The Process
Unhurried, from first visit to the morning after
Most parties come to us nine to twelve months ahead of the date, though we have dressed a wedding in a fortnight more than once. Whether you are arranging wedding suit hire for twelve, a single dinner suit for a black tie evening, or prom suits for a group of school leavers, the process is the same four unhurried steps.
Fit consultations take place at our studio at Pandy Business Park in Gresford, ten minutes from Wrexham town centre and around twenty five minutes from Chester, with free parking at the door. Appointments are private, so the room and the collection belong to your party for the afternoon. Clients travel to us from across North Wales, Flintshire, Denbighshire and Cheshire, and we schedule evening and weekend times to make that straightforward.
The Process
Four stepsFour unhurried steps,from first visitto the morning after
Every hire begins with a fit consultation in Gresford, where cloth, colour and measurements are settled in person rather than guessed from a size chart.
- 01
Book Your Fitting
Tell us the date, venue and party size. The studio is held for you alone.
Write to us with the date of the occasion, the venue and the size of the party, and we will hold the studio in Gresford for you alone. Appointments run through the week and across weekends and evenings, so grooms, groomsmen and fathers travelling in from Wrexham, Chester or further into Cheshire can attend together rather than in ones and twos.
- 02
Find Your Perfect Suit
Handle the cloth in daylight and narrow six pieces down to one.
We walk the collection together, handling the cloth in daylight and talking through weight, weave and colour against the season, the venue and the palette the bride has chosen. Nothing is decided from a photograph. You will try jackets on, compare a tweed against a worsted, and narrow six pieces down to the one that genuinely suits the day.
- 03
Fit & Finesse
Measured properly, then checked again closer to the day.
Every member of the party is measured properly at the chest, waist, seat, sleeve and inside leg, and the numbers are recorded against the booking. Sleeve length, trouser break and waistcoat balance are adjusted, then checked a second time closer to the date so growing page boys and changing waistlines are accounted for before the morning arrives.
- 04
Wear, Celebrate, Return
Collect, wear, return. Cleaning and pressing are handled here.
Suits are pressed, bagged and ready to collect from the Wrexham studio in the days before the occasion, or delivered to the venue when that is simpler. Afterwards you return everything as it is. Cleaning, pressing and repairs are handled here, so nobody spends the week after the wedding at a dry cleaner's counter.
It takes two minutes. Tell us about the occasion and we will arrange your fitting at the showroom.

The Cloth
Standards you feel before you see
Every jacket in the collection is cut from British and Italian cloth chosen for weight, drape and how it behaves after twelve hours of wear. Horn buttons, taped seams and a canvassed chest that holds its shape. Hired, but never disposable.
Fabric is where a hired suit is usually let down, so it is where we spend the most care. Worsted wools for weddings that run from a morning ceremony into a late evening, herringbone and Donegal tweeds for autumn and winter in the Welsh countryside, open weave summer cloths for race meetings and coastal ceremonies. Linings are cut generously, trousers are finished with a proper waistband and turn ups where the cloth suits them, and every garment is pressed and inspected in Gresford before it leaves for the occasion.
Alterations are carried out in house. If a sleeve sits a quarter inch long or a waistcoat needs taking in the week before the wedding, it is corrected here in Wrexham rather than sent away, which is the practical reason our clients from Chester and Cheshire make the short drive across the border.
