Alterations in Aberdeen
Aberdeen dresses for the boardroom and for the weather. Energy-sector offices keep suits in daily use, and the north-east winter means overcoats that need to be the right length over a jacket.
Formal evenings, graduations and weddings across Aberdeenshire add dinner jackets and dress shirts to the list.
Visits within the city are standard. Outlying Aberdeenshire addresses may be scheduled on a particular day; we tell you the window by email when you book.
