Menswear

Clothes maketh the man – an expression that bee around since Roman times – or at least since the 16th century, according to which history book you read. One thing the expression proves without a doubt is that style never goes out of fashion.

But here at Paul Howard we recognise that fashion doesn’t stand still. So we provide more options than ever before for men who want to express themselves through their choice of clothes. Whether it’s high quality tailored clothes or elegant casual wear that you need, then make Paul Howard your destination of choice.

For the person for whom quality and style are fundamental, we offer a comprehensive range of tailored suits and jackets from top names including Atelier Torino, Magee and Bernhardt.

We provide a huge choice of smart and stylish casual wear to match your individual lifestyle and taste. The list of progressive-classic designer label ranges we stock speaks for itself: Henri Lloyd, Campione, Blue Willi’s, Gardeur, Meyer, John Smedley, Eterna, Alan Paine and many more. With so much choice it is easy to create co-ordinated outfits that complement your own individual style.

A full range of accessories is also available to complete your wardrobe. These range from the basic – underwear and socks – to the essentials such as ties, bow ties, belts, cufflinks and braces. There is even a choice of trouser presses to help keep your clothes looking great!

Formal Hire

Whether it is for the importance of your wedding, the excitement of Ascot, or even tea with the Queen, there are times when it’s hard to justify purchasing a brand new outfit – especially when it may never be worn again. The answer is Formal Hire.

Formal Hire from Paul Howard is one of the most comprehensive Hirewear services available.

Our Formal Hire service includes:

Whatever the occasion, we are sure we have the perfect outfit for you

Weddings

Our wedding service offers much more than just Formal Hire. We co-ordinate the whole process for you and keep you informed how your party is progressing.

This ensures that everyone, from the groom and his best man through to the ushers, are measured and receive their matching outfits on time and in exactly the right size. Knowing that the all-important outfits are sorted is just one thing less for you to worry about in the run up to the big day.

There is no need to worry, either, about finding the right style for the wedding. We have a huge range of both traditional and contemporary wedding suits to choose from. And, of course, we have all the vital accessories available. So you can ensure you are stylishly dressed from top to toe – yes, silk top hats and leather shoes are available for you to hire – along with waistcoats, ties wing collar shirts, cravats and cufflinks.

Black Tie

Wondering what to wear when that evening black tie invitation arrives for a formal banquet, graduation ball or sportsman’s dinner? Choose from our wide selection of evening dinner suits, complementary shirts and bow ties all available to hire.

These have fabric details and quality that you would expect from Paul Howard. And being available to hire, rather than buy, ensures you sport the latest look when you attend the black tie event.

*A complete set to children’s sizes is also available with our Formal Hire service.

Made to Order

Made-to-Order is the most traditional type of tailoring there is. It particularly appeals to those of you wanting to express your own individuality, preferences and taste when extending your wardrobe.

Our Made-to-Order service is done in conjunction with two of Europe’s leading tailoring houses – Bernhardt Fashions and Magee Clothing. By working with two different companies we can offer a range of different styles and fits that few others can match.

Traditional is may be, but stylish Made-to-Order garments are very much up to the minute. The fabrics and styles are modern and fresh. The clothes are individually cut using the latest computer guided laser cutting and sewing technology. Your order is transmitted direct to the makers via a custom online platform where we can also track your order progress.

It really is surprisingly quick and easy to create your own unique garment which is cut to your shape and matches your style. Browse our cloth patterns, see the wide range of linings and let us demonstrate the many different styles and design features available.

Just 28 days later you could be wearing a suit that truly reflects your style and individuality.

Tailored – a unique new Travelling Tailor service designed for leading professionals

Appearances matter. Whether you’re meeting a new client for the first time or someone you’ve known for years, what you’re wearing affects their judgement of you. Tailored has been specially designed for you to portray yourself in the best possible way with the least amount of hassle.

The success of your clothing is created through the details, craftsmanship, fabric and fit. These are the four factors that Made-to-Order garments from Tailored excel in.

All our shoes are made from the finest materials, whether that is Tumble Grain Leather, Calf Leather or Hair Sheep Lining, and we have a selection of different sole units (leather or rubber) and fittings available. We’re sure we have the perfect fitting for you.

We have picked our shoe range from the finest collections across Europe with an acknowledged heritage in shoemaking. We based our choice on just three considerations: comfort, style and performance.
