My son is a serious devotee of menswear. While on holiday in Northern Ireland, he ran out of clean…read moreshirts, and we went to several places that didn't have his size (14 inch neck) or an XS slim. I confess that my feet gave out, so I went back to our hotel. 40 minutes later, my husband sent an SOS--"we might be in trouble-- please come here." Dutifully, I put on my shoes, trotted to North and saw the trouble was potential bankruptcy. Because everything in the store is top notch and well worth its asking price. My purpose there was to rein in purchases. Instead I saw a gorgeous claret colored tweed overcoat, pulled it out, and wouldn't you know it fit my son in the shoulders perfectly. The fellow in the shop when we were there -- Turbo --was amazing. Honestly--just keep prodding him to learn more about how the store is stocked and the garments are made. He and his partner buy lovely hats, belts, luggage, and they design gorgeous shirts, waistcoats, jackets, suits, and overcoats. He even showed us a photo of the master weaver who creates their tweed. Now you are thinking that you can't possibly afford anything here. In fact, we found the prices remarkably fair. I have paid more money for lesser quality garments. My only regret is that we didn't have more time in Belfast -- and of course that I didn't think until they were closed to ask about how to purchase and tailor a coat to fit me. Needless to say, we will be watching their website, and next time we are in Belfast, this remarkable shop will be our first stop.

Smith and Gibson are a shirtmakers located on the way into the city centre, just after Deanes and…read morethe 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

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 cafe atmosphere the coffee shop is pleasantly restful and a good bet for a civilised snack lunch discussing business plans perhaps...

I am a complete novice when it comes to suits and so to be so helpful and knowledgable made the process very simple. One of the nice touches about Bogart is that if I were to put some wait on over the Xmas period an alteration would be free. In my search or a suit I tried House of Fraser. It would have been a more costly option and I was not convinced by their knowledge of what was best. Alterations would have come at more if they were needed and was not an addition to the service there. Bogart know suits and I won't be going anywhere else for mine from now on.

However, as SD Kells is a well-known family brand, I felt inclined even to go in and take a look. The suits are terrific in that you know if you buy one, you will (a) look good and (b) will save it for only the most special occasion. As the SD Kells at home is famed for selling school uniforms, it was nice for me to go into a grown-up SD Kells which doesn't have my horrible blazer advertised in the window. Although the clothes in this shop are very nice, (even the casual things are really good which for a dressy shop is quite surprising) but they are really pricey and at £200 a suit, it is not the sort of place you would go to to get suits for work. It is really expensive. If you are looking for a particularly nice suit, this should be the first stop on your journey. You are bound to find something to "suit" you (I apologise)

So if you need a few inches off the waist or an inch or two off the length they are happy to advise and help. They also do a great selection of shirts and ties, with some being a bit whacky and some a little bit more formal. I would suggest if you are looking for any smart wear you try here first.
