Thank you for booking your suits with Woven Retail LTD. Please quote the party name and function date as the reference when booking future appointments.

REST OF THE PARTY TO BE MEASURED
For hire suits, we recommend that everyone is measured in our Woven showroom.
• Wedding party visit us for measurements 3 months prior to the Function Date;
• The wedding party has a final fitting 2 weeks prior to the Function Date;
• Boys are fitted 2 weeks prior to the Function Date. However, please check with us at the time of booking that we have outfits available for their size.

CUSTOMERS OWN MEASUREMENTS (COM)
You may send your own measurements to us. However, we cannot accept responsibility for any size errors and cannot guarantee that we will be able to replace the item. You may incur a £25.00 charge per outfit for replacements.
Details of your wedding party’s suit requirements, measurements and contact details will be recorded on our system. Please refer to our privacy notice at the end of this agreement for further information.

PAYMENT
We require 50% of the total hire cost as a deposit per outfit at the time of booking to secure availability for your function date. This will be applied against the hire price. If you cancel your order after a 28 day period from booking, the deposit is non-refundable. Please refer to sections 4 and 8 of our terms and conditions of hire for further information.

PURCHASE SUITS
We offer a selection of suits to purchase. Most standard sizes are available from stock. However, in the event we do not hold your size in stock, it will take a minimum of 2, or a maximum of up to 12 weeks for the suit to be ordered and delivered to us. All party members should be fitted as soon as possible and payment made in full (at the time of booking) to guarantee availability in the desired styles & sizes. We also have fashion suits that are seasonal, so availability needs to be confirmed at the time of ordering.

PERSONAL TAILORING
If you have chosen to have a suit made, this process will take a minimum of 12 or a maximum of up to 26 weeks. It is the customer’s responsibility to make the appointment for a consultation in good time. A 50% payment (of the items due to be made) is taken when the order is placed. Once the order has been placed with our supplier to make the custom items, it is then not possible to make amendments. Due to this, personal tailoring is non-refundable. Your statutory rights are not affected.

SHOES
We have a range of shoes available to purchase. If you would like to purchase shoes, sizes for all party members are required as soon as possible so that we can guarantee availability and avoid disappointment. Once your items are ready, we will contact you and ask you to collect them (this may be before your Collection Date).

TIES & ACCESSORIES TO PURCHASE
We have a range of accessories for purchase in our store. We require payment in full at the time you order them. Once your items are ready, we will contact you and ask you to collect them on or before your Collection Date.

ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE WAIVER (A.D.W)
Included in all hire purchases. This covers the hire garments for any accidental damage that may arise while being used appropriately by the wearer. It does not cover for loss or malicious damage and
excludes cover of Top Hats. We reserve the right to charge for any damaged or mistreated items through malicious or inappropriate use. Please note that if you have personal wedding insurance, you will still have to pay us (when you return the outfits) in respect of any damage caused, and then seek to claim on your wedding insurance policy.
Please refer to section 6 of our terms and conditions of hire for further details.

You must collect the outfit(s) on the stated collection day and all try on the outfits as soon as possible on the Collection Day to check that they are all satisfactory.
