    There's great suit value everywhere, except ironically the 'suit distributors' wholesaling crowd who are in the Musgrave business park. They advertise their value, but TBH, you'll get just as good value on the high street.

    Savilles - the guys in there will help you out. Also look for 10% off their best price.

    it might cost a bit extra but I know of a couple of guys that started their own business making suits for people - much better to have a suit that fits your body.

    will PM you their contact details.

    REFLEX in North Main Street will kit you out for under €150. You are probably only to wear it on rare occasions.

    my fiancee and i recently went into patrick street and couldnt believe the value in suits.we ended up getting one in one of the Murphys,either Tom or Con.i always get the two mixed up.One of them specialises in suits for weddings and special occasions and gave us a very good deal.he ended up getting a pure wool suit for about two hundred.there was no charge on the alteration either.

    Most places dont charge for the alterations now , to be honest the prices are really good i find i spend half my money on a good pair of shoes to go with the suit. As i said Gentlemens quarters

    The suit shops in patrick sreet have incredible deals at the moment.i work in city centre.Tom Murphys are selling suits at 99 euro and gq arent much more.Be careful with the really cheap ones though as the quality is not there.Remember u pay for what u get
