Shopping in department stores can be a little tricky because there are tons of brands and you never really know if everything you’re looking at is of the quality you would expect. A great example of that is Primark have stores inside Selfridges so you can’t always trust department stores. House Of Fraser is no different, so I’m generally a bit picky when shopping with them.
Skopes As A Brand
While browsing through the website I was looking for a suit that’s different to what I’ve been posting recently and I realised I haven’t actually posted a decent black suit. Skopes as a brand is a trusted brand in the suit tailoring world. They are not known for skinny or slim fit suits that portray you as a young person starting out in your career. However their suits are almost all tailored fit to give you that well established in the suit wearing world look.
Skopes Madrid Suit
The Skopes Madrid Suit is made from a super fine twill cloth, which is a very practical and comfortable suit. It feels very light weight yet still feels like it will last a long time. The lapels are your standard peak lapels but not the skinny ones, nor are they too wide, they are just the middle width – perfect for average/wide ties.
Three piece suits are amazing and the Skopes Madrid Suit is no different. Available in black, grey, charcoal and navy in jacket, trousers and waistcoat all for only £118. You can also buy it without the waistcoat for under £100. I must warn you though that House Of Fraser sell out on suits very quickly, I’ve lost suits by waiting too long.
Review’s
I picked out two reviews of the suit from the house of fraser website for you guys to have a look at.
Very Good Quality
The delivery was superbly on time considering the item was ordered late Saturday night and arrived as promised Sunday night. The quality was excellent and fit was perfect.
Unbeatable Value
Great slimmer fit suit at an amazing price! Durable finish with luxurious lining optimizing on attention to detail. Great for work or occasions. Jacket true to size, trousers slightly generous on waist but a nice tailored fit.
I bough a skopes Madrid suit with a 40 waist it was so small I sent it back for a 42 but they were too large so I took them to a tailor to be taken in he said although a 42 on the label they infact measured 43 1/2 in that case what hope have you got in getting the right size I would never buy another.
sorry to hear that mate, I own a Skopes suit and I think I was fortunate, it fit me just right. Most people absolutely love Skopes suits, I’m hoping atleast now that your tailor has done the job your atleast happy in your part tailored part off the rack suit 🙂
I buy all my buissness suits from only SKOPES -quality amazing, price great, service quick and last time I got a free genuine Cross Pen when I bought the SKOPES suit. What else to say
