I used to get my suits made by Coop. 'Twas only because my closest friend worked there, and every now and again, (Roughly about once a year) he would ask me if I would buy a suit at a considerable discount when trade was slack. It was called a 'house job'. Used to go to a room above one of the shops on Mesnes Street for measuring and trial fittings.

They were excellent quality: as good as any other tailor that I have used.
