Moss bros worries...

Ok, how far away is your wedding? do you have insurance?

can't comment on the moss bros issue in particular - have i got my head in the sand, or has there been something in the news about them going under?

Welcome to Hitched!!! I share your concerns. I haven't heard anything. I have to say though that I DO have wedding insurance as it was just over £100 and I think it is worth getting in the current climate. Have you looked at Debenhams mewswear too...for some reason I think they might be a more stable retailer (but guess you can never tell either way). I know that doesn't help much but I would be tempted to look around for insurance.

Hello and welcome to hitched, by the way....

Have you actually heard that Moss Bros are in trouble? I'm sure you can understand that to post this on here might worry some people if they have already paid money to Moss Bros.

But with reference to your question I would suggest to get insurance in any case. For a relatively small amount, compared to the cost of the wedding, it is peace of mind - even more so in this climate.

Welcome!

Get insurance - you'd be mad not to especially in the current climate!

No idea about Moss Bros by the way - but they're probably as safe a bet as any!

Hi there, wedding is June 19th - no I haven't got insurance yet...really wasnt sure whether it was worth it...have you?

There have been some news articles on the net about their share price going down dramatically.....

The share price apparently dropped sharply last week so hence my worries....thanks for the advice, I think I need insurance!

thank you for the advice, I think you are right - 5 other ladies have just screamed the same thing at me!! I will do it now!

Hi,

I have some experience with Moss Bros. And they are in a reasonably sound position at the moment. But there are quite a few other large nationwide retailers who will be sadly missed, so there are no sure things at the moment. Insurance is your best bet.

There are always other options. There are quite a few small retailers who offer excellent products and services. ?

Thanks

Marc

i cant imagine who you mean?!?

Well as you are Bespoke Tailor I will take your advice on board! Thanks for the reassurance and good luck yourself!

I see my subtle subliminal advertising isn't fooling anyone! ?

Hi ya Marc

Just out of interest, what is a normal cost for a bespoke suit, two peice or is that too vague?

Hi, we've ordered our suits from Moss Bros and paid £183 deposit, I'm panicking now! Any recommendations on reasonable insurance?

We are in East London/Essex.

Hi Ruth,

Sorry for the slow reply, I was distracted by work, kids, football and tv.

A made-to-measure suit starts from £449.95. The price is dependant on your choice of fabric. My favourite fabric for style, quality and performance is from Holland and Sherry and is a book called Snowy River, it is a classic English Worsted wool in super 100's to 140's but amazing depth of colour and softness.

A bespoke suit starts from £999.95 and again is dependant on the fabric chosen. A bespoke suit (they way we hav always made them) is hand-cut and hand-made. They have horsehair canvas's and hand-padded collars, hand-made button holes, real bone buttons etc. A very time consuming process, which increases the style and fit but also the weight.

I have loads of info on my site if your interested.

Thanks

Marc

Please don't let me panic you! I am probably being over cautious. However I just got wedding insurance through this site which covers you for lost deposits if any of your suppliers fail. It was £110 for good cover although you could go for the £60 option if that was better for your needs...

Don't worry, I am sure MB will be fine.
