Try this company,
I belong to several Professional and other organisations whose annual functions are "Black Tie" dos and have purchased DJ's and Morning Suits from them over many years (as I grow more rotund) and always been satisfied with the product and the service.
You will find that most of their shops are on the First Floor of the premises as the rent and business tax are much reduced for the upper floors of buildings which is reflected in their prices.
Having said that they also stock Amarmi, Hugo Boss etc.

I have had a few over the yeas as they do shirink Confused Best one I have ever had is my current one which is an ex rental. They are made from a far better quality cloth as they have to last - go to a suit hire shop and independent one is better than a chain and have a chat. My one was only four months old when I got it and I paid less than an off the peg one at John Lewis.
Based on current rental charges it will pay for itself in 3-4 outings.

Cheers

Sounds a bit cheapskate, but charity shops nearly always have a few in, they usually have minimum wear and if you drop lucky size wise they are an absolute bargain.

If it is something you won't wear that often, get one from Matalan. Perfectly reasonable. And get a decent cotton shirt to go with it.
