I would like to get some advice and guidance from those of you with a good sartorial sense.
Where can I get well-cut and good quality men's formal / business suits in Colombo ? Name of the outlet / mall would be a great help.
And no, I am not looking at brands like Gucci, Armani, Yves Saint-Laurent, Prada, Savile Row and the likes.
I am also looking for someone knowledgeable enough in the shop to guide me on what suit would be best worn for what occasion like a blazer, 2-piece suit, 3-piece suit, single-breasted, double-breasted, et al. And I suppose the suit shop would have a good collection of ties too. Am I asking for too much ?!?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Where can I find the best suits in Colombo ?

I am not sure what is to be worn when but I am sure the guys in this shop can be of some help.
You can buy or custom make suits / blazers from Hameediyya. The shop is located in Galle Road, Colombo-4 . Shop is on sea side of the road. It's like 4 floors and you can make some good choices and not too expensive considering top brands.

@ Wilson / makhma,
I looked at the address further ... and rather curiously the email id is [email protected] - that's the same name of the shop which is given by makhma above !!
I wonder if they both are one and the same !

Try Hameedia which is the best and comparatively cheaper to the brands you mentioned. They do have more than 10 branches, check the above link to visit the closest one.

@ makhma, rhiann666,Wilson, arshad_bes ... guys you've all been just wonderful. Thank you !
Today I went to Hameedia's flagship store in Colombo 03. It was perfect for my requirements. The staff there were helpful and I took my time trying and choosing the different suits. Made some very good purchases too. I am more than satisfied and I would not have been without all your help and assistance. Thanks all one more time.
