So my Wife (and biz partner) Abi says to me ‘Rob; suit and boot this man, make him look gorgeous, we’re doing a shoot at Spains Hall in Essex (for their marketing) and he’s our model….’  In comes Sam and being a model it wasn’t difficult to help him look good, a likeable chap, good… Continue reading Spains Hall Photoshoot

So where an earth does time go? It feels like 5 minutes ago we were eating Christmas pudding and now here I am eating unnecessary quantities of Easter chocolate!! Time certainly flies when you’re busy suiting and booting customers!! Well we’ve well and truly settled into 2014 and it’s shaping up to be another fantastic… Continue reading Destination ‘Wedding’

Well as usual we were packed to the rafters with appointments on Saturday, we had the great time meeting new 2014 and 2015 brides and grooms and we really look forward to looking after the rest of the lads in their parties sometime in the future….

So we’re sitting at dinner one night and my Wife Abi says she has an idea and that she wants to raise money for the ‘Help For Heroes’ cause.  I ask what she’s thinking we’ll do and she says ‘Oh, you know, just throw a small party, make it a wedding dress based themed night and hopefully… Continue reading Help For Heroes Charity Bash

Is it me or is there yet another increase in destination weddings?  We’ve had an exciting flurry lately of new Grooms shopping with us for their weddings abroad, I’m slightly envious, they’ll have guaranteed sunshine and a pool to sit at whilst they nurse their newlywed Hangover! We’ve got lots of options for Grooms and… Continue reading Destination; Sunshine Wedding

It’s been a pretty cool month for us media wise.  Abi was recently interviewed by Mark Punter at BBC Radio Essex about last year’s award win at The Essex Business Awards and (although I would say it coz’ she is my amazing Wife) she did a really fantastic job and sounded mega professional!  I actually thought… Continue reading Groom’s Room in the Spotlight – May Media

Corrr Blimey, it’s a bit chilly out there! The weekend was a bit chilly too, it certainly didn’t keep the Brides and Grooms away from the Charter Hall Wedding Fair in Colchester on Sunday though.  Thanks to all of the new Grooms and Brides that popped by and booked suit hire appointments with us.  We’re… Continue reading Made to Measure Shirts
