Support team were extremely helpful...

Support team were extremely helpful and suggested adjusting delivery date to allow for changes in measurements. Got suits out to all of our addresses and we're great and getting things adjusted. Made the whole process much easier and less stressful. Really quick responses too which made the whole experience great.

Hiya Jonathan, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. They are gold dust for an online business like ours so we are very grateful indeed.

Glad the Rathbones Tailor experience was a good one, and we hope to hear from you again for a tuxedo come silly season!

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service! Really clear instructions for both measuring and the process steps. We had to make changes to a jacket, shirt and trouser sizing and within 2 days had received the new set - that fitted beautifully. High quality tuxedo and able to choose the choice of handkerchief colour to match in with wife's outfit colour. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Highland Suit Rental

I rented a kilt and Jacket from Rathbones and I have difficulty in finding fault with the service or the actual items.
The return was really easy as well.
I would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend black tie rental

Would highly recommend this rental service. I made an order for the Michael Kors tuxedo which promptly arrived a few days later. When the order arrived the jacket was a perfect fit on the shoulders but a bit too small in arm length. I sent an email to their customer service team, and a extremely helpful employee (shoutout to Megan) very quickly replied and exchanged a number of emails with me discussing the options and which replacement size would be the best fit. The replacement arrived within 48 hours of the initial delivery and fit much better.

Overall I was really happy with the service provided and the quality of the tuxedo as well.

My one suggestion would be to improve the size guide online by measuring each jacket size and listing the chest, arm and body measurements to help people select the right choice first time.

Aidan you legend. Thank you very much for the review and feedback. We know Megan is a gem but great to hear it from our customers as well!

Thank you for the sleeve length feedback. It's something we are looking at currently and how best to show on the site.

We hope to hear from you in the not too distant future when an event calls for a bit of dressing up! Until then, go well!

Excellent experience. They helped me with a short notice requirement and did a great job. They were very patient with my questions, and although I was sceptical of doing things via Whatapp, it worked brilliantly. Thank you again!

Morning suit rental

I rented a morning suit from Rathbone’s for my son’s wedding. The suit arrived on time and was very smart.
The jacket was slightly too big, but Rathbone’s immediately sent me an extra jacket at a smaller size in time for the wedding.
They have provided throughout an efficient professional service, which I have been very impressed with, and will definitely be using them again.

Arrived in plenty of time

Arrived in plenty of time, super helpful customer service - Would use again, great suits, clean and in near new condition.

The only negative is they use DPD as the courier service, they said they missed us but they never tried to come to the office. So I had to collect it from a pickup center.

Martin! Love to hear the suit and the service were up to scratch.

99/100 DPD are the bees knees. However I hear your pain on the failed attempt of delivery. We do feed all of these instances back to DPD in the hope that improvements are made.

Hopefully, if you use Rathbones Tailor again, DPD will play ball and deliver the service you and we both pay for!

All the best and have a fab rest of the summer!

The customer service is fantastic. I ended up having to tweak sizes, etc.. but nothing is too much trouble. If I need to hire a suit again, I would use them without hesitation.

Absolutely brilliant customer service!

I needed some help tweaking the size of my suit (I'm fatter than anticipated) and the team at Rathbones were able to get me an expedited suit out to an address that was on the way to my event. The whole process was really smooth and I'll definitely be using them again.

A Waste of Time and Money

Our box was to be delivered on Monday, June 19 with instructions that we must have it in hand no later than Thursday, June 22 in time for Royal Ascot June 23. It was attempted delivery on Friday, June 16. On Wednesday June 21, I was asked for a local number which I provided. On Thursday, June 22 I was told it would be delivered by 10:30 AM. I then get word that it wouldn’t be delivered until Friday June 23. It arrived too late for our use, as we departed early to setup at Ascot to receive our guests. I had to go out and purchase a suit on Thursday after we got word that it would not arrive in time. And I told DPD to return the item which they would not do.

When trying to return the box that arrived late, it was most difficult because no local DPD would accept such a large box. The return label code and link provided by DPD did not work so I had to purchase a new return label.

I have requested a refund several times with no proper response.

All in all it was a very expensive fiasco that I do not recommend to anyone.

Hi Tina, Jack here. I totally understand your frustration at the events of two weeks ago. I won't go into wild depth, but will leave a little detail on what happened here should any future customers wish to know how we wound up with a 1 star review.

Unfortunately the two failed delivery attempts were due to an incorrect address being input at time of purchase. After the second failed attempt that is when we asked for your friend's UK number who was hosting you. They confirmed the correct postcode to which we then had the suit delivered at 09.36 the following morning. The expedited delivery and replacement suit were at no extra cost.

Reviewing the team's interactions with yourself, I'm proud of their communication and efforts. The outcome is disappointing all round. We never want to see someone let down by Rathbones Tailor, and we love to see our customers enjoying the suits we provide. Although the suit wasn't one of ours, your partner did look fantastic in the morning suit you did manage to source for him.

You and I have spoken directly about next steps so will revert back to email communications.

All the best from myself and the team. Jack
