Yes, it'll cost a bit more but it'll fit you perfectly and last much longer than a suit you buy off the rack. Here are two in your area: David Clarke Bespoke Tailoring 19, Broad St Oxford Oxfordshire OX1 3AS Tel: 01865 247773 Ede & Ravenscroft Ltd 119, High St Oxford Oxfordshire OX1 4BX Tel: 01865 242756 Just call them up and tell them you are deathly allergic to wool but require a DJ. I'm sure they will sort you out. Cheers, MrFalafel Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.
