The Souster Family

One of the essential ingredients for a performer of my type is to look good on stage. With Souster & Hicks as my tailor, I can always be assured of that. I can safely say, that I have never felt so good in a suit.

Many thanks

Russell Watson, Singer, November 2011


Dear Geoff
I wanted to express my warmest and sincere gratitude to you for your contribution to my wedding day.
I have to say, not only did the suit look superb, flattering me in all the right places, it helped me feel superb. It received many comments especially from a few of my friends that know what a bespoke suit is!
Not only did you make a beautiful suit, you did it with such style, charm and pulled out all the stops to have it ready in a tight deadline. I am and will remain very grateful.

Being a novice to the bespoke “experience” I very much appreciated having explained to me the options available on every aspect of my suit and benefitting from years of experience. I knew I could always rely on Geoff to keep me right when I didn’t make the right choice initially.....and he was always right! S&H exudes a great family atmosphere, takes enormous pride in providing personal service, has an absolute wealth of tailoring experience and delivers supreme workmanship.......all in all, a real pleasure!

My first tailoring experience was a true joy from beginning to end. The process ran very smoothly so I always felt 100% confident that what was being produced would be something special. The family at Sousters always made me feel welcome. Scott in particular, was meticulous in his measurements and very careful with his recommendations about how it should look. I first visited the shop with very little idea about suits and how mine might look but with their excellent knowhow and advice I now have a beautiful suit and a better knowledge of tailoring to boot!

The suit itself looked stunning and felt fantastic, I really did not think it was possible for me to feel that good in a suit! From the moment I slid into it on the day of the wedding I was filled with confidence. Throughout the day I had many great compliments along with questions about the tailoring and where it came from. It really is a sharp suit that fitted the bill perfectly, thankyou chaps!

Hacking jacket has been worn twice already - and GREATLY admired and I do mean ............wow, beautiful jacket ....... Hope to wear other one this weekend to party!

I have had so many compliments on the garments you have made me - you have no idea what it is like to stand in front of clients and they say 'That is a beautiful suit/jacket. Who made it for you?' No one has ever asked me that before. Even better, when in Glasgow this week everyone of the clients said I had lost weight - they have known me a while so we have this type of rapport - it has to be the tailoring because I sure haven' t. Now, can you make me 10 years younger?!

"Geoff, few things I invest in give me a sense of real true enjoyment, a feeling of "significant" satisfaction, one not born out of a need to impress, but a genuine inner feeling of pleasure, the suit you made fulfilled one of these rare spots, tipping the scales of the event's enjoyment."

Ian Blakeman, Murreysville, USA

"Just a quick note to say that both bespoke suits were excellent and so comfortable. I am in big trouble now, how can I ever buy off the rack again!"

Mr Erland Bassoe, Norway

"Love the banter, love the quality, and love the fact that you tune into your customers wants and needs so quickly".

Mr Jim Bottoms, Bedfordshire

"I always feel like I'm going somewhere special when I come to you, it has an air of exclusivity".

Mr Adrian Greaves, Buckinghamshire

"When I first came into your shop I only had a vague idea of what I wanted, but with your knowledge and excellent advice the finished dinner jacket exceeded my wildest expectations, thanks again!!!"

Mr Tony Rudkin, Bedfordshire

"Your expertise is matched only by your service and advice, I felt that I was in safe hands from the moment I stepped into your premises. A rare skill indeed!"

Mr Adam Williams, London

"I think the atmosphere is excellent and if everyone in my office was half as polite as yourselves I'd be a billionaire by now!!!"

Mr James Ballard, London

"Geoff, just a big thank you for my suits. I'm absolutely delighted with them. They are superb. See you when I next require a suit"

Mr Francis Fromson, Newcastle Upon Tyne
