    for that sort of money your best of trying slaters menswear near the trian station.

    I was in a hurry for a meeting one day and they fitted me a suit the same day for about £200.

    If you had more time you could go to a decent tailor and get one made £400-1400 but they usually take time sourcing material.

    You could buy an off the peg from somewhere like cruise but for £350 you'd be lucky.

    TKMAXX is often worth a shot you can find some discontinued lines (a mate found a paul smith) on occassion for peanuts - then just take it to a tailor to be fitted.

    As above - unless you have freaky dimensions like me, Slaters will sort you out for sure. Their service is top notch, especially considering the pricing.

    Take a trip to Topman, plenty of decent stuff...less than £100, which is a bonus.

    does anyone have problems with jeans like i do? went round town today to try and get a pair of jeans, im size 12, and my leg length is 32 or poss 34 if im wearing boots etc. you wouldn't think it would be too hard like, but topshop only seemed to do jeans for short-legged anorexics, or fat bottomed eaters :( not tall average people like me :(

    i tried ones in next, and i am NOT buying a size 16 just because they fit! i tried them in TK Maxx but i just got totally sick as some 12's didnt get past my knees, some came up to my boobs.

    crap :down: anyone know somewhere that does decent fitting ones? no clown hips, skinny leg, slightly flared??

    grr @ shops :lol:

    I absolutely H8 buying jeans!!! I am a size 8 normally but am quite tall which is in my opinion quite sensible, taller girls seem to be slim, so I thought buying jeans would be fine, but oh no, for some reason I like getting jeans from Republic BUT they don't do a 34" leg in a size 8 as they say there is no demand from skinny tall girls :spangled: where is the logic in that?!!?!? :evil:

    Topshop should be great for you!! :spangled: Their tall range is ideal. The legs are 36" and well proportioned, all my jeans/trousers are from there. :up:

    I used to get my jeans from Topshop and they used to fit like a glove and i never even tried them on but then one day either they changed or I did, but they always like hang out sorta thing at the back I don't really know how to describe it but it makes people be able to see your bum crack :lol:

    So I'm used to wearing my jeans from like 3 years ago:lol: or I get them ones that don't have any room for breathing :p

    im not really bothered what i pay, as long as they fit like a glove.

    topshop jeans are so close to being perfect i could cry, but they either zip half way or i could get both hands in (the waist of my jeans - get your minds out the gutter).

    i will have another go at TK Maxx, but like i said it was hell as they were all different makes, lengths, colour, style.

    once you find the perfect pair though...:groovy:

    What are all you midgets whining about- try finding 36 leg 44 waist...with a 35 inch thigh circumference. Hence all my trousers being custom made and costing about 60 quid, or being hideously too big on the waist, like 10 inches.

    Consider yourselvels lucky :(
