Slaters has to be my surprise of the decade when it comes to menswear. At first impression, the…read moreflight of stairs does make it feel like walking up an office building but all is not what it seems as I found Slaters to be a useful shop. Having recently checked this store out, I was silently surprised to witness two fantastic floors of quality and affordable menswear with friendly, helpful and vigilant staff that look seriously ready to assist. Initially, I didn't think much of the shop from the outside and thought it would be another overly priced clothes shops. Yet, when you see the choice available, there is a suit to match every man, a tie and shirt plus a nice pair of shoes to fit the bill. Whether or not you like to spend much on clothes, the prices vary from one end of the spectrum to the other and feature many brand names to take your fancy. Overall, an excellent choice and you will be well looked after.

I have brought a number of boys to Slater's to purchase their required formal wear; it's great,…read morethere's a great stock and it's all really reasonably priced. Before visiting we had been to innumerable high street stores: Topman, Burton, French Connection, Zara Men, yes, Primark, and the stock was scanty and the size and style range was very poor. Slater's is jam packed, almost dauntingly so, but there are knowledgeable staff on hand to help. Suits can range from £60 to over £200 or you can hire, (the formal range has been extended recently to include Asian Wear) tuxedos and dinner suits are also stocked, as is highland-wear if you're brave/ Scottish enough. While Slater's is known for it's formal wear, they also stock casual ranges: denim, knitwear, coats, polos as well as shoes and accessories. It also sells ladies-wear which is less well known- this section is quite small however and tends to be more formal: suits, shirts and coats. Slater's really look after their clients offering free alterations, personal shopping and personal appointments with disabled customers. I definitely recommend Slater's, and don't be put off by the "it's tucked away" comments, it's easily locatable just off Church Street!

Their label list can be considered equal to that of the most excellent pieces you'd expect to find in London, New York or Paris. The shop itself is an interesting walk-through. Each room as a set staged with it's own personality (era specific) all highlighting a new season, usage, label and/or aesthetic. What's on this glamorous menu? Acqua di Parma Armani Belstaff Burberry (excellent selection) Canali C.P. Company Citizens of Humanity Eton (No, not that Eton) Holland Esq. Hugo Boss Oliver Sweeney Montcler Mulberry (a wonderful, traditional and established label not yet well known in the States). Perry (not just the Mod polo shirts) Paul Smith Tod's etc. The staff are hip and upscale. As an American I won't deny getting the feeling the gentlemen working here had been butlers in a past life - much more than simple salesmen. Well done, Sirs. Very well done.

Greenwoods is a specialist shop which dedicates itself to men's suits, so expect to find anything…read morefrom dinner suits to casual blazers and waistcoats. Most of the suits I'd come across are actually quite affordable when compared to other high-end shops in town, plus they were made from good quality material. Staff were also cheerful and on hand to help as soon as I entered the shop which is always useful. I'd never visited this shop prior to today as I'd always bought my formal wear in places like M&S, but here has surprised me a bit due to their excellent variety of suits at not overly expensive prices. This is definitely one of my better recent discoveries and I would recommend anyone looking for a suit or a shirt to consider Greenwoods.

Greenwoods itself feels very much like it still belongs in the 1970s but then being established back in the 1800's the last 40 years have only been a blip! Form is temporary, style is permanent is the saying I believe and if you look for anything formal, elegant and above all classic - by that I mean very traditional - then you can't really go wrong here. For a small, and as I say very old, store they do have a good selection of shirts, ties, blazers and suits. They are all reasonably priced and they cater for the, er, larger gentleman. Goes to show you that in men's clothing, what goes around comes around.

These items can be expensive though so be prepared to flash the cash if something catches your eye before its price tag does. The staff are friendly and helpful enough but the atmosphere can be quite uncomfortable at times as they are often standing around with little to do other than watch as you shop and try to hide your shock when you see their prices.
