For, despite fashion's fancles which come and go each seasoni, the tailored suit goes on-yes, forever. It changes with each season it adopta ne silhouette, new colour, new fabele.
But
its usefulness and adoptability remain unchallenged.
Those buying a suit la London will find a wile price range. varying from £10 for a "ready- made" at one of the big stores, to upwards of £70 at one of the enuturlers. Wherever they
