Does anyone know where I can pick up a smart non-wool suit from in the UK?

I can't speak to where you can find an off-the-rack suit in the UK, but this blog post is pretty useful -

I've been struggling a bit myself for the past year in trying to source vegan businesswear that doesn't cost the earth.

A couple of years ago my boyfriend got a really nice suit from Zara - all vegan, and pretty reasonably priced.

Cheap suits are often not made of wool:

The handful I checked on this page, for instance were all polyester/viscose.

There are sometimes cotton ones around - not all this expensive http://www.hackett.com/hackett-regent-cotton-suit PS OH says try Peter Christian though theirs may be too casual

You might want to check it, but I have heard that the Bagir label has some vegan suits under their Eco.gir label.regards, Andy
