British menswear and tailors Moss unveils new flagship store in Manchester
Moss is now open in the Arndale
Moss menswear brand brings its timeless style and sophistication to Manchester with the opening of a new flagship store in the Arndale Centre.
Having now opened its doors to the public on August 3rd, the new Arndale store – spanning 3082 sq ft – is set to be the latest addition to Moss’ expansive portfolio.
The new opening follows the brand’s recent name change, having dropped the ‘Bros’ – originally Moss Bros – keeping it simply as ‘Moss’.
The move marks another stepping stone in the heritage brand’s journey, as it seamlessly blends Moss’ distinctive classic tailoring with its newer, fashion-forward casual collection.
Located in the bustling Arndale Centre, the new flagship store boasts a spacious layout with the updated, pared-back interior style synonymous with the newer stores recently opened by the brand.
The new Manchester location offers the brand’s tailoring service ‘Custom Made’, allowing the customer to create a personalised suit from scratch.
The service showcases the brand’s commitment to delivering unparalleled craftsmanship and quality to its customers who want affordable tailoring without compromising on style and fit.
Featured in-store is the launch of the latest Autumn/Winter ’23 collection. From rugged knitwear to luxe outerwear, Moss has new season style choices covered, no matter the occasion.
To ensure customers have the best and personalised experience, the brand’s in-store stylists and knowledgeable staff are experts in helping customers discover and enhance their unique style.
“Our new store in Manchester is a celebration of everything Moss stands for today; modern British menswear and accessible style for all,” said Brian Brick, Moss CEO.
“We are excited to reintroduce the brand and our incredible AW23 collection to the discerning shoppers of Manchester, offering them a space to explore our product and experience our expertise first-hand.”
We’re pleased to announce that Proper Manchester is rebranding as Finest City Guides.
As part of this change, the Proper Manchester brand, including its social media channels, will transition to the Finest City Guides name.
This is a rebrand of the existing platform rather than a new or unrelated business. The same team behind Proper Manchester will continue to operate Finest City Guides as we develop the platform under its new identity.
Previous name: Proper Manchester
New name: Finest City Guides
Our social channels and other brand assets will be updated to reflect the Finest City Guides name as part of this transition.
More from Finest City Guides coming soon.
