    Can anyone recommend shops around Letterkenny (or towns nearby) that sell decent affordable suits? Looking to buy one, probably charcoal-coloured, with a budget of around €150 (for the shirt, trousers and jacket).

    Any help would be appreciated!

    While you're on the subject of suits, does anyone know anyone in Letterkenny who does made to measure suits, and what sort of price would be involved?

    upstairs in magees in donegal town has a clearance section, they have ones in for 150 euro (size and colours may obviously be restricted due to it being clearance stock)

    (think magees still do made to measure last time i looked was around 600 quid

    Did it not close (the one in Letterkenny, as Donegal town one is long gone)?

    Wasn't even aware of that myself. Is that the remaining branch on the the Main Street? Is it still run by the same people or a new managment?

    Hard to beleive they had five stores once, 3 in Letterkenny, one in Donegal Town, and one in Killybegs.

    I was told that the one in Donegal Town had nothing to do with the one in Letterkenny, whether that's true or not I don't know ( was told by staff in the Letterkenny store on Upper Main St when in to, funny enough, buy a suit).

    As far as I know, also told by a member of staff, that the owners were brothers, but were both seperate business'/operations.

    All three Letterkenny branches, or at least the two on Main Street, were the same business. Not sure where the Killybegs branch fitted in.
