Welcome to Chimney Formal Menswear. We offer an award-winning, one-to-one styling experience for grooms with a mix of professional advice, fun and creativity to help find the unique look for your big day.
With a range of evening wear, morning and lounge suits available to hire or buy, you have the opportunity to create a stand-out style for you and your groomsmen. Not forgetting the personal touches of accessories with a large range of colours and styles on offer.
Chimney was founded on the belief that, as a groom, you should have the same retail experience as the bride. It’s a suit that will remain in photo albums for decades and one you want to get right. Our experienced team bring a wealth of expertise in discovering your style and bringing together the perfect outfit.
Our shop, built beside the original 13.5-metre-high retired ironworks’ chimney, is based near Royston on the Hertfordshire/Cambridgeshire border. The space has been designed with a real masculine flavour (and is perfectly positioned just next door to a pub!). The large fitting area allows for COVID-19 guidelines to be adhered to without impacting your experience.
Ready to start your Chimney Experience? Call 01763 252828 to book.
We’re able to offer a range of lounge suits, tailcoats, formal and evening wear to hire. There are matching waistcoats available, but why not mix things up? Create your own take on the biggest trend by mixing waistcoat colours and textures for the whole wedding party.
Cufflinks, top hats, shoes, braces, ties and cravats can also be hired for that special finishing touch.
Have a keepsake from your special day by opting to purchase all or part of your formal look. Whether it takes pride of place in your wardrobe or is something you restyle for another occasion, our suits are made to last.
Whether you want to stand out from your wedding party or dress to impress as a group, we have a service that will allow you to purchase your suit but match that with our to-hire range seamlessly.

What is the Chimney Experience? It starts by understanding that you want a retail experience tailored to your style, your personality and your preferences. Our stylists want you to feel comfortable and confident on your wedding day.
On reserving your appointment with Chimney, be prepared to have your style explored and challenged in equal measure. Chimney Grooms look great, feel great and wear outfits that get remembered for all the right reasons.
“A wedding is about the bride and groom, there are plenty of bridal shops but nothing special for the groom and his party and believe me, I've looked. Sharon and Graham go out of their way to make everyone feel special. The building itself is gorgeous with lots of quirky artefacts around, the staff are amazing, talented, funny, caring and above all experts in their field. Gently advising if necessary. They put you at ease and when you leave you know you have just experienced excellent service. I truly can't thank them enough.”

They couldn't do enough to help us! Thank you so much for providing us with the suits for our wedding day. They were perfect.” Charlotte Eastman
