I am just browsing through Burton's for a suit and not sure what to get. I already bough a suit a few weeks ago, but I think I need another one and ideally this one for a lot less.

But what does each colour say? I have found one I want for £100 and it's grey, is grey an interview colour? What about black and blue? Or are suits, just suits?

Clubs is the best suit.

ha, thought this was going to be about the tv show, which is excellent btw.

Light Grey is the best colour. With a white shirt and maroonish tie. And dark brown shoes.

I'd say dark grey and blue suits are the most conventional colours for suits, well they are in finance anyways. Black suits are for black tie events or funerals, I wouldn't get a black one.

Good luck.

For a cheapish suit I'd go in to M&S....usually always got quite nice suits on sale. greys prob my favourite colour too

Then get a good shirt from TM Lewin always makes the suit look nicer

Pmsl. Burtons says it all. Can punt a bag of sand on footy but wants a suit from Burtons. Dumb yorkies never cease to amaze me :)

Any dark suit, no stripes or any of that nonsense, just try to be neutral.

I knew you would post, my little stalker. But please don't get me paranoid, I thought Burton's was the leader for suits?

M&S, thought they would be pretty dear, no? I am not looking for cheap, but definitely not looking for expensive either, I spent £400 on my first one, so hoping to be under £150 for the whole lot this site.

Definitely a good shout for the TM Lewin shirt though, got waistcoat and shirt from there last time.

Ruling black out for sure.

Burton's is just for cheap clothes, certainly no leader. M+S is probably the high st leader for suits.

M&S aren't that expensive, certainly less than £200 iirc.

If you are going for an interview, the general advice is that dark blue is best. It sets you apart from the black suits but without being too obvious. Chalk stripes/pinstripes are generally a no-no.

Tbch it depends on the sort of interview for the sort of job. Prob matters less than ever.

I would advise you to find out about the work ethic for the place you're applying for. I found out that the chief exec detests ties and likes suits with open shirts. Always good to do your research.

As for where to buy, picking the sale times at House of Fraser is +ev. Plenty of bargains from bit names - high street names like Ted Baker and Ben Sherman, but also more Couture names like Berwin and Berwin and Paul Costelloe.

A good suit makes you stand out but it's the man inside it that will decide who gets the job

Matalan ftw

Jaeger suits the best

Birthday suit

Not sure where you live but if you want good value reasonable quality go to an outlet village

Think Jason infers u are in York, there is 1 there

Yep, deffo this, I picked up a pair of M+S shoes for 20 quid the other week, reckon they would normally be 60 ish.

See if you can find a Dewhirsts Impressions near you. There's one in Hull I think. They used to make all the M&S suits and still have good quality schmutter at decent prices.

He is in Sheffield, part of the people's democratic republic of Yorkshire.

Always a surprise to be reminded that Sheffield is in Yorkshire. I think of it as being part of The Midlands these days.

Sarf Yorkshire tho innit. May as well be in Kent.

Lee Westwood took Dickie Bird for a game of golf. Bang Dickie nails one straight down the fairway.
"Nice tee shot" says Lee.
"Cheap tha nos" replies Dickie "Pack of 3 is £5.99 Barnsley market"

I hate shopping when busy.

I got my suit (well trousers and jacket) for £119. I got fed up in M&S and Debenhams was just a joke!

I need to be reminded not to visit Meadowhall on a Saturday, it is a joke!

fyp.
People who live 50 miles away from Sheffield know this and yet stupid yorkies still go

I have had two suits in the last 20 years one I bought for my grans funeral and one for my brothers wedding (I was best man)
One was black white shirt black tie one was black white shirt purple tie!
That's the only input I can give on this thread !!

A suit from Sir Montague Burton was the dogs bollocks back in the day. hence the saying "The full Monty"

Nowadays they've gone for a Burton.

They were almost all corner-shops and had snooker halls above them too.

If you fancied a game of snooker back in my dad's day you just had to look for a Burton's.

That's right Ralph. I used to play at one in Sheffield, (Faulkners I think it was) and this one in Rotherham.

Have you ever been to meadowhell at Xmas or a Saturday Tom?

Once....

Damm. Lesson learned tho

Excellent nugget of information. Does this happen frequently in your diary? I'm considering a defection from you-know-who's diary.

The wind in the Earth's northern hemisphere blows mostly from the north-east, while in the southern hemisphere, it blows from the south-east. Very convenient if you're the olde worlde nautical version of Eddie Stobart.

See, before mechanisation, these winds were used to propel sailing ships back and forth across the worlds oceans. Obv this free source of natural power was great for your latter day Arfur Daley types, who would sail one way with a boat load of rubber, flog it, buy a boat load of linen with the proceeds and then sail back. They called the winds 'Trade Winds'.

So we have the Trade Winds. Great! But there is a problem. You can't have two winds that blow in opposite directions rubbing up against each other, that would cause all kinds of friction, so in between there is a nice calm buffer zone where the wind almost never blows. This calm corridor is known as the Doldrums.

'Dol' is the old word for 'dull. as in slow or sluggish. If fit of anger was a 'tantrum', then a bout of dullness or laziness was a 'doldrum'.

When a ships Capitan found his ship becalmed, he would say 'She's in her doldrums' and because this happened most often in the calm region that lay between the trade winds, that region itself eventually became known as 'The Doldrums'.

My diary is languishing in the doldrums at the moment. 'Moribund' Tony would call it. He tries to get it going with a bit of puff every now and then, but sooner or later, I will have to man the oars.

You have all got me officially paranoid after reading some quotes.

I bought it from Burton's and it's grey, it's nothing amazing, but I think it will do.

But questions which are annoying me, should the suit have 2 buttons, mine was one, does it matter? I also wonder if you fasten your button for the interview, etc?

Fasten your buttons while standing, unbutton to sit.

Diary popularity is all about marketing these days and people want to be excited. I think the idea of a hero vigilante pedalling around the neighbourhood with evil eyes and cap drawn low is exciting for us the reader. When injustice is encountered this mysterious figure will stamp it out and cycle onwards looking for the next adventure. Pictures of squirrels are all good but odd tale about going nutzoid at people in the street would give you an edge and increase beaufort scale imo. Even though Tikay has mostly train pictures in his diary he does include smut from time to time.

I said there would be oars, what more do you want?

Listening to this in my head, you remind me of a character from a film called "Snatch". That guys name is Brick Top.

Eh?   :dontask:

Just edited what I was about to post (quite innocently, I might add). Let's go instead with "I love the film that is called Snatch, me".

Much better

As I read the trade winds post it just reminded me of the way he delivers his "pigs consuming bodies" speech.

Stop frowin them bloody spears!

Not sure about the RED-DOG/Brick Top comparison but incred film nonetheless

Could be the Greatest.
