Kennboy1978 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Looking to hire (or buy) a suit for my 11 year old's Primary 7 leavers party.Phoned Slater's and they want £80 to hire and roughly the same to buy. He wants the full suit, rather than just trousers, shirt and tie. I know it'll only be worn once and the jacket will be launched into a corner at the first opportunity.Anyone know any high street places that do suits ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 £80 for a full suit from Slaters is reasonable, just buy 42” trousers & a 46” jacket, he’ll grow into them, great investment.Either that, or tell him to be so hipster that he wears his school uniform, but in an ironic way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having tried turning up the heating full blast and rolled down the windows with no success, does anyone have any tips on getting their equilibrium to be normal again?? Poppers.

Take plenty pictures and make a right fuss. He’ll feel like a million dollars cos his dad bought him a proper grown up suit and he got to go to the dance like king o the hill. And it was his dad, the big guy that he wants to be, that made it happen. £80? Ffs. That not even a decent dinner for 2 these days. But your boy will remember it for ever. Tl;dr? - Slaters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy it, keep the labels on, put it back on Monday for a refund. Thats what birds seem to do with party gear in my experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Brother Blades amusing post got me thinking, give him one of your suits. Say it’s tradition. A man’s first suit should be his fathers or some shite and like that. He’ll grow in to it, gets a suit and nobody is out of pocket. Win win win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or be a better dad and teach him that a fucking suit isn't what makes him feel like a million dollars. Smartest stuff in the cupboard or a nice smart top and trousers that you know he'll wear again when needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Forgive me for sucking the fun out of this chat, but a leavers night for primary 7? Wtf is happening? They’re all going to see each other at high school anyway? Im probably really out of touch with this but isnt that just putting parents under a load of pressure to spend money they can’t actually afford? One of the high schools where I grew up i found out is doing a school trip to Florida, a school trip to Disney world and Universal studios, the pressure on those parents must be mental. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big issue unfortunately. Schools and councils are finally catching on to what is being called 'the cost of the school day'. P7 prom is a horrible trap because as a parent it's almost impossible to avoid. The best hope is that the school set down some ground rules to prevent folk going overboard and putting pressure on everyone else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
