McCalls provided the groom’s Marc Darcy navy tweed suit and styled the groomsmen perfectly. Roy’s advice and eye for detail made all the difference – from the emerald velvet bow tie to the matching shoes and ties. Everyone loved the look and we had so many compliments on the day. Highly recommend McCalls for wedding styling.

Brought the kids for school uniforms and had fantastic service from a young fella who was very knowledgeable and offered plenty of advice. Everyone was measured up properly and we left with well fitting uniforms for all the kids. Another lady was running the floor ensuring that families were being attended to.

Fabulous experience this afternoon while taking my son in to be fitted for a suit. Nothing was too much trouble and the gentleman who was dealing with us was so knowledgeable, advising my son every step of the way even down to choice of tie and shoes. My son said he’s a customer for life now. Well done McCalls menswear!

I had an excellent experience at McCall’s and would highly recommend it for suit shopping. They have a great range of two and three piece suits, shoes and ties. I was served by Fraser, who is very knowledgeable and helpful without being at all pushy or phony. Thank you!
