Big & Tall Black Textured Slim Fit Jacket

So impressed with the quality, bought these for our upcoming wedding. Was sceptical about buying off the hanger, but we were struggling to get an appointment in any suit shops due to the pandemic. So decided to take a chance and order one suit to see what it was like. Honestly couldn’t have asked for more, ordered the rest of the bridal party’s suits the following day. For contrast, we also ordered a tuxedo from burton, and the burton one was returned immediately. The quality of the M&S suit, was far superior and also much nicer than the ones we had seen in store of local wedding suit hir shops, pre-lockdown.

Got the 52" jacket and the fit was boxy. M&S think that if you have a 52"chest, you must have an 86" stomach! p.s. I bought the matching trousers (40" waist) and ironically you would need to have the skinniest of chicken legs to wear them. Couldn't get them over my thighs! :-)

This jacket works great if you've got big shoulders and a broad back. Tapers in nicely at the sides to compensate to still give a well-fitted look. Not too long either. If you're around 5'7, you can still wear this nicely.

Very poor fit in 48L. Extremely narrow across the shoulders.

Bought this suit for my very tall teenage son for his first black tie event. He is just over 6'4" with a slightly less than 32" waist and about 40" chest but broad shoulders. I bought him the 42" jacket in extra long and the 32/37 trousers. Both were an excellent fit - no gaping at the front of the jacket (a tiny bit baggy at the back but nothing to complain about) and sleeves if anything a touch too long (room to grow...). Trousers pretty narrow in the leg - fine for him as he is v slender. Material is a good texture (not flimsy despite low price) and washable. He looked and felt great - real confidence boost to have such a well-fitting outfit. Also bought a bow tie which he can now tie himself
