Seasons Greetings from Aidan Sweeney Menswear in Brecon, December 2016

Thank you for your interest in my shop and website. It has been a pleasure to help my customers from all over the world - from Norway to New Zealand, from America to Australia - as well as throughout the UK.

It has also been a pleasure to meet so many customers for made to measure menswear. Tweed suits have been especially popular this year, for all ages of gentlemen, in addition to pinstripes for business wear. It is a particular delight to supply so many grooms with tweed suits for their wedding. I will be making a made to measure visit to London and the Home Counties again early in the New Year, and look forward to seeing many of you then.

Your custom is much appreciated, whether on the phone, via internet orders, or in person. I hope I can be of assistance to you again in the future. Due to the demand for made to measure, I can be away from the shop for 2 or 3 days at a time: do please call me on my mobile if there is no reply at the shop.

With all good wishes for the festive season and for 2017.

Aidan.

Gold armbands for wedding in America

We were delighted to send a dozen gold armbands to a customer in America for his wedding.

The groom, a film producer in Los Angeles, needed the armbands quickly. We sent them by express delivery for him, so they arrived in plenty of time for his wedding.

We have St George rhodium plated armbands in gold and in silver. Each pair of gold armbands and silver armbands comes in its own dark blue presentation box. When buying a dozen pairs, these individual boxes are packed within a larger presentation box. This was perfect for our American customer.

These armbands are available to order online, or you can call us in the shop on 01874 623613.

Made to measure buttonhole detail

A distinctive made to measure detail requested by several discerning customers recently is the contrast lapel buttonhole. Red is particulary striking - a personal detail that stands out without being obtrusive. 

Recent made to measure orders with a red buttonhole detail include a stylish blue two-piece suit, a light-weight grey business two-piece suit, and a three-piece wool charcoal pinstripe. This is just one of many made to measure style variations available to personalise your suit to your specific preferences and taste.

You are welcome to call me in the shop on 01874 623613 to discuss your made to measure requirements.

Seersucker napkins to match our seersucker tablecloths

Seersucker tablecloths are popular with our customers, so we have now added matching seersucker napkins. Traditional cotton seersucker is a popular, practical, and attractive material that is easy to care for.

Both our seersucker napkins and our seersucker tablecloths are available in blue check, green check, and yellow/lemon check. They are a great option for the kitchen, dining room, caravan, garden table, or picnic. Cafes and bistros also choose them to create a cheerful look, and groups such as Scouts and Guides find them very practical.

Seersucker napkins and tablecloths are available to buy securely in our online shop, and in our shop in Brecon. Do call us on 01874 623613 if you would like to find out more, or would like to place a bulk order for a cafe, restaurant, or group.

Meyer chinos: navy blue added to our range

Meyer chinos are very popular for both smart and casual summer wear. Now navy blue chinos are in stock, in addition to rose pink and sand (beige).

With their great cut and distinctive details, Meyer chinos are top quality trousers. They are practical too: crease resitant, machine washable at 40 degrees, and with 2% Elastane to give that bit of stretch. For a more formal look, the navy chinos pair well with a crisp white shirt.

All three colours are available online and in the shop in Brecon in a range of sizes. Call us on 01874 623613 if you would like to order by telephone.
