REDEFINING MEN ' S FASHION: DAVID AND GARY TALK MASUIT MENSWEAR IN HESWALL
Founded with a passion for precision tailoring, MASUIT brings together over a decade of experience in men’ s fashion. Our journey began with a vision to create a place where men could find the perfect suit, tailored to their unique style and fit. Today, they are proud to be The Wirral’ s premier suit destination, offering a curated selection of high-quality suits, shoes, and accessories.
How did you guys start the company? Myself and David met every year as part of a team of 100 chauffeurs looking after the main sponsors at the British open golf championship, we have been wanting to open a suit shop ever since we met over 6 years ago, working at Hoylake 2 years ago is when the area grabbed our imagination, over 300,000 people on Wirral with nothing like what we were looking to do!
Where did the name Masuit come from? Our Scottish and Irish accents, we both used to call our mums‘ Ma’( god rest both of them).
Any little fashion detail tips? We get asked this a lot, like let’ s say the bottom button on a waistcoat, fastened or not? That in particular is related to sitting( as opposed to standing) while being fully buttoned up, undone bottom button just allows a bit more room, but everyone has their individual taste, therefore what is not for one person may very well be to the taste of the next person, each to their own, whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Editor’ s note: I always remember my grandfather, like the movie stars of his generation, pinching the crease in his trousers at the knee and raise them an inch or so above- as not to bulge the crease out when sitting removing the crisp line and baggy knees( see Roger Moore’ s Bond).
Do you have plans to expand Masuit across Wirral? With the fantastic start Masuit has had and the way we have been welcomed, all we will say is“ watch this space.”
What does Masuit specialise in? We pride ourselves in giving a unique service making sure our clients are not rushed and enjoy the experience of getting fitted out in Masuit, we specialise in weddings working with wedding planners, race days, proms and we offer a discounted rate for 6th form students saving the families a little money as well as saving the stress of going into Liverpool or Cheshire Oaks, etc.
How did you come up with the idea of Masuit? We both have close friends in the industry and have shared the passion for years, we were very lucky to have the mentorship from our friends helping us with the build up to the launch.
How has business been since the launch? We really have been blown away by the response from the local community as well as clients coming from far and wide, as we are a destination also bringing business to the area.
How long have you been working in the fashion and retail industry? We have both been in and around the industry for around 10 years.
What timeless menswear do you think will never go out of fashion? A sharp suit will never go out of fashion, weddings, race days, business, lounge suits, just generally feeling and looking good.
