Absolutley recommend 10 stars!!

I have nothing but praise for this company. From the start of the ordering process, navigating the website, and even correcting my mistake with the delivery date, they were outstanding in changing the day and ensuring the suit arrived on time. I was initially hesitant since I hadn’t used them before, but I would highly recommend them to anyone! Returning the suit was just as easy—packing everything back into the provided bags and box, arranging the return online, and dropping it off at the nearest DPD drop-off point was completely stress-free. A big thank you to Megan for helping with the delivery issue!

Not great.

Suit "delivered" by DPD. Ordered with their recommended time frame to allow for fit replacement. However, this was not delivered until 2 days before the event. Shirt did not fit, jacket barely fitted but did not have any option but to buy another shirt and wear the jacket large.

The box in which the Suit arrived was very flimsy and not fit for purpose considering the importance of the contents. This was further aggravated by the way DPD dumped the package the outside block on the path next to the main door leaving it open to weather damage and possible theft. When informing rathbones about this they seemed uninterested with an "oh dear" attitude. The Suit also did not come with a return label so had to request a QR code from them to return the item.

Overall poor experience. Albeit mostly DPD to fault, but you need to consider better packaging and definitely an alternative delivery partner.

Would not recommend nor use again.

Hi Steven

Firstly, I am sorry you did not have a great experience with us. Our every intention at Rathbones Tailor is for customers to enjoy wearing their suit and have a stress free experience so to hear this was not the case is really gutting to us.

In regards to the DPD delivery, we are sorry this was delayed and that the box was left outside your door, I appreciate this caused delay with requesting size swaps and this is truly disappointing that this has let us down.

Since seeing this review, I have spoken with our warehouse manager to make sure our boxes are always handled with care by DPD as I appreciate the box arriving looking flimsy is not great first impression.

Again, we are truly sorry your experience with us was not a great one. I know you have said you would not rent with us again but we would love to redeem ourselves the next time you are in need of a suit. If you do, make sure to reach out to our customer service with plenty of time and we can have one of our stylists help with sizing and make sure this does not happen again.

All the best

Suit too small

The website was easy to use and the suit was delivered as indicated, however the suit was too small. I had measured myself as accurately as possible but was disappointed that the suit especially the trousers did not fit. The trousers were not able to be adjusted on the waste so I have had to return unused.

Hi Brian

Firstly thanks so much for leaving a review and glad to hear you found our website easy to use.

I am gutted the suit was too small and wish we had time to send size swaps out for you! We usually suggest choosing a delivery date that is 5 days prior to the event so we can help with sizing and send replacements out for you.

Next time you are in need of a suit, pop me an email and I would happily assist with sizing to make sure your next suit fits like a glove!

All the best and thanks again

I ordered a tux for my sons' leaving ball, however I ordered it slightly too early for the event leaving over 7 days for the return. I contacted Rathbones to delay the delivery but they quickly responded to say that we could have the suit for an extra day. The suit was beautiful and he looked fantastic in it. Returning the suit was super easy too!

Great experience - Royal Enclosure hire for Royal Ascot 2925

Our first hire for this year’s Royal Ascot and the service we received was amazing.
The Morning suit, waistcoat, shirt, tie/pocket square & top hat were delivered by DPD well in advance giving us plenty of time to make sure everything was there and fitted OK etc. (it was and did.)
The quality of everything exceeded our expectations.
So easy to return via DPD afterwards.
Will definitely be hiring again for Royal Ascot next year.

Best experience ever!

I’m normally fair and can be harsh on reviews, my overall comment for Rathbones Tailors would be FAULTLESS.
I’m so happy I came across this suit hire company.
Firstly Megan was amazing and every business needs a Megan, communication was speedy and so reassuring. Thank you so much Megan for everything.
Suit was first class and the sizes were perfect.
Couldn’t recommend Rathbones enough.
Really really first class.

Suits me !

What more could you want? The suit arrived on time all ironed and ready of course I had the right measurements and then after the event I used the box it came in to drop it off at Argos for DPD to pickup using a bar code I generated from their webpage via my phone. I even got a receipt for the return and a confirmation email from Rathbones.

Very responsive customer service

Ordered on Wednesday for a Saturday Event.

Was a bit reticent to order online on short notice but it seemed like a good choice vs going to Jermyn St etc.

DPD failed to make delivery on Friday (classic), but Rathbones were very responsive on WhatsApp and managed to get DPD to drop it at a collection point same day!

High-Quality Clothing, Value for Money and Excellent Service

I hired a morning suit from Rathbones for a wedding yesterday, and the whole experience was great. Clothing is high-quality and arrived early. Rathbones did make an error in sending the wrong size waistcoat, but they were super-responsive in sending out the correct size in plenty of time. Excellent service all around, with good value for money.

The suit looked great and arrived earlier than expected. Megan is a credit to the rathbones team, she provided excellent customer service and made sure everything went well and orders came in time when I had to change suits. I will definitely be using again.

Great Customer Service

I used Rathbones Tailor for the first time and had a great experience from a customer service point of view. I did have a little issue with the sizes of my suit but the team was very quick to respond and offer solutions. I ordered both a "try on" service, and later the final suit and Megan from customer service was very responsive whenever I had a question/issue. It's easy to order and return. Follow their advice on ordering ahead of time in case you need to return and adjust sizes.

Thank you so much at Rathbones for everything

Thank you so much at Rathbones for reacting so quickly to my mistakes with measuring myself. The product was super clean, great quality, delivered on time and exchanged with ease - I had to get a replacement jacket and shirt within 24 hours, which Rathbones accommodated with ease, and to a different address. So far as I can tell, Rathbones (Meghan), go out of their way to make things happen where other businesses may have told me I was too late or it was to hard to help. Cannot recommend highly enough...

Simple stylish suit hire for Groom

I hired the Gregson 3-piece suit for my wedding and couldn't have been happier.
The suit was incredibly comfortable and stylish. The process of hiring is really simple with a very helpful "how to measure yourself video".
Even when I made a mistake in measuring myself and ended up with trousers which were too wide, the customer service to respond quickly to my contact and get a new set of trousers to me within 2 working days was fantastic! (Tip, compare your measurement against trousers you own already to double check sizing)

Perfect customer experience

Perfect customer experience! I got married in the US in December so had to have my family bring out 7 tailcoat rentals which felt like a risky decision. Megan answered all my questions and really helped us make sure the measurements were all correct before I hit order. They were high quality tailcoat sets and fitted my groomsmen and me perfectly. I was worried something would go wrong but going the experience was so seamless from start to finish. We'd researched a few companies and went with Rathbones and couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

What a great company!

What a great company!

I hired a 2 piece Tuxedo and shirt+accessory package from Rathbones Tailors for a black tie event.
The website was very easy to navigate. The size guides were easy to understand and true to size as it turned out.
The tuxedo arrived promptly on the day they said it would be delivered.
The tuxedo itself was immaculate and fit like a glove. I felt a million quid in it.
It all came in a suit bag, in a box with clear instructions on how to return it.
The whole experience from start to finish was stress free and easy. All in all, 10/10.
