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?

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.

But what if you're trying something on and the size isn't right and you want a different size? Or what if like me you want to have a quick browse again and often make a couple of trips to a fitting room in one visit? Personally on my most recent visit I just couldn't be bothered and left without buying anything! I also noticed that the price of their knitwear (sweaters & cardigans) is higher than usual. Considering most knitwear doesn't wash very well I sure as hell wouldn't be forking out €50 for a cardigan. Think I'll go get 3 for that price from penny's!! Sort it out H&M cos you were a firm favourite of mine for a while.

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.

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!)

It's definitely targeting the wiser, greyer gentleman in society, and you might want to have a few shillings on you, but if you're the type who goes shopping for good quality staple clothes once every year or two, then Frewen & Aylward is the place. Here's a random fact, one of the Irish Dragons from the Dragons' Den, Niall O'Farrell, started his empire here in the sock department. I don't think he has anything to do with Frewen & Aylward anymore, but he does own Black Tie and a few Henry Jermyn shops round n' abouts. I really like this mini-Arnotts for men, it's managed to move with the times and remain popular, where many fail, and winning the long-windedly titled '2008 Drapers Award for Mens Retailer of the Year in the UK and Ireland' in the process ain't bad. All this plus attentive and helpful staff garner a very well deserved four stars for Frewen & Aylward.
