Below I’ve listed my five favourite spots for suit shopping in London, all of which can sort you out with a great suit for south of £700. asserted
all → list → 700
Run by the approachable and kind Julian Osbourne, Batch is the ultimate suiting destination for a man who doesn’t really like a traditional suit. asserted
who → Run → suit
Replacing classic lapels and blazer traditions with something more utilitarian, Batch’s suits take on a more utilitarian feel, inspired by old-school workwear and French chore jackets. asserted
suits → replace → workwear
My top pick: Batch LDN Petrol Wide Leg Cotton Suit Percival Also for the edgier man – but operating a little more within the norm – Percival’s take on suiting is defined by its boxier approach to silhouettes. asserted

Sharp but not shouty, a Percival suit can go anywhere from weddings to formal workplaces to fashion events and everything in between. asserted
suit → go → between
Soho, Spitalfields, Covent Garden My top pick: Percival Clifton Pinstripe Double Breasted Blazer Jaeger at M&S Something for the traditionalists, Jaeger at M&S is grounded a little more in what you might expect from a suit, completed with fashion-forward detailing. uncertain

Keeping silhouettes sharp, simple and effective, an investment with Jaeger will deliver a suit that goes the distance and hits season after season. asserted

Select Marks & Spencer locations, including the M&S Pantheon on Oxford Street and Moorgate My top pick: Jaeger 2 Piece Pure Wool Flannel Prince of Wales Check Suit Spoke Okay, this time I’m cheating a little. asserted

Though headquartered in Richmond, Spoke doesn’t actually have a physical shop anywhere, let alone in London – but hear me out. asserted

it → make → waste
If that’s not a mission statement to get behind, then I don’t know what is. asserted

My top pick: Spoke Forza Jack Performance wool jacket Wax London With stores in Berwick Street, Canary Wharf, Covent Garden, and Spitalfields, Wax London provides more than a few shopping opportunities throughout our central city – and just as well. asserted
London → provide → city
The worst-kept secret of the city’s most stylish men, Wax is home to my favourite linen-blend suit on the market right now, with availability in your choice of eight colourways. asserted
