Hi, I am looking for an big overcoat to take home as a gift, something reasonably dapper and well made. Does anyone know of any good second hand stores or markets. Failing that just a good value Russian store. Thanks

i suppose you can also visit old soviet factory Bolshevichka. They still produce "russian made" clothing and can tailor them. http://www.bolshevichka.ru/
Greetings peeps. I have to go to a wedding in Norway in the summer and there is not the tradition of wedding suits like we have in the UK. This has left me with the need to acquire a black suit in Moscow. I know Moscow clothing prices are usually extortionate and I would rather keep it cheap (as i have to fly to norway and pay for hotel, etc...not great given the current exchange rate) Does anybody know somewhere I can get an "off the peg" suit that will fit a small man (I'm about 5'4) and not cost the earth?
