Big & Tall Navy Wool Rich Jacket with Lycra

A fantastic quality, well designed and extremely comfortable suit jacket (same for the trousers) - looks incredible and feels great on....well worth the price.

UNFORTUNATELY THE JACKET WAS TOO LONG AND TOO BIG. WHEN UNPACKED WRINKLES HAD APPEARED IN THE FOLD OF THE ARMS.

I bought the jacket for my 6' 5" son to wear as a blazer with non-matching trousers in the sixth form. (Would have chosen another sturdy, washable suit but you don't seem to offer them in Big and Tall anymore.) The first time it was dry-cleaned, the fabric bubbled at the front from lapel-height to almost the hem and far from looking as if it will last a "lifetime", it looks as if someone has slept in it for a week and then wrung it out in the bath. The drycleaner blames the problem on the glue in the interfacing and I am inclined to believe him as I have never had a problem with other M & S suits that have been cleaned at the same shop many, many times. My son has worn this jacket only occasionally since September because he was rotating it with the washable suits he already owns, so it hasn't exactly been tested to destruction. All in all, I'm afraid that it was a rare bad buy from M & S. I'm disappointed..

So pleased to find a really nice suit of good quality at a fair price. Shopping for my 6'7" son is hardwork and we were relieved to find this excellent suit instore .... although we did order the jacket online in the end to get a discount. Please M & S ...stock more big and tall range in store or at least have some sample sizes to try on. Only good comments on this occasion!

This is a very smart jacket, fit extremely well and looks great.
