Most if these nice bits of attire have come from Lynches and include my newest acquisitions, two exceptionally nice cravats which were on sale - down from 65 \euro to about 30. joy. the big thing to note, even with the ties is that the quality is far superior to anything bought in places like tie rack - tremendous. Lynches is a bit old-school and honestly that's not a bad thing, the service is great, the prices not excessive and the quality of the clothes always good. what more does a guy need?

"Hey dude. We've some great new check shirts, man, and some amazing Talked Heads t-shirts, I love them." "Get the fucking boat with your check shirts. And it's TalkING Heads, man." Cue Kennedy & McSharry. They have everything you could need in terms of classically cut suits, dress shirts, casual jackets, raincoats, knitwear, hats, scarves, and gloves. It is relatively expensive, but all of the highest of quality and made to last. Well? Well. What are you after? Ah, I need a couple of suits, some jumpers and a coat. No bother, we've loads that will suit you. Cool, nothing ridiculous though. I like classic cuts. No problem, try these. Perfect. They're all great. You'll take them? I will. And the coat? Yep. Great. These are all half off at the moment and we'll do the alterations for nothing. Good man, see you Friday. Ahhhhhh.... Another years shopping done. In twenty minutes. Kennedy and McSharry is a gem.

It had been far, far, far too long since I bought some decent rags and so I took the morning off…read moreand, against my will, dragged my sorry baggie jeaned, worn jumpered, and ripped jacketed ass to Michael Barries. To say I have grown to hate buying clothes is an understatement. The sales staff I encounter are generally those over eager 12 year old boy type wannabe hipsters wearing gimpy little cardigans, achingly tight jeans, slip ons, and throwback t-shirts from bands they don't remember. This irritates me profoundly. Michael Barries is the antithesis to this. As I walked in I was greeted by a normal human being who asked what I was after, gave me a few suggestions, pointed me in the right direction and then simply left me be to browse. The selection ranges from casual pub wear to suits, jackets, and ties. Everything I saw was geared firmly towards understated, old school men's style. If you're after the metro look this probably isn't for you. After a few minutes my amateur shopper status must have been evident as he wandered over and made a few suggestions based on my measurements and what I was looking for. Much to my satisfaction they all fitted perfectly. Happy days. In addition to what I was buying I also had my eye on a jacket, which was admittedly a little more expensive than I would normally be comfortable with. I tried it on and as I was buying quite a bit, normal human being sales dude said he'd knock €200 off it. I gave him a lower cash price for the lot, he agreed and the deal was done. If like me you are a person who will shop for quite a bit once or twice a year, who likes classic men's style, and who doesn't want clothes which make an ironic statement or highlight your borrowed nostalgia for 80s synth pop, then this is the place for you. I can now happily say I like shopping, albeit infrequently.

It seems everyone is doing an outlet store of some description these days - something to do with…read morethe recession I guess - but its always nice to find one that a guy will find interesting; lets be honest most of these places are aimed squarely at the female of the species. Bests always seem to have a sale on in their shops in town, I rarely go in because really, if you are doing a sale 365 days a year does that mean there's anything actually on sale!? Maybe the Outlet store is the same but it seems to me that prices are actually pretty good ad the quality of the stuff is not too shabby either (though I probably still wouldn't get a suite there!)

I'd read two glowing reviews on Yelp so I was pretty excited to check out Retro at the George's…read moreStreet Arcade. But, when I got there I was stricken immediately with disappointment. I was expecting some lovely vintage inspired frocks. What I found was a store I would call goth girl heaven. There were lots of corsets, short skirts with crinoline that peaked out the bottom, striped thigh-high socks, plaid pants with attached straps, bells and whistles, and even velvet bell-sleeved atrocities that looked exactly like the way I pictured adult witches wearing when I was 12. Yes, amongst all this was a healthy selection of retro-inspired dresses. They were much more 40's inspired than 50s or 60s, with the main thrust being the nu-pin-up look. I will say that I LOVE the pin-up culture and style of dress, and this would be a great place for modern day Betties to come find their wardrobes. But overall I felt the shop was just way too costumey and not wearable enough for the average gal.

Great concept store in a cool area of town…read more Yeah, the concept may confuse some Dubliners at first as there's nothing else similar to it in the city...is it a café? Is it a boutique? It's both - and it works pretty well. I'm no fashion guru, but my other (more fashion-savvy) half came in and was impressed by the clothes & jewelry on display - all unique pieces I think. I do love my coffee, and I can certainly say that the lads at Tamp & Stitch do it damn well. They use coffee beans from the brilliant Hasbean (who supply other quality coffee joints such as 3fe, Bro Hubbard, Cup, Fallon & Byrne, etc) - at the moment they're using beans from Brazil which are delicious, but I think they'll rotate depending on what's tasting good & what's fresh. The set-up reminds me of proper Italian espresso bars - it's not a place to go and lounge about in for hours, but rather it's a real high-quality coffee experience (at a price that's actually cheaper than other [lesser] cafés nearby) So, although there's plenty of competition in the area, I see no reason why this place can't be a great success - well worth stopping by to give it a go.
