I've just picked up my recycled suit from Junky Styling, and I'm chuffed to bits. As regular readers will know, I was despairing a few weeks ago at the lack of ethical blokes' suits. Now I'm feeling all warm inside at having (hopefully) kept a suit out of landfill and helping a local business that makes its clothes in the UK. You'll either love or hate the styling - I'm obviously a fan - while the cut is brilliantly measured. Being Mr Puniverse, I don't have much of a chest, so it was great to have the suit made to fit.

Looks good. I think you must have nabbed their last wedding 'slot'. I tried to get my own groom's outfit done with Junky Styling a few weeks ago but they told me they already had five weddings on the go!

My wedding dress came from an estate shop, for about 7 pounds 50 (complete with veil and train and swarovski crystals and pearls; I looked it up online later and found equivalents in the multi-hundreds of pounds range) and his tuxedo came from a yard sale for 5 quid, complete with cummerbund/suspenders/shirt, fits perfectly. We did have to hunt around quite a bit to turn up these bargains, but they are gorgeous (people simply disposing of high quality goods they no longer needed), suit our flat pocketbook, and make us feel far better than if we spent what it would cost in the shops. Win-win-win.

You look great in your new suit. It is so nice that you could find something ecofriendly. I think that is one area it a bit easier for the ladies than the men.
happy wedding!
