Built for you

Built for every kind of formal wear & dress hire business

A school-ball dinner suit

Hold the selected jacket and trousers through fitting, ball night and the cleaned return.

The wedding party fitting

Keep each person’s sizes and outfit separate beneath one wedding organiser.

A black-tie dinner package

Quote the dinner suit and full accessory package as distinct choices.

Inspection before the next hirer

The wedding party fitting: hold the formal outfit after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first street address

A school-ball dinner suit: public booking captures one street address; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A black-tie dinner package: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Dinner suit or full formal package

The wedding party fitting: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

Bank transfer reaches the office

A school-ball dinner suit: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

A black-tie dinner package: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one formal outfit

The wedding party fitting: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Dinner suit, full formal package and the real return.

Keep the selected unit, street address, occupied span and staff notes together from the first request to hand-back.

  • Options, with Pro

    List dinner suit and full formal package as separate services with their own booked spans. Record bank transfer or cash on Free; settlement stays offline without card checkout.

Schedule

Fittings months ahead of the Saturday

The fitting is a half hour in your diary in March and the hire is a garment out on a Friday in November. Two dated bookings under one customer, so you can see both without holding either in your head.

Six who have to match, tracked one by one

Every member of the party has their own booking under the one wedding, so the four who have been in, the one booked for Thursday and the one who has not answered are all visible at once.

Get paid

Out Friday, back Monday, chased Tuesday

The hire carries its return date from the moment it is made, an email goes to the customer when it falls due, and a jacket away for alterations is blocked so it cannot be promised to another Saturday.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for formal wear & dress hire businesses

One hire from preparation to return

The complete formal outfit hire occupies the selected formal outfit through the cleaned garment return, with first address and contact ready.

  • A school-ball dinner suitHold the selected jacket and trousers through fitting, ball night and the cleaned return.
  • One street address starts the recordThe wedding party fitting: keep the first address, customer contact and staff notes together for the handover check.
  • Return closes the spanA black-tie dinner package: keep the selected formal outfit offline until the cleaned garment return and the next safe turnaround.

The selected unit cannot be sold twice

Every formal outfit keeps independent availability, so a confirmed interval closes only the unit actually chosen.

  • Each unit keeps its own diaryA school-ball dinner suit: dinner suit and full formal package stay separate so the wrong unit never inherits the booking.
  • Conflicting time stays hiddenThe wedding party fitting: close the selected formal outfit through the cleaned garment return, including its operational buffer.
  • Cancellation frees the same intervalA black-tie dinner package: a cancellation releases only the chosen formal outfit and time; other confirmed work remains in place.

Agreement and receipts on one hire

A school-ball dinner suit: the accepted quote and manually recorded bank transfer keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote firstA school-ball dinner suit: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.
  • Offline receipts reduce the balanceThe wedding party fitting: apply bank transfer or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.
  • Emails are switched on deliberatelyA black-tie dinner package: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.
