I have often read and heard about the power of the Internet and increasingly so in our shop environment we are coming across it.

Take today for instance,  we had a busy Internet day, we:

Today was a great example of the old meeting the new, the old skills of retailing and made to measure meeting the new era of an Internet Savvy world.

Great.

Our Made to Measure service has always been busy because we provide a quality product at a competitive price and this has meant that here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear we continue to see a growth in the Bespoke suit market when maybe other areas of clothing are slowing down a little.

This growth is even more apparent in the Bespoke Wedding Suit sector where it seems that more and more Groom’s are looking to have a suit made to measure for their big day.

With this in mind, we have sourced a few new sample cloth bunches from the local mills which feature many cloths that would be suitable for a made to measure wedding suit. These cloths come in many shades and designs and include light weight wools and wool and cashmere mixes.

If your considering having a suit made for your wedding, why not call into our shop in Huddersfield (West Yorkshire) and look at the many patterns that are available.

Go on, you know your worth it!

“It was a long trip but at least the coffee, trousers and service are good!” said our first customer this morning after he had made a round trip of 86 miles to come to our shop and buy a pair of trousers and 4 shirts.

Here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear, we regularly get repeat customers, many who travel some quite long distances to visit us.

We have made to measure customers who come from London, the Midlands and the Potteries as well as North Yorkshire and the Lake District. We even have one customer who comes all the way from the USA for us to make his suits (granted he does it when he’s over on business but none the less, he comes from the States).

We often joke that we are ‘world famous in Lindley’ however as you can see, our service and our products are such that people are willing to travel relatively long distances to visit us here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

As well as visiting the Moda Menswear Exhibition in Birmingham on Monday 11th August 2008, we took the opportunity to visit one of our Made to Measure customers and deliver them their new suit and trousers.

On our way back from Birmingham we ’switched hats’ and changed from our ready to wear department into our Travelling Tailor department and visited our client in Nottingham.
