For 15 years it's been the academy of fine threads. The shop caters to both men and women, with a price range varying from £30 to £100 plus. I love that more eccentric labels like Numph grace the racks alongside one of my favourite labels, French Connection and that you can find quirky jewellery, hats and belts too. Great for a present for a loved one, Pete's taken all the leg-work out of finding that something different.

Over the years Ive purchased a number of shirts/polo shirts/jeans from this great shop. The customer service is fantastic, and they get it spot on .... you can expect them to ask if you'd like any help, but, they wont jump on you and make you feel pressured. I can only comment on the Mens section which has everything from Fred Perry, Hudsons, Levi's, Carharrt etc and thanks to the recommendation of the staff I also own a pair of Edwin Jeans (which I admit, I hadnt heard of before) and Nudie jeans, both of which were at great value. To go back to the customer service part, two years ago I umm'd and ahh'd over a jumper, before going back a week later to buy it. I found that they'd sold out of my size, but they took my details and 3 days later they rang to tell me they were keeping one in my size behind the counter for me, brilliant service ! The only down point for the shop....its not big enough! If youre after a shirt for a night out and dont want to run the risk of seeing someone else wearing the same top whilst out, get yourself down to Steranko and find yourself something a little unique

Yes of course they're there to make a sale, but at no point did I feel any pressure to buy. Looking for a decent shirt for the wedding of friends of mine, after a quick measuring with tape and being presented with their 'tester shirts' (you don't try on the ones you'd buy, these are to find out which fitting suits you best) I was shown to their fitting rooms. After trying on a few and deciding on a style, it was over to the shelving and they brought down some options. I ended up with a lovely crisp shirt for just shy of £35. For the level of attention I received I was expecting it to cost three times that price. I left with a smile on my face and you know what? They've hooked me as a return customer now. I'll gladly spend my money where they treat customers with such regard.

The quality for a £30 shirt is miles ahead of what Thomas Pink and other competitors are offering at north of £100. Many of their jackets are half/fully lined with functioning button holes which are very hard to find for the price they are charging in this day and age. The customer service is very friendly too!

Also, this is the first place in a while that I've seen that stocks Doc Marten boots! Weirdly, they're trying to get all modern. I liked them when they were just big, black and leathery.

For people who are unaware, Slater's are a formal and partially casual clothes shop. Selling a wide range of Suits, ties, shirts, shoe's...You get the idae. However, they offer such a greater experience than just your average shop. This all boils down to the staff. The whole shop floor situates on the 2nd floor, completely open planned with clothing in every place possible. The layout is neither cluttered, or overwhelming, and you can find your own way round very easily. The staff here treat you like royalty, which is unusual for a shop of such class and amazing quality clothes. They will happily help you pick out the right suit to match you as a person, recommending certain colours, sizes and even styles. Once you've done so, they will take everything you've had an interest in, or are willing to purchase and place it on a centred table. as to eliminate the choir or carrying all your purchases, and allowing you to lay them somewhere for you to observe if any second thoughts come into your head. Everything they sell here is pristine. Everything provided for sale here is of excellent quality, and even better is the affordable price tag attached to them. What's especially impressive is the way the shop matches affordable clothing, at an "Expensive" feel (If that makes any sense) If you're looking for your next suit or work clothing for your next meeting/ wedding/ party or even just to wear casually then without a doubt make sure you visit this place, you will not be disappointed.
