This is where I buy my shirts. This is where you should buy your shirts. A beautiful shop, where you can hire a suit, get dressed properly, and talk about rugby.
To everyone at HRH Holmes and Son, Thank you so much for all your help providing the men's suits for our wedding. The service from our initial visit right through to returning them was fantastic - polite, friendly, helpful and professional. The actual suits we hired were of good quality and excellent tailoring. There's nothing worse than men in ' short legged' trousers which we're pleased to say didn't happen at our wedding! Thank you also for being patient with us as it was impossible to get both fathers, the best man, four ushers and David to the fittings at one time and for constantly re-measuring David because he was losing so much weight! You were highly recommended to us and we will certainly recommend you to anyone else we know who is getting married. David and Emma, London.
I have been going to HRH in Hichin for 10 years now. I have always been able to find what I'm looking for at the shop. Chris(Holmes)stocks both contemporary and traditonal styles which means there is something for everyone. You always are greeted by a friendly face. Both Clare and Chris have years of experience and a great fashion sense....well Clare does anyway! ;0)
I send all of my brides and prom girls (for Grooms and Prom boys) to HRH Holmes, and i always get amazing feedback, patient and very commited to what the do. Great Shop, please pay them a visit.
Without doubt the best menswear retailer in the area with a wide selection of quality mens clothing. I always find what I'm looking for in the shop with great service and when they don't have it they will get in for you. Chris is genuinely interested in seeing you looking good in clothes from HRH Holmes and always has excellent advice. My wife also enjoys the shopping experience at HRH Holmes (she is my personal shopper by the way) so it must be good.
We have been buying clothing from Chris at Holmes in the churchyard for many years now. He is very helpful and attentive and stocks some really great clothes from the classic to the unusual. We rented wedding suits from him when our son got married last year and once again the service was great. We would not hesitate to send anyone to see Chris whether it is for casual wear or for a trip to the theatre he caters for all. Don and Carol Love
