I need a suit...and some advice.

True nonetheless. http://www.permanentstyle.co.uk/ Scroll a bit down, on the right side there is a whole series on having a suit made a t Graham Browne's.

Thanks for the suggestions chaps, much appreciated. Higgins & Brown certainly appear to be a viable option, both as far as price is concerned and because they have branches all over the place. Two in Edinburgh I see, which is quite tempting. MTM prices from £450 bodes well too.

I'm sure Graham Browne would be a good choice too and bespoke prices starting at £800 ought to mean MTM is available well within £700. I'd probably prefer to head elsewhere though, if only because I'd rather visit Edinburgh again, or go somewhere I've not yet been.

Wherever you go, ask to see a suit they've made so you can see what the quality is like. No point in buying a suit for £450 if the quality is poor.

Another good point, which I'll bear in mind. In the meantime I've located a a number of tailors within my preferred price range and based all over the UK, so the prospects seem good.
