Although we ladies may have a reputation for spending hours in the bathroom and in every store in town painstakingly searching for that all-important outfit for a special occasion, it’s always been a less cumbersome procedure for men who just need to buy a suit– and it’s about to get even easier! Fashion conscious men around the country are embracing the arrival of a brand new website which permits them to shop for a stylish top-of-the-range dress suit at the scroll of a mouse!

www.dickybow.ie, was launched in June this year and is a handy online store that allows men to purchase tuxedos for everything from debs, graduation days and weddings without even leaving the house. Users can take away the worry and time-consuming ritual of shopping for their dress suit by choosing the specific size, style and price of their outfit all on-line.

The user-friendly site promises to find the perfect outfit to suit your individual requirements and have it delivered to your home in time for that special occasion.

It represents, says proprietor Brian Terry, a whole new generation of shoppers. “We recognised an obvious gap in the market when it comes to buying tuxedos, with some men complaining about the fact that they were expensive and had to be returned within a certain period of time. Using dickybow.ie will mean an end to that frantic dash back to the rental shop on a Monday morning, not to mention the worry of losing a hefty rental deposit,” says Cork native Brian. “Many people don’t like the idea of renting a suit yet are reluctant to spend a fortune buying one. We’ve priced DickyBow Tuxedos to suit all budgets and ours are typically around one-third cheaper than retail outlets.”

dickybow.ie offers a complete black tie package for just €189.00, including black trousers, jacket, wing-collared dress shirt, bow tie and cuff links. The current average 2006 Irish high street retail price for a similar, genuine Tuxedo suit, is around €350.00 and as DickyBow Tuxedos are brand new, you will be the first person to wear it, it will be perfectly clean and unworn and you don’t have to hand it back, making it an investment for all those future social engagements.

Brian predicts that the service will appeal to a wide range of people, including black-tie wedding guests, society ball-goers, busy professionals and Debutantes.

Customers can expect to have their suit delivered to their address within three working days and can check the status of their order at any time.
