Above expectations
I visited Gieves & Hawkes looking for a double cuffed white shirt for my wedding. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledable. They are not snooty in any way which I can pick-up pretty quick being a Geordie living in Chelsea.
They have a great range of suits, shirts and ties. If you are looking for something for a special occasion I would definitely recommend them as they will spend a lot of time with you to help you find the right item.
The one thing that annoys me however whenever I try to buy a smart shirt is that they never let you try on the actual shirt as its always folded up. The result is that you are given something in the same size which looks absolutely nothing like what you are looking to buy - think purple, woven checks when you are after a crisp white shirt. Luckily in Gieves they didn't have any "open" shirts in my size so I got to try on the real thing which is so much better.
