My dad's favourite shop for his made to measure suites, as well as Burtons on Standishgate.

Forget to add, in that doorway another excuse to snatch a few more kisses with the boyfriend.

no need to dress smartly these days, very few go to work dressed in suits

Has anyone noticed that since the Covid pandemic and various lockdowns, there are less & less stores that sell/stock ties, collared shirts and pressed trousers?
I suspect as many people are now working remotely or hybrid, there is less demand for the traditional menswear shops that we see in this picture.
