Ooohhh oooh ask Jarvis Cocker if he's got any of his burgundy cord ones going spare 
I don't think there'll be any left at the charity shops because he bought them all.

Salvation Army, joining the band may be a bit drastic just for the suit though.
I'd say a workwear / uniforms outlet is your best bet. Anyone think of any particularly tacky airlines or hotel chains?
Alternatively mail order from the US of A, bounds to have loads over there

Yeah, what Bean said! Get a white/cream one, do some work on the mini, then when you are cleaning your bloody knuckles over the sink just put your suit underneath, then let it dry out and voila! Red suit!

mind numbing practical point - If you get one to dye avoid polyester it doesn't dye at all well
