I bought my wedding suit and suits for my best men, from the team at Charles Gale. They could not have been more helpful and efficient during our multiple visits. They even managed to deliver a suit to my best man, on the week of the wedding, because he decided last minute that he wanted a different size. As well as buying our suits, we also got our tailorings done here, which were also completed to an extremely high standard. Great service
