Smyth & Gibson

Made to measure shirts have, alas, no place in my life but cups of good coffee always do, so when I realised there was a coffee shop upstairs in Smyth and Gibson I was consumed with curiosity.
LIke the shop, upstairs offers excellent quality and finishing certainly in the sleek wood panelled surroundings. Amongst the clientele were people who might well avail of the clothes in here.
The quality of the coffee that I ordered was of a similar standard, though relatively more affordable. For a change from usual hurry scurry city café atmosphere the coffee shop is pleasantly restful and a good bet for a civilised snack lunch discussing business plans perhaps…

Smith and Gibson are a shirtmakers located on the way into the city centre, just after Deanes and the Ulster Hall. Their shirts are made to measure, and they have any range of styles, colours, ties etc
They ran an offer in the paper a few months back and my Dad thought he’d take advantage of a voucher to be spent here. Anyways, we went in, the nice, well dressed fella came over to us, showed us around the shop and then did his wee measuring and suchlike on my Dad.
I pondered around looking at shirts, some costing more than I earn in a week, but all of them looked really good and really fashionable. My Dad is under the impression everyone should have a good shirt, like a proper one that is expensive and stuff, not like a Primark one that has all the buttons.
Anyways, they made the shirt exactly the way Dad wanted, and rang when it was available for collection. The shirt was perfect and the service was top notch.
The only downside is that the price of some of the shirts is quite high which is a disappointment because I wont be able to afford them for some time.
But the quality and service cannot be faulted.
Excellent
