Looking for a solid 2-piece suit for a conservative job interview in about a month.

Budget: ~€500 or under (happy to use sales/discounts or buy online)

Requirements:

• 100% wool only
• Colour: preferably dark grey/charcoal, navy also fine
• Classic/conservative look (nothing flashy)
• Regular cut, especially trousers (I have slightly fuller thighs, don’t want slim/tight fit)

My measurements:

• Height: 6’1” (185cm), ~70kg
• Chest: 38” → need approx ~21” pit-to-pit on jacket
• Shoulders: ideally ~17–17.5”
• Sleeve: ~25”+
• Waist: ~31” (but need room in seat/thigh)

I’ve tried going the used route (Vinted, eBay etc.) but keep running into issues:

• Shoulders fit but chest too tight
• Trousers fit waist but too slim in thighs
• Or length is off

Brands I’ve looked at so far:

• M&S Sartorial line (can get one around €280 with discount)
• Hunter Treacy (made in Italy, ~€350 on sale)
• Next (regular fit wool suits)
• Suitsupply (They are getting so pricey these days also tight trousers)

Main concern now is just getting something that actually fits properly without loads of tailoring.

Any recommendations for:

• Specific brands/models that run more “regular” in cut
• Good EU/UK retailers with easy returns (to Ireland)
• Anything I should be prioritising at this price point

Appreciate any help.
