After visiting a few suits shops, the knowledge and professional service received by Jez was hands and heels above what I have experienced before. The team here genuinely care about fitting you for the big day and making sure you're happy with every aspect! For the quality of suit, prices are extremely reasonable! I couldn't reccomend Astares any higher. Thanks again!Response from the ownerJoe, it was a pleasure meeting you and your other half yesterday. Thank you so much for traveling over to see us.

My purchase was also good value for money.Response from the ownerHay Chip, Thank you so much for the review and for the 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your shopping experience with us, most importantly though, I'm so glad we lived up to expectations🤩👌. Thanks again. Jez & Ruth John B.John B. ★★★★★ What a fantastic Menswear shop!. Buy a suit nowadays is mostly done online. Astares is a well stocked menswear shop catering for all sizes, and allows you to try before you buy. Forget the larger chain stores, Astares gives you the personal, professional and knowledgeable touch which has disappeared in most shops. I would wholeheartedly recommend Astares, I just wish I had found it sooner rather than hunting around other menswear shops who weren't really interested about your needs and requirements, especially if you don't meet the standard sizes.Response from the ownerThank you so much for the review John. It was lovely chatting to you and your other half, I enjoyed both your company and I'm so pleased you found a great suit with us. Thank you so much for supporting our business, for the review and the 5 stars ✔👍. Wishing you both all the best and hope to see you again soon for your next suit. Kindest regards Jez & Ruth Rebecca S.Rebecca S. ★★★★★ Went in to find my Fiancés suite for our upcoming wedding, and found Astares through Google. Went in as I would rather go to a local, small business then a large company. Went in with my mum and dad, as he wanted to have a look and possibly get a new suite. When we walked in Jez welcomed us with a large smile and warm friendly demeaner. He let us have a look though the options and pick out ones we wanted to try, then offered advice and assistance when it came to my fiancé trying on the suites. After trying on a couple of suites, and choosing the perfect Waistcoat, and tie to match the suite and colour scheme of the wedding, he measured my fiancé up and gave his recommendation of what needed to be altered, and also gave us a great recommendation so we could get it altered to be perfect!Jez had a great sense of humour, especial with my dad, who likes to have his suites on the more roomy side for comfort, but was professional, not pushy and all round fantastic at his job.Ruth as well did a great job at steaming and checking the suite over to make sure there were no marks, damaged area or anything that might be off with the suite.All in all, if you want to get a suite for a special occasion, and a suite you can wear again, I would highly recommend Astares, and if they ever do women's suites I will be in there like a bat out of hell, because the suite my partner has is fantastic, and I would love to get myself one!Response from the ownerRebecca, thank you so very much for taking the time to write us such a lovely review, we really appreciate it! I am so pleased you both enjoyed the suit shopping experience 👌🤩 We hope you both have the most magical wedding day when it comes round 💒💕 Always feel free to send us some pics of you both, we love seeing couples in their best on their special day together. Thank you for supporting us as a local business, it means so much to us. Thanks for the 5 stars too 😁⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the very best to you both, Jez & Ruth Gosport & Fareham District F.Gosport & Fareham District F. ★★★★★ Hey guys.

Jez & Ruth Helena J.Helena J. ★★★★★ Couldn't Ask for a Better Suit Shopping Experience at Astares Menswear!My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Astares Menswear in Havant, and it all comes down to the incredible service we received from Jez! From the moment we walked in, Jez was incredibly helpful and polite.The range of suits and ties at Astares is truly excellent, they have something for every style, and the quality of the garments is amazing . But what really sets Astares apart is the exceptional customer service, and Jez and Ruth are fantastic. Jez's knowledge of the suit and ties was excellent, providing numerous tie options to match our wedding colours.When we first arrived we had the shop to ourselves but Jez was the perfect amount of attentive without being overwhelming, there was no pressure at all. By Jez’s recommendation we left the shop to take a break and have a think, with no expectation from him for us to come back if we weren’t ready. When we returned after a quick coffee the shop was much busier but Jez’s demeanour never changed, maintaining his polite and attentive manner to all the customers.Overall, our experience at Astares Menswear was absolutely lovely. If you're looking for a suit, we highly recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed!Response from the ownerWOW! Helena, Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a lovely review, its very kind of you. We are so pleased you guys found "The Suit" with us.

You served my parents last Sunday, my dad needed a suit to match my mum’s dress to wear to the Phantom of the Opera in February. My dad is so happy with the suit and they have not stopped talking about how wonderful you were.

Thank you so much, it’s wonderful to see them both so happy!Response from the ownerKathleen, thank you so much for writing this review.

I spent a good hour or so in the shop, trying on multiple suits, although the shop was busy I was made to feel like the only person in there.Both Jez and Ruth were offering me great advice with matching my outfit with my woodland themed wedding. They also helped in finding me the perfect comfortable size.I returned close to the wedding date and collected my suit and it was a truly great experience, thank you so much!

He’s incredibly easy to get along with as well being very knowledgeable on suit fitting and style.The shop has a very relaxed atmosphere and we were able to try on everything at our leisure, mixing and matching waistcoats, ties etc with Jez offering advice and options along the way to make sure colours matched and everything fitted absolutely perfectly.

All the best Jez & Ruth Stephen B.Stephen B. ★★★★★ 5* Service from start to finish.I decided to purchase a cheaper suit elsewhere but was just not quite happy with the fit, nonetheless I planned to utilise it anyway but thought changing the waistcoat could help.I visited Astares and ended up coming away with a perfect suit, much higher quality and better fitting.I have since returned a couple of times and now Astares is my go to for anything suit related. Jez has a great deal of knowledge and even though they can be busy at time, I never felt rushed of pressured into purchasing. I would recommend Astares to anyont and shall continue to return!Response from the ownerThanks ever so much for your review Stephen and your continued support of our little business, it means a lot to us. Its lovely to hear that Astares has become your "Go too" place for suits 👌🙌😊 Thanks again for the 5 stars and taking the time to write such a nice review. All the best Jez & Ruth Dean S.Dean S. ★★★★★ Quality wedding suits and service. Found these guys on Instagram and their video’s really spoke to me. Well worth the 7 hour round trip down to Havant from Peterborough. Jez really knows his stuff and you can tell he really cares about your needs rather than how much money he can extract from your wallet. Had to exchange a few items for different sizes which was nice and easy. Would definitely recommend!!!! ThanksResponse from the ownerHi Dean,Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review. I still find it quite amazing that you travelled all of that way with your best man, to come to our little business for your wedding suits.

Jez was so professional, knowledgeable and honest, and made the whole experience of wedding suit shopping completely stress-free! At no point did we feel rushed or pressured. The shop itself is so charming and everything is laid out brilliantly - there is so much choice but we didn’t once feel overwhelmed. My husband and all his groomsmen thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were so pleased with their suits. We lost count of the amount of compliments they received - they looked amazing!When I visited with my dad (who finds suit shopping a bit intimidating), Jez made him feel completely relaxed from the minute we walked in the shop.We would absolutely recommend Astares!

Unreal service by Jez, who was knowledgable, so welcoming and his professionalism and charm made wedding suit shopping a real pleasure. He made it so easy to pick out the suit for me and my bestmen and even managed to get me a suit which fitted and doesn't require endless tailoring!!

We are so pleased you loved the service.We really do appreciate every one we receive and it helps us so much as a small business. Jez and Ruth Steven P.Steven P. ★★★★★ Update 01 October 2023:Google won't let me write another review but I can still edit this one, so here goes:Approximately eight months ago, I wrote my first review of Astares, based on my experience and I said I would be a returning customer. I did return, in person, and its a 220 mile around trip for me (and worth the effort), and met a fabulous couple running a small business with all the attributes that I described in my initial review.I have returned via email and phone since that in person visit, too. I've bought three piece suits, for various occasions now. Mainly weddings but sadly a funeral, too. Thanks to Astares tutorials, I've also learnt how to double windsor knot my ties! Another recent purchase, I sought their professional expertise on a suit they didn't actually stock. I sent photos of the suit, with a bit of childish colouring in for the tie and suit combo. The following working day, I received a genuine response, and photographs to aid the visualisation, supporting why I return as a customer. I replied with the following:"Seeing the photos you've provided proves the reason why you do what you do and I do what I do, for a living, and that's another reason why I like buying from you. The majority of other retailers would just look to close out a quick sale."I received an honest, professional perspective, from people I trust, based on my interactions with them, be it in person, email or over the phone. I will not go anywhere else for my suits or advice. Astares is a great business, owned and operated by a fantastic couple, with honest values, and the service is impeccable. Give them the opportunity to serve you, and I very much doubt you'll regret the decision.Original review below:Looking for a Marc Darcy three piece suit, I landed on Astares website. They had exactly what I was looking for in the presumed correct sizes. I placed my order 28 December, with little expectation of receiving delivery that week, due to the festivities and turbulent times that we find ourselves in! However, I received my delivery within 48 hours. Happy days and credit to Astares customer service and turn around time, and to their courier of choice. Now, the presumed correct sizes of blazer and waistcoat were flawed on my part, largely due to poor measuring skills and an older, inferior quality suit, in my possession! I called Astares within 30 minutes of trying on the garments, and left a voicemail for a return call. In less than 90 seconds, I've received that return call, from Jez, who did not hesitate to offer the support I was in need of due to inaccuracies on my part. Not only did Jez reserve the replacement garments for me, immediately, to avoid selling out of stock, between Jez and Ruth they have arranged same day collection from my home address to save me the hassle of a drop off, and for a bargain return sender fee. Within hours, the courier has collected, and the package is on its merry way back to Astares. Now, bear in mind new year celebrations, the return journey, the inspection, the rubber stamp of OK, and the sending out of replacement garments, that was all done and dusted in the space of six calendar days. Exceptional turn around, in my opinion, and a very happy customer. Astares, Jez and Ruth, exemplify communication, customer care, customer service and customer satisfaction to the highest standard, and I fully recommend you give them the opportunity to serve you. I will certainly be a returning customer. Thank you for all you did for me, on this occasion and my sincere best wishes.Response from the ownerHi StevenThank you so much for taking the time to write such an informative and glowing review. I can not thank you enough. Reviews like this from our customers, help build trust in our independent business. Thank you again. It has been a real pleasure and I hope the suit looks amazing for your upcoming occasion. We look forward to serving you again in the future. Kindest regardsJez and Ruth Carl S.Carl S. ★★★★★ Great professional guy who really enjoys his work. Really makes the effort to make you look great. Upper-class relaxed atmosphere. I went in for a wedding suit and I also bought a tuxedo for a cruise I was going on. Has tailored recommendations for alterations from different areas to get the final tailored finishes should this be required. Parking isn't ideal if you are lazy like me but worth the small walk to the carpark.Response from the ownerHi Carl, thank you so much for the 5 stars and taking the time to write us a review, we really do appreciate it. I'm pleased you found some great suits and it was nice chatting with you about business. I hope you have a great time time at the wedding and of course on your cruise. Don't worry, we have "customer car park" as a big must for our next premises move when that comes around 👌. Take care Jez & Ruth LauraLaura ★★★★★ Amazing customer service. My fiancé and I were trying to find a particular Marc Darcy waistcoat for our wedding October - it was completely sold out in his size on every single website and I was tearing my hair out trying to find it in stock anywhere. Ruth from Astares was kind enough to phone the suppliers, find out when the waistcoat was back in stock and then give me the option of ordering from Marc Darcy directly or from Astares. As it was such a specific colour I was happy to go with Ruth for the extra reassurance it would be right! She took the time to call me to let me know the waistcoat had arrived and been set aside for me. So nice to know that someone knowledgable and helpful was on the other end of the ordering process. Very glad to have come across their website. Thank you, my fiancé now has a waistcoat for the wedding!Response from the ownerHi Laura, you are so very welcome. I'm so pleased we were able to get this all sorted for you ready for your big day🤩👌. I really appreciate you taking the time to write a review and of course for the 5 stars✨ I hope you have an amazing wedding next month. All the very best to you both, Ruth & Jez 😁 chantelle W.chantelle W. ★★★★★ Outstanding service and knowledge of the suits on sale in this fabulous shop. I honestly thought suit shopping was going to be a royal painstaking task. We found this site on google and headed straight there, the shop was busy with clients all looking for their purchases. Myself and fiancé were welcomed on arrival whilst browsing we found some ideas of what we were looking for, my fiancé was measured by EYE no tape measure required he knew exactly what size he was and offered the garments for him to try, he let us wonder and try alternatives at our leisure. When our turn came for service we were offered alternative items to show how the suits work with other colors. The store has every size in every range there was nothing that wasn’t there like next or similar, we find nothing worse than going for a suit but can’t get your exact measurements and have to go back or order online! We had none of this. Everything was on the hangers waiting to be tried on. Reasonable price for a three piece suite in tweed to!! You will not be disappointed with the quality of them. When we had decided on the suit my fiancés was guided with what he thought alteration would be needed. Noted all this down with recommended trailers. The suits was steamed and placed in a suit bag. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a stress free shopping experience to use this place. Super friendly and very helpfulResponse from the ownerWOW!! Chantelle, thank you so much for such a lovely review.✨✨✨ Its so kind of you to take the time and write about your shopping experience with us and to offer lots of details to others who might be reading these reviews before coming down to see us at the shop 👍 I'm so glad Marc found the "suit" with us 👌🤩. Its lovely to hear that you guys felt attended to, as I know the shop can get super busy at times. Thank you for the 5 stars and for taking the time to write this review, its means a lot to us. Wishing you both the very best and I hope your wedding goes perfectly for you both.

Good quality suits and what I would call reasonable prices. Brilliant experience been fitted for a suit by someone who you feel wants you to look good. And knows the difference between letting you decide what you want and giving professional advice when needed. Four groomsmen reluctantly travelled four hours for the fitting and all said on completion the experience was well worth it. Five stars from me and my grooms party.Response from the owner😊😊 Thank you so much Ryan. You and the guys were a good laugh and I really enjoyed your company.
