Salingers Cork


Salingers French Church street, Cork city

GIUDICE CONFEZIONI - Blue single
 breasted 2b peak lapel blazer.
 Salingers is a bespoke mens tailors and mens clothes shop. The old world feel to the shop with its little coffee table and arm chairs makes you feel as if you've been taken back in time. The various attributes of mens sports, fishing and hunting adorn the walls. this shop has a welcoming feeling not as sterile as the modern day, run of the mill shop

The shop was opened in 2011 by French/ Italian Christofer Kaprelian and Candian Mike Gibson, Both of whom have had years of experiences working in the fashion industry working in  Brown Thomas Cork. I talked to one of the Owners Christofer who said
 "the style of clothes we have is sharp and clean cut",
 This giving modern men well fitted, tailored suits, and smart casual wear. On the first floor of the shop they have their casual wear, from brands such as Wrangler, Farah Vintage and Paul Taylor

Upstairs they have their suit department, with various types of suit jackets, pants, ties and bow ties. from designers such as Giudice Confezioni and Xacus. In the shop they also offer a "made to measure service " creating bespoke suits for the discerning customer, they also carry out alterations.

SCOTCH & SODA rust velvet blazer, heavy cotton
 blue b.down shirt and knitted wool and silk bow tie
At the moment the shop is on a big move to their new premises 3 doors down, above Amity so to help clear the remaining stock they have an AMAZING 50% -70% off various brands, call in for more information, As I finished my chat with Christofer I asked him where the name for the shop had come from he told me " it came from J.D Salinger author of "catcher in the  Rye" " a book both he and Mike had always liked, Hopefully I'll check back with the guys after their big move, anyone looking for well made pieces for a special event go to Salingers
