Its broad range of crowned hats (from Trilbies to Top), tailored jackets, suits, dress shirts and coats, along with a tasteful choice of stylish shoes and accessories are initially presented in an eye catching, traditionally dressed shop window. Once inside, they’re displayed on and within accessible vintage wooden shelving stands, cabinets and a charming timber framed glass counter.

Not a single pushy salesman in sight, its friendly, politely self effacing and immaculately attired proprietor, Mr Brandon Harris is a most helpful, engaging and highly knowledgeable gentle in all matters sartorial. Nothing ever seems too much trouble. He unfailingly treats each customer with attentive, unhurried courtesy and is always more than happy to order any unstocked item.

Should you be frustrated by the lack of choice of formal apparel and dress accessories in today’s chain stores including individual waistcoats, ties (and their slides, clips and shirt studs), hats of all sizes or cummer bands, trouser braces, detachable collars, bow ties, silk breast pocket handkerchiefs, dress scarbes, morning or evening gloves – then Smalleys is definitely for you.

An excellent choice of quality topped walking sticks and umbrellas are permanently stocked, alongside such present day retail rarities as traditional designed wrist or pocket watches, cufflinks, knitted cardigans, silk styled dressing gowns and even those luxurious velvet collared smoking jackets.

Any tailored adjustments, alterations or additions are most skilfully undertaken as well as hat stretching, medal mounting, specialist button replacements – or just the perfectly placed feather in your cap!

Great care is taken on being fitted for made to measure garments. I have had the pleasure of being the delighted recipient of some of their bespoke shirts. The attention to detail paid to their material, measuring, design and parts along with their subsequent perfect fit and comfort is second to none.”

“This shop is an emporium for men’s clothing and hats, well worth a visit. A must for the sartorial gent looking for something you won’t find on the high street.”

“Unique & well stocked. The owner (Brandon) helped me find a “James Bond” style suit for a wedding which he sold me at a very reasonable price. Couldn’t be happier with the suit & the service.”

“Very unique gentleman’s clothing shop, everything from socks to top hat’s.”
