago so theyve probably dropped a bit.

Hi

Carpenters are doing great value at the moment

I'm another big fan of Geraghtys. There is also Anthony Ryans.

If you're the groom, then try Martin Feeney on Abbeygate Street.

@ fuctifino; did you go back to Geraghtys about any problems with your suit; frm experience, they have excellent customer service. However, if they don't know about a problem they can't fix it. Also, if the suit was so expensive and such bad quality, why did you buy it in the first place?

Feeney's in town do pretty good suits. i can't remember the name of the street, but it's the same one as Halo and the old Charcoal Grill. if you're going down Shop Street from Eyre square, turn right at AIB and it'll be on your left about 150m down

PEACEBROTHER

thanks everyone goona try Friday now to get one,
Im not the groom ( thank god );););)

Just wondering what price am I looking in or around ?

Upstairs in Hanley's. Good selection and good quality. A suit is worth spending a reasonable amount of money on imo, cheap suits are awful and you can spot them a mile away.

I have not bought a suit in Galway, but I have looked for one. As far as I have seen I'd say if you go to Hanley's you'd have a good chance of getting a good suit but you'd pay for it as well. I don't particularly like Hanleys because i think they're a bit snobby and overpriced but for a suit I think I would go there.

If you intend to get use out of the suit buy something plain (black or grey, no visible stripes/patterns) and the best quality material you can afford, try on loads of different ones. Bring or wear the shoes you will wear most often with the suit also. If you buy a good material suit it will "de-crease" itself from just hanging and will not stain as easily. It can also be used for weddings, funerals, interviews, business.

It all depends on how often you are going to / intend to wear the suit after this particular wedding - if you almost never wear a suit, buy a cheap one. No one will notice.
