So the man behind the business died - must be near two years ago now. He was a gentle man and a grafter. I only knew him to say hello to or to buy from. My only real conversation that I ever had with him was over 50 years ago when I extended my sympathy after a bomb exploded and ruined his shop. I really don't know where these local giants of men and women continued to find the wherewithal to trade and maintain employment in a civil war. It might have been the 1960's or maybe the 1970's but it was here I got my first pair of wranglers; it was here I got my first pair of Levi's. And here I got my bell bottom jeans, white Showaddywaddy shoes and my green Fightin' Irish Notre dam jumper. It was funny to watch the tactics back then - all the price labels contained small symbols to allow staff to know the real cost rather than the retail price so from there you got your much lauded 'discount'. I remember to this day paying £45 to PJ for a pair of Levi's in 1973 which was a huge sum back then. No discount allowed on them, no symbols that's the price 'our hands are tied.' There had been disastrous floods in USA that year that affected the cotton crop so the price of denim shot up. It was called 'price maintenance' which really meant Strauss would refuse to sell to small retailers or independents if they offered discounts. Turned out to be an illegal activity but I'm sure they knew that anyway. So fast forward to now. We have a family wedding and for the third time in 20 years it's Louis Boyd we turn to again for our family wedding sartorial hire from 7 years old to three score years plus VAT. We are measured and fitted by friendly staff with patience and kindness in very impressive surroundings and a heck of a lot of floor space. Long may they thrive. read more

History

Established in 1960.

Louis Boyd founded the company in September 1960, when he was just 26 years old, as one of the first dedicated menswear retailers in the town of Newry. Louis Boyd Fashions, as it was then known, grew hugely in popularity providing the people of Newry with brands and styles that they had rarely seen before. Over the years, men and women got a taste of top brands and new styles, such as tapered trousers, slim fit shirts, and more, all of which were available at Louis Boyd's. Today, the business has evolved to house many branches across 4 locations in Newry, Craigavon and Belfast. Louis Boyd now specialises in casual wear, foot wear, formal wear, as well as hiring/buying of menswear for formal occasions. We stock top brands and continue to expand our range of suppliers, to service the customer with the most complete experience.
