Quality Men's Outfitters. Having wasted a weekend looking in Debenhams, Next and M&S (all of whom appear to have given up with formal menswear) I'm delighted to have found Blacks. Excellent quality with knowledgeable advise. Always impressed when someone can state your size without needed a measure. I will be going back for more.

A wonderful mens wear boutique. Tucked away at the end of Pepper Street, this beautiful store offers some great mens designer gear and more affordable items also. Worth a visit if you desire something a little more stylish in your wardrobe. Great staff, fantastic labels, beautiful store.

Best gents clothes shop in North Staffs. All of my family shop here - from 27 - 73 years of age. A great selection of decent quality clothing for everyone. Friendly and helpful service too.
