Graduations
Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University both graduate in the city. A suit set to the right length is worth arranging a few weeks ahead.
Belfast · Home visits
Belfast alterations, fitted where you are.
Malone and Stranmillis homes, Titanic Quarter offices, Holywood and beyond — a fitter visits, pins the work on you and brings it back finished.
Alterations in Belfast
Belfast’s offices, its graduations and a full wedding season keep suits in steady use. A jacket that needs shorter sleeves or trousers that need a clean break are quick to put right.
We fit at home, at work or in a hotel, and return every garment hung and pressed.
Fittings can be at home, at the office or in a hotel. Belfast is one of our express cities, so simpler work can come back in about 72 hours where available.
