Not only the shop is incredibly cosy and traditional, but the staff is mindful and kind while the fabrics and products are of outstanding quality. The quality to price ratio is one of its best for men's tweed pants. Bought two of them after more than 10 tryings. The sales person was really patient and took the necessary time for me to feel comfortable with my buying. Good point: they include cuts and fitting operations withing the base price without supplement to make sure your pant fits right. By default the pants are not cut to length on that very purpose :) Would 100% recommend.

I have purchased it online several times. The products at this store are very good. We especially recommend tweed products such as genuine Harris Tweed at reasonable prices. Some of the clothes seem to be made in England, but the clothes are designed by this shop and manufactured by a Portuguese company with whom they have a close relationship. It seems that there is also an order. The sleeves of jackets and coats are long for Japanese people, so be sure to check. If repairs are needed, they will be happy to advise you. I like the shape of the jackets and coats, especially the shoulder and waist lines, as they are modern and match my body shape very well. The harmony between classic fabrics such as Harris Tweed and modern design is wonderful, and it is recommended at an affordable price.

Sensational selection of really beautiful dresses. Top service that takes a lot of time to find the right size. Great style advice simply cool!

After my fiance had spent all day looking at the suit shops in Edinburgh and not being happy with any of them, I managed to get him to try one more. What great luck that it was this one! The suits aren't cheap by any means, but they are absolutely worth every penny. The quality is perfection and the whole experience is very enjoyable. I was wearing a tracksuit (I didn't expect to be suit shopping that day but was called for moral support after he had no luck) and they never once made me feel unwelcome. He said he really felt like he was going to be the man of the hour, and he got a tailored suit that most gents would be very envious of. It's a shop I'd never heard of before but I'm now reccomending to everyone. If you're on the lookout for high quality, make sure you try one here!! I will update with a picture of my man in a suit once our wedding comes around!

I visited this shop for the first time a week ago. I have to say that I don’t wear suits often and I don’t love shopping, so it was a bit of a challenging situation for me. We had the wonderful assistance of Chris, helpful, understanding and honest, not just someone trying to sell you a suit at any cost. He guided me well to pick the right suit, explaining differences between suits and styles. And the most important for me, he made me feel comfortable and not pressured at all. Friendly, helpful and very professional.

W. P.

Very warm and soft sweaters, and you are genuinely well taken care of

I visited back in 2016 from Bristol. For years I had wished for a Harris Tweed jacket. I found this shop online and saved up for one of the short Victorian riding jackets. The style and quality are amazing. I had the shoulders adjusted when I got back home and even the tailor commented on its quality workmanship. Have worn it every winter since. Absolutely love it!

C.

Popped in to buy a new tweed suit for a wedding. I had basically no idea and no real budget. I was served by Simon who is a cracking bloke with a great attitude; he was incredibly helpful, informative, and very personable. I left very pleased with a great suit that only requires minor alterations (that should only take a few days). Great shop, great service. Will be back.

K. S.

Bought a suit here today and everything about the experience was great. The staff were helpful and welcoming. I had lots of choice and again the staff were very patient as I tried on a variety of options before settling on one. The trousers were slightly too long so needed altered before I could take the suit home - this alteration was completed within an hour and its now hanging in my wardrobe awaiting its first outing. Truly excellent from beginning to end.

T. W.

A must for all sartorially-minded gentleman. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent quality. Fairly priced.

J. G.

Fantastic service and really amazing quality. Luna in particular was super attentive and got me exactly what I was looking for!

H. B.

Highly recommended. I came here in search of a Harris Tweed jacket, and ended up coming back for another jacket and a jumper. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail in the clothes is exceptional, and the in-store display is endlessly inspiring. I cannot praise the staff enough: highly knowledgeable, patient, and sharp dressers.

J. K.

Between myself and my best man we must have spent about 3.5H over two visits with the Walker Slater team sorting wedding outfits. They are kind, patient, knowledgable and efficient, making the (unwise?) choice to travel from another country to avail of their services all the more worthwhile. To Maria, Luna, and Paula, I cannot thank you enough for your incredible service. You have been so helpful and I won't hesitate to recommend or use your services again in the future.

S. P. M.

In search of a three-piece wedding suit for our grand day in October 2017, I came across Walker Slater and ordered a navy tweed suit of the Martin model (Jacket, waistcoat, trousers). I am usually reserved when it comes to buying clothing items online however in the case of Walker Slater, I could not have had a better experience. The communication was excellent and very helpful. I had extra-ordinary help from Ms MacPhail who did not hesitate to contact me with guidance before dispatch to ensure everything was in order. I have never experienced such customer service and attention to detail before and I will never forget how well my matter was handled. My suit arrived in Stockholm, Sweden on time to have some additional adjustments by a local tailor and it came well-packaged, with some information cards and a bag to keep the suit from collecting dust! I would warmly recommend Walker Slater to anyone looking for stellar quality men's fashion with a traditional and classy look. I definitely felt like a gentleman inside and out on our wedding day and will come back for more in the future. Whenever I am next in Edinburgh, I am excited to see what is to be found in the physical store. Until then, all the best and keep up the good work!

K.

Good service. Nice quality tweed clothing - not a cheep option but still quite reasonable pricing. Check out their waistcoat style sleeveless jackets with the small stand up collar. Proper tweed backs on them, none of that horrid polyester stuff.

O. R.

This place has the friendliest staff, the best service and the most exquisite clothing a gentleman can find. Nothing is too much for them. I kept changing my mind on what I liked but not once did they get fed up of helping me. I went in for just a tweed jacket and came out with a jacket, waistcoat, shirt, tie and handkerchief! They cater for every size (I am skinny and tall) but they had the perfect jacket for me and I didn't need any alterations making to my jacket. The gentlemen there to help you are very professional yet have an excellent sense of humour which makes for a good atmosphere. I was served by a young man who's name I didn't quite catch, but it says on the receipt 'Erik' so I will go for that. He couldn't have helped me enough and wasn't the kind of person who just said everything looked good on me. He said when things didn't suit me but always had a suggestion to back it up. I love this place and will be back again soon for more things! Keep up the good work lads!

J. J.

Great place near to the grassmarket. I was having a suit made for me to wear for the Graduation that happens twice a year at St Andrews University. The gentleman who took care of me was Joe, from start to finish he was very professional and obviously new exactly what he was doing. Ive been back 2 times in all to have minor adjustments done the third time was to pick the suit up. Overall a fantastic place to have a suit made or to shop off the peg. They also sell other items like waistcoats, jumpers, sweaters ties etc.

M. M.

Vast collection of different tweeds and very helpful staff! It is a bit pricy but maybe justified for being on the most popular and scenic road in Edinburgh!

A. T. A.

I live in Greece and have ordered two suits from them online. First, the service is amazing; patient, informative, and correct. If you're ordering online, call them. Second, WOW! the quality of these suits is astonishing and they look and feel great. If you've ever entertained the thought of a full-on tweed suit, Walker Slater is the perfect place.

T. B.

This was the best experience I've ever had working with a tailor. Everything about this business is quality. Would recommend to anyone who wants a high quality and professional job done for a really reasonable price. Will go back next time I'm in town. Brilliant work Walker Slater Edinburgh. Thank you!

S. P. V.

The team in Edinburgh were exceptionally friendly and helpful. While looking for my first tweed jackets or (future suit), I found the advice most welcoming. Their prices were certainly affordable and inline with the level of quailty and service. A big personal thanks to Jason who I chatted with the most. See you soon and best wishes. Adam

c. s.

Thanks Walker Slater for an excellent in store experience! Very knowledgeable regarding fits, styles, and tailoring. Unfortunately, I am a very difficult size. To my benefit, Simon was about to sort me out with an excellent, custom tailored Tweed suit. If your in Scotland, near any of their locations, I highly recommend stopping in.

J. C.

Very nice men's clothing and accessories, for surprisingly reasonable prices. I picked up a bag here and am very happy with it.

C. P.

UTTERLY DELIGHTFUL. I'm so glad I found this place. I visited for the first time yesterday - I was super stressed as the airline had lost my luggage and I needed emergency outfits for an upcoming party and two business meetings. I was greeted within less than a minute by a highly qualified and attentive consultant called Fiona. She expertly took me through all the different cuts, styles and options for blazers, shirts and trousers and made genuinely excellent recommendations for each. I am very indecisive, so for 30+ minutes, Fiona diligently and attentively helped me get exactly the clothes I needed. The cut and the quality of the clothes I walked out of the shop with are honestly just exquisite. I really have never been more satisfied with a tailor. Thank you, Walker Slater and Fiona.

R. M. S.

Here men can find great tweed jackets, suits and shirts. We found a very nice jacket and a cool tie. The sales guys are very capable and friendly. Very good quality/price ratio.

F. M.

Fantastic experience with Walker Slater finding a 3-piece suit and accessories. Good selection 'off the peg', excellent fit for the tall/lanky. Simon was very welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful, patient and generous with his time in helping with choice, fit, tailoring and accessorizing. I've ended up feeling very good about my first suit as a result of both the service and quality at Walker Slater.

L. W.

Fantastic tailored tweed suits. Very good value and very comfortable in varying designs and colours. I look for any excuse to wear it! Staff very attentive and will bend over backwards to help find the right suit.

J. C.

Bought a tweed coat. So glad I did. Quality craftsmanship and people who know their stuff. There us lots of hacks in Edinburgh but these guys are legit. If you are serious about finding the good stuff, come here. You will pay for it, but hey, that only makes sense. Get the good stuff. You'll be glad you did!

D. E.

My experience was a very good one, I was looking for a Harris tweed jacket, but with an open mind, the gentleman who delt with me was called Chris, his relaxed & knowledgeable manner was just the help required, he listened to my requirements & provided alternative ideas & materials, in the end a bought a lambs wool jacket. The service & guidance was second to none. Thank you Chris.

l.

Whenever I travel to Edin - Walker Skater is my primary destination - First of all its on epic Victoria Street in Hay Market, and entering the shop Is a dreamy emotional experience , with no pushy sales people to spoil the visit, just charming ones !. I don’t even think to look at the prices as I know I’m getting exceptional quality for a remarkable price. A very rare thing these days. I have great respect for Walker Slater and what they represent. Go for a visit and enjoy !

R. M.

A quality gents tailor with a ladies branch further down the street. Oozes class and quality. Shop interior takes you back to bygone days when service and atmosphere were as important as the quality of the goods on sale. Tweed suits to die for. Don't miss it an Edinburgh Institution.

L. D.

Wonderful experience purchasing a suit for husband for our wedding. Great service. Excellent quality. So many guests complimented my husband on his suit. Would highly recommend and will be back.Thank you.

J. C.

Walker Slater is one of the finest shops of its kind in Edinburgh. There selection of suit materials is second to none and their fine tailoring service matches this in every quality. This review should confirm to the discerning customer that Walker Slater is an excellent first choice for stylish, top quality menswear and should be considered at the top of your list.

P. S.

Impecable clothing: bought a shirt and a tie today, very good quality items, I'm more than happy with my purchases. Special thanks to stuff members, they really put myself at ease. I'll definitely come back!

F.

I called it The Peaky blinders shop :). I got a twill Jacket worth every penny. This is not Zara or H&M this is a different kind of product. The staff knows what they are selling. Be patient because it gets busy

C. M.

Good selection of both- off the peg and tailored suits. Modern tweeds in bright colours to cheer up the faint hearted. Great service from friendly and knowledgeable staff. Could not recommend more

C. M.

A distinctive brand which I always revisit when I'm in Edinburgh. Walker Slater is so classic yet stylish and quietly quirky. The shop itself is fun, very visual and one of a kind & the advice and service from the assistants is second to none. Their women's jackets are a perfect fit for me and are always admired by friends!

D. A.

Walker Slater - all good. From the outside your attention is captured by the attractive items and displays in the windows, then once inside, it is a bit of a treat, there is no end of appealing garments that catch your attention. This is all added to by friendly helpful staff. Any item bought is something a little bit special and distinctive and leaves you anticipating the next visit and maybe the next purchase. Definitely worth a visit.

S. G.

As a customer for just over a year, I can recommend Walker Slater classic clothing for quality and price. The value is almost shockingly good and my all time favorite piece has to be their double breasted waistcoat with a Victorian flair. I am a known figure in classic women's wear and have recommended Walker Slater to several women for an almost unfindable wide selection, which more than rivals Ralph Lauren in style and particularly in price. ~Sonya Glyn Nicholson

D. H.

Great shop with modern twist on classic clothes. Ideal if you want stylish clothes with a touch of nostalgia. Great customer service and elegant window dressing make this a must visit if you find yourself in Edinburgh.

A. C.

GORGEOUS clothing for men (and for women, too - a few doors down). Super smart, dapper clothing collections in lovely tweeds, wools, soft cottons and even VERY well-priced selvedge Japanese and Italian denim. Stop in to be inspired. Prices are very reasonable also! And if not, try their sales store across the street. You won't be disappointed!

j. j.

Greate service,top quality tights.

B. M. F.

Popup sale shop! Across the street! The sales associates we absolutely amazing. First Sauna assisted us. She was delightful. The second day Stewart assisted with a second purchase and was equally delightful. Great staff and of course an amazing product line. Thank you.

H. H.

Held Melissa hostage for the last half an hour probably. She’s very nice, good customer service person for sure. Wonderful store, pleasant staff. Very friendly people, overall great experience.

R. M.

This is one of the finest menswear stores in Edinburgh. A hidden gem of a place, where the staff are EXCELLENT, attentive, informative and the clothes are unique. The only problem with a store like this is that too many people will eventually find out about it, and I'd rather keep it a secret.......

L. M.

We came for the first time back in 2017. At this time, we were looking for our wedding suits. We found two beautiful tweed suits and all accessories. The staff was delightful, helpful and they did their best for us to look at our best on the big day. The tailoring service is high quality as well and very efficient. We came back again in 2018. We bought two beautiful winter coats 🧥 that I love. Again fantastic service and a great moment with the staff. Our last visit yesterday was no disappointment. I can’t recommend enough this shop. If you are looking for quality mens clothes it’s no better place ... and with exquisite service.

K. D.

I have experienced excellent service from the staff in the menswear store on Victoria Street over the past few months whilst arranging a gift. They have been more than helpful on several occasions. Thank you very much!

S. G.

Amazing service from brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly staff.

A. P.

The finest tweed clothing that you can find. A complete selection of 2 or 3 pieces suits, coats, trousers. The personnel is kind and helpful every time and the level of service provided by the company is outstanding. Highly recommended!

O. O.

This is a fantastic shop with great staff and great service. Bought a beautiful and very rare Harris Tweed Jacket and Waistcoat here. Glad I don't live near this shop, I'd be bankrupt quickly - too many great things. 👍

H. J.

Inarguably, Walker Slater is one of the best addresses in the world for affordable, quality ready-to-wear and made-to-measure men's and women's classical garments. I've been in the business for more than a decade (aka The Parisian Gentleman) and know what I'm talking about. Hugo Jacomet

D.

Excellent service. Travelled 3hrs to get a tweed suit after terrible service from a couple of places in Newcastle. This was the polar opposite. Sterling service. Thanks especially to Gareth 👌

L. P.

My fiance and I really enjoyed our experience at this shop - would highly recommend! The staff were extremely warm, knowledgeable and friendly - and they really made my fiance look great!

F. W.

This is a luxurious place. The clothes look amazing. The staff is very helpful and they have a lot of professional knowledge. If I was a millionaire I would buy all my clothes here;)

Such a great service! Kris made it so much easier to choose my suit!

S. C.

If you’re in Edinburgh and looking for authentic tweed clothing, skip the touristy shops on the Royal Mile and head to the Walker Slater men’s or women’s shop on Victoria Street. Although slightly more expensive, their selection and quality are top notch and worth the additional cost. The staff was also very attentive and helpful.

F. D.

Holy moly... what a selection of fashionable men's clothes (women's store was a few doors down). Loved their eye for modern, yet refined and classy men's suits. A little highly priced for me to be more than the occasional buyer.

K. H.

Fab classy shop. timeless classic clothes

S. R. M.

The shop itself is very nice- posh-cool. Cool stuff, not the cheapest. This is not your Zara or your H&M. The people who works there is quite nice as well. The only issue, albeit important, is that the return policy is very very strict: no returns, at most an exchange... And even for that you need to give many explanations and they do not make it easy.

J. O.

Nice selection friendly service. Top of the heap for EDI.

R. W.
