I need to buy a suit. Has anyone researched this before and if so, could you let me know where I could get an animal-free suit? Thanks,

My experience is that they don't.They are fine. There are three things that make a suit non-vegan: wool in the body, silk in the lining, horse hare inside, and shells in the buttons. All perfectly replaceable with vegan alternatives, but there is a "culture" within taylors that is resistant to them, so they will tend to advice misleadingly There are some bespoke tailors, however, that do vegan suits. Here are some that do vegan suits (I contacted them specifically about it): http://www.kingandallen.co.uk/book/ or http://www.exclusivealterations.co.uk/
