Moss London Slim Fit Grey Check Suit

MOSS LONDON SLIM FIT GREY CHECK SUIT

The Moss London Slim Fit Grey Check Suit is one of those suits I’m not a big fan of. Is it unique? No! Is it something new and fresh? Not really. Could you wear this to a special event? Please don’t!

So why would you buy a grey checked suit. Well..

Grey checked suits stand out in an amazingly subtle way. Grey suits can pretty much be worn every day of the week, whether worn to work with a tie or on the weekend with a bow tie. People love checked suits and grey ones are no different. I don’t know why but everyone just assumes a checked suit is an expensive suit. The Moss London Slim Fit Grey Check Suit is a normal single breasted slim fit suit with one button fastening.

For some reason Moss decided not to allow us to pick our own trouser size and actually just design the trousers to be six inches smaller than the chest size. Although I find this extremely weird for a company to force you into wearing a certain trouser size, it does however make sense as most people generally are 6 inches smaller in their waist. I’m actually a size 40 chest in slim fit and 34 waist so well done to them. If you find the trousers don’t fit you could easily send it back or take it to your local Moss Bros.

Made from 100% polyester, its just a normal quality retail suit really. As you would expect in a retail suit, the Moss London Slim Fit Grey Check Suit is priced at £99.

So I don’t know if you have been convinced by all of this, I personally havent. I love checked suits, I like grey suits, I’m not the biggest fan of one button fastening and don’t like the fact I can’t pick my own trouser length. If you don’t mind these things and just want the suit.. Here you go..

Two Moss Bros Chinos For £30

chinos display pic cover

So not all of us wear suits to work, I know some of you actually don’t dress smart at all for work. So I figured I’d do a post for you. Whether you wear suits to work or you dress smart/casual or just casual then chinos are absolutely fantastic for that look. Chinos go perfectly with a tucked in shirt and no tie, a polo shirt or a normal crew neck t-shirt. Which ever way you want to wear them, go for it.

Moss Bros are normally known for their quality in suit tailoring but they do make a few mean pairs of chinos. There currently is a sale on, two for £30 or one pair for £20.

These Moss London Slim Fit Chinos are pure cotton and feature side slant pockets, a ticket pocket, two back pockets and a stripe lining. They are available in a variety of different colours for you to pick from. My personal favourites are the dark red chinos.

Enjoy & let me know how you will wear them.

Pocket Squares From Moss London

pocket squares why and how uk

I have a lot of people who often ask me how to pick out a good pocket square. I often come up with some basic tips but really and truly my real answer should be – I have no clue. I have some great pocket squares that go amazingly well with my suits and my ties but I still wouldn’t say I know how to pick a good one. For myself personally I just buy random pocket squares and then I eventually make them work.

I remember a few years ago I bought a bright blue pocket square which I wore because everyone in my company was going to wear blue to an awards ceremony. Then after the ceremony was done I didn’t touch that blue pocket square for about 18 months. Since then I have now probably worn it at least once every week. I find that when deciding on an outfit to wear it’s all about experimenting, taking risks and sometimes a bit of copying.

Moss Squares

So I decided to prowl through Moss and select pocket squares you can buy and use to experiment with.

The Moss London knitted handkerchiefs are a stylish addition to your outfit and are a this season must have. Pop into one of our on trend jackets and wear one of the Moss London shirts opened necked. Alternatively, looks super smart in a slim fit suit with a contrasting shirt and tie.

Enjoy looking dapper!

Moss London Slim Fit Silver Tonic Mixer

moss bros silver tonic suit

Silver suits are a favourite of mine, definitely not a suit you would wear to work, I know some people do but hey, each to their own. The Moss London Tonic Mixer suit was my favourite suit 3 years ago before I eventually managed to buy a tuxedo. The suit goes great with everything and you really can stand out if you wear it to the right place. I have worn mine to weddings, award ceremonies, parties and even on a night out a few times. It’s one buttoned with notch lapels and single breasted, it really suits the slim fit style nicely. It comes with the normal two pockets and breasted pocket which I’m hoping you will keep the pockets closed and not ruin the shape of the jacket!

When I bought this it was known as the Ventuno21 suit but now it’s called the Moss London but I’m pretty sure it’s still the exact same fit as the one I had. The new Moss waistcoats are low cut so they only have three buttons as opposed to the normal five or six. The trousers on this suit are really thigh hugging so if you have quite big thighs I wouldn’t suggest this suit unless you know your measurements, and make sure you check the sizing guides.

When I initially bought this suit I remember it being around £150+ for the whole set but thankfully now it’s on sale;

The Blazer – From £99.00 To £59.00
The Trousers – From £60 To £20
The Waistcoat – From £49.00 To £39.00

The Total Price – £118.00

I would highly recommend the Moss London Slim Fit Silver Tonic Mixer as long as you’re not planning on wearing it for daily use, keep it only for events and times when you’re planning on really showing off.

Patent Moss

black patent moss bros shoes

So I’m out shopping the other day, pretty much the same as everyone else nowadays. Anyways I went into Moss Bros looking for brown suede loafers, did I find them? No I didn’t, however I did find some absolutely sexy shoes that I will need to save for the perfect occasion. Now we all know black patent shoes are amazing, you’ve all probably seen the Ted Baker ones thats in loads of stores. You’re probably thinking why are these any different? Well they aren’t. These Moss Bros black patent shoes are exactly the same in quality and appearance, I suppose you could say the only difference is they are significantly cheaper at £80. I do understand that the Ted Baker ones have a blue trim and a different sole but we don’t worry about that.

When To Wear Them

Now normally you would only wear these shoes at a specific event, i.e. a black tie dinner but I’m all about going against the mould. Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying we should wear these to work, calm down that would be social suicide. With that being said you can wear these with all of your dark suits. I wear these on any nights out to the restaurant with the Mrs or to any event that’s out of the ordinary where I know I’m going to be out during the night. I don’t know why but black patent shoes just don’t look that good during the day.

Fakes

Now I am aware that primark sold their own black patent shoe for £15 and I’m sure there’s other black patent shoes you could grab for £20-£30. Regardless of the company selling it, if you’re going to get black patent shoes make sure they are real leather. Everyone on the planet can tell if your wearing decent patent’s or not. Don’t be that guy trying to look rich.

Have a look yourself.

Moss Bros Review

moss bros review

If I was to sum up this Moss Bros review in one word, it would be ‘brilliant’. What can I say, without a doubt I absolutely love Moss Bros Great company, great retail stores, great staff. Moss Bros know just what they’re doing. It’s almost like walking into a privately owned tailor for a bespoke suit. Obviously it’s not as good as going into a tailor’s for a bespoke suit but you get my point.

If I judge them based on their diversity of suits they would do very well. They have everyday work suits, evening wear and casual suits. Sometimes however, their diversity of suits lets them down as they have some crazy silver and gold suits – yuck.

The quality of their suits is pretty much standard as you’d expect from any standard high street retailer. Moss Bros’s designer suits are of a much better quality than the rest though. I bought my first suit from them 4 years ago, and so far, I am yet to rip or wear away any of the fabric in my suits.

If you’re anything like me, (I have a weird body shape), the majority of the suits you buy wont fit you (perfectly) as most suits are shaped for “normal body shaped people.” Great thing about Moss Bros is they 99% of the time have a qualified Tailor to make the suit YOURS!

Moss suits are consistent, they have very strong stand out suits and very nicely fitted suits. You know what you’re getting from them. You have the choice of hiring a suit or buying it, I have never hired a suit in my life but I know some people are into that so go for it if you need an emergency suit.

They have some luxurious brands such as Calvin Klein, Ben Sherman, French Connection, DKNY, Ted Baker, Canali, Zegna and Cerruti, these are all available in store and online. Not only do they offer fantastic suits at great prices, they also have extremely nice accessories and shoes. I will be selecting a few to write about in the future so stay tuned.
