About Jack Bunney's

Jack Bunneys is a funny little place. We have customers from all over the UK who travel to our shop to hire suits. And customers come from all over the world to buy suits here.

But what is the difference between Jack Bunneys and our competitors? Why do our customers drive past hundreds of other menswear shops to get to us here, to our little menswear shop in East London / Essex ?

To be honest, we are not always 100% sure! However, we are confident in what we do and how we do it. We like to think that each customer we have the privilege to deal with has his own particular reason for choosing our shop, their reasoning being as unique as they are - and as unique as their weddings should be. However listed here are some of the things we do that we believe help make real difference between Jack Bunneys and other businesses:

Staff

Jack Bunneys has 3 full time members of staff. All three are company directors, all three perform every single role in the business. This includes making bespoke suits, designing and purchasing hire suits, preparing the hire orders, serving the customers and every other aspect of running a successful family business. We also have a couple of part-time staff, who work at weekends and on the odd occasion in the week too. Both of our part-time staff are extremely intelligent and educated to a high level (they are both students), they have also been trained to a high standard, both have completed the construction of at least one bespoke suit, by hand.

Stock

Our 'Hire' wear is made in Germany by Wilvorst. We do not hire our suits in, each and every suit we have, we own. This may seem a peculiar statement but you would be surprised how many companyies use a trade hire service. Each one of our suits is custom made exclusively for Jack Bunneys. This allows us to choose the correct fabric for the correct style. Each one of our suits has been designed by ourselves here to our standards. We are always designing our suits with quality and fit in mind. Only experienced tailors or designers can offer this level of design. Our stock is held here on the premises, so each customer can try-on the actual suit they will receive. We use a European size scale which gives greater scope for 'in between' sizes, this allows us to get a better fit when suiting our customers.

Service

We believe our service is unique. We believe in our attention to detail when preparing each and every hire suit:

Research and Design - We are constantly monitoring fashions and attending shows and fairs for inspiration.
Purchasing and Manufacturing - Putting our ideas into production. We source quality factories to make to the highest standard or make our own products. We purchase all our products so they are all in store to try.
Advice on Fit, Style and Design. A consultation with an experienced member of staff.
A Correct Suit Fitting. To try on the suit you will receive before booking.
A Fitting for each member of the party. Each member of the party will receive a correct fitting, where they can try-on the garments they will receive on the day.
Refitting - any member of the party can request a refit at any time.
Preparation of orders:
1. Making cravats and Handkerchiefs. - we make our own cravats and ties in up to 250 shades of pure silk
2. Alteration. Yes a hire suit can be altered. We carry out alterations to our hire suits ourselves on the premises, by hand, NO GLUE!
3. Pressing. This is the MOST important part of the preparation. We hand press each garment before it leaves. Including, jacket, waistcoat, trouser, shirt and neckwear.
4. Bagging and Tagging. Each piece is put together and bagged individually for each customer. Each bag is named individually.
Cleaning and Pressing on Return - every garment is dry-cleaned and hand pressed on return.

That is a breakdown of the practical things that you will receive with our service. However there are also the other unquantifiable benefits, such as the polite and professional service, the relaxed family atmosphere, the skill and knowledge of bespoke tailors and the experience of wedding professionals.

We believe our customers choose to come here because they like us! (as well as our suits and service). These wonderful people are visiting our shop because they feel comfortable that we will provide the service they require for their big day.

We hope you will get that feeling too when you visit us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
