Just Ask Louis!
My son is making his First Communion this year. Do you sell suits for kids of this age.
Where we do not sell suits "off the rack" for kids, we do offer the facility of having a suit tailor made for the boys.
This is hugely popular for Communions, as it literally allows you custom make your own suit.
Call into our Capel Street branch and have a look at the beautiful fabrics and linings that will all help make your son's Communion Day special.
I am quite a large man, and I find it difficult to get clothes that fit me properly. Can you help?
Yes, we stock a huge range of clothes for the bigger (and indeed the smaller) man.
We keep suits and jackets up to size 60", trousers to size 58" waist, jumpers and coats up to 7XL, and shirts up 22.5" collars.
We also stock shoes up to size 15.
Should you still not manage to be fitted from our ready to wear collection, we obviously also provide a made to measure service 2nd to none.
I'm getting married this year, and while I would really like to treat myself to a top of the range suit, I want to kit the bridal party out in similar suits without spending a fortune. Is this possible?
This is something that crops up every day now, as wedding suits has become a very important part of our everyday business.
Often the Groom will want to push the boat out on his own suit, and either buy a top of the range readymade suit, or have something Tailor Made for himself.
We can also offer less expensive suits for the rest of the Bridal Party,starting at €399.00.
Our sales team will ensure you get the closest match available to your own suit, but all within your budget.
In the current economic climate, should I buy a plain coloured suit or are stripes still the way to go?
This question comes up time after time, and can be a bit of a "grey" area.
While stripes are still extremely popular, certainly the business customer is tending to tone down the depth of the stripe in their suits. More subtle stripes are proving very popular.
Plain colours are always a good option, as they can be a bit more versatile, and gives you greater scope when choosing shirts and ties.
Plain navy and charcoal grey in particular are our two strongest sellers.
I buy a couple of Canali suits each year and never wear the same suit more than once a week. However, the seat of the trousers always develops a shine after a while. I dry clean them no more than twice a year. Is there any way of preventing this?
Unfortunately this is something we in the trade are constantly working on improving – but by and large, still to no avail.
All fabrics, be they dark in color or lighter, tend to shine.Its just something that happens when the cloth constantly is rubbing against other surfaces. It is more apparent on the darker colours obviously, but then the lighter colours show up other marks more easily, so it is a bit of a catch 22 situation.
By the sounds of things, you look after your garments exactly how we would recommend – I would suggest you keep doing this, and hopefully sometime in the near future somebody will come up with something to stop this happening.
