It has been sooooo long since I have written about life here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear in Huddersfield, we have been so busy with so many projects, buying, sales and offers that I have found it hard to get the time - lame excuse I know but its true!

Life on the shop floor of a Huddersfield Menswear Store has been quite good despite the recession and I have a good deal of things to tell you about.

We have had an interesting time supplying a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE with over 125 shirts and ties for the filming of the latest in instalment of the film - but I will post more of that later,

So for now, I will sign off and be back very soon to let you know about what has been happening on the shopfloor.

Since a Cruise has become the ‘must have’ holiday for many over the recent years, sales of Dinner Suits and Tuxedo’s have increased as well. However, as more and more people book 2nd, 3rd and more cruises, we are continually being asked the question, “I have a Dinner Suit and was wondering if there was something a little different?’

With this in mind and the fact that the up and coming Party Season is all most on us, we have bought a number of ranges that are definitely different!

Black & Silver Paisley design Dinner Suit

We have Velvet Dinner Jackets in Black, Purple and (although as we go to press we have sold half of them) a Black/Silver Lurex Stripe Jacket.

Complementing the velvet Dinner Jackets we also have 2 wet look, metallic looking jackets that would also be great for Stage wear or Prom Wear.
