Just like a very simple tie. See diagram below.

When visiting us on a Saturday we would prefer and recommend an appointment due to demand being high, this means we can expect your visit and dedicate time to your order. Week days are a quieter time to simply drop by – no appointment necessary.

Initially, we recommend just couples themselves visit our showrooms at the early stages (maybe bring the best man too!). They try on their ideas regarding suit hire, colours etc and discuss what they would like everyone to wear, closer to the time we would then see the rest of the party to be fitted. For boys it is recommended that they are fitted 2-3 weeks before the wedding due to growth.

Dinner suit and single orders may be organised a lot sooner to the function date. It is strongly advised to be fitted (at least a week) before the function date so that the outfit can be delivered to the relevant showroom, suits ‘to go’ are possible but please enquire regarding size availability at short notice (a form of identification is required also).

A deposit of £10 per outfit is required at the time of booking, the remaining balance can then be paid upon collection or before if you prefer.

Payments can be made by cash or card. (We accept all debit cards and most major credit cards except American express.)

We reserve the right to ask for a suitable form of identification when hiring any items from Peter Posh. Please ask a member of staff for details.

All items are individually priced, please refer to our printed showroom price list (or call to enquire) for the costing of each suit along with extra items such as shirts, waistcoats, shoes, self-tie cravats, ties etc.
