Galligans claimed to be the first man’s shop in Henry St, whilst Best Menswear, an Irish Company established in 1948 and today with stores all over Ireland, then had shops in O’Connell St and Westmoreland St.

The Best’s ad is classy: you could actually still wear a suit of that cut today, no prob, narrow-leg pants and pointy slip-on shoes and all. And the girl’s outfit is good as well. Blimey, it’s almost 50 years ago.
Got a couple of work shirts in a sale in Best’s in the Stephen’s Green centre a while ago; nice stuff. Good to see them still in business.
