Tony, wait till you see the bill for the wedding, you’ll wish you had got your pants lined!
Don’t forget to try and enjoy the process Tony! London might not be the most convenient for you but I know I don’t have to visit them again as I simply call them for next suit or jacket & trousers and they already have my measurements. Im guessing the good retailers closer to home for you work the same way.
That blue tweed suit looks nice. Not an obvious choice for a wedding, but interesting none the less.
Tweed might be a bit too warm with a waistcoat, but I see you are in Scotland.
Tweed is also quite versatile in that you can also wear the jacket with jeans or other trousers.
Yes, a jacket for a 3 piece can be worn without the waistcoat, it's not too big. The absence of sleeves on the waistcoat means that it doesn't fill out the jacket round your shoulders so the difference is minimal.Thanks, yes I like the suits here below, just wondering however if I buy a three piece suit does the jacket look okay when not worn with a waistcoat ie it's not too big?
I like this one too and I think my size might be a 38R or 40R, I contacted a local tailor this morning, they do alterations they said they'd be happy to alter a suit bought on line (they don't make suits).

Right guys, I've an appointment with Stewart Christie in Edinburgh on Saturday, I called them to arrange the appointment this morning, first impressions are very good.
I think I'm going to go full on three piece suits in tweed and off the peg, they have a few suits in my size (41" chests) so 42R I think for the suit I asked if they had a charcoal grey in stock and he's put one aside for me in my size.
I'm thinking of going the full tweed bhoona with Derbys, braces and a bow tie.
To hell with poverty
