So say the family. But I'm a Mod, so it's all fine.
On a suiting spending spree the other month, I picked up this swag number from Atom Retro and Madcap England. Apologies for the weird lighting, but the style is three-button, with a dark navy, subtle Prince of Wales-type pattern. Nice additional detailing such as covered buttons, zany inner lining and a nice purple trim on the inside. I like it when a maker puts in that little extra effort to cover the buttons with fabric - looks sharper somehow. Plus, the price was decent at £104 (with a cheeky promo discount). Always a winner.
If you’re getting this one, I’d recommend a size up. My order was my usual size, but the fit was far too small on this suit. I would point out that I also ordered a Donegal suit (in grey) in the same batch which fitted fine, so I assume it is the fit of this particular style. Having said this, I'm not sure if they have any of this particular style left - but there are plenty of others by Madcap England and Atom Retro.
For the record, I think I own about 5 or 6 suits, but two are for work so they don't count and one is very old. So it's 3. Not too many at all...
