After over 30 years running New Zealand’s leading suit hire company, Frank Casey knows a thing or two about dressing guys in suits.
His company, Frank Casey, offers more than 20 styles of suits to customers all over the country. Frank tells us more about hiring his suits…
Frank, how did Frank Casey get started?
Having worked all my life in menswear, I sold my retail business and had a year off. Way too young to retire, I looked for something new. I looked at suit hire and saw the large gap for quality, stylish suits and accessories with first-class service. It was simple, and we still offer quality, style and service after nearly 30 years.
What are the benefits of hiring or buying a suit from Frank Casey?
To us it’s not just a suit, it’s an event.
We look after all the large and small details, making sure the suits fit to perfection. We hire quality suits, many specifically made for us, in a wide range of sizes, including for big and tall men. Our experienced staff offer advice on suit styles to suit the occasion and complement your body shape and help you select accessories to complete your look. Not everyone is tall and slim, so it is about knowing the right style and fit for the right person.
We take the time to find out about you, what you have in mind, how we can make that work for you, or how we can make it even better. We can also have you fitted and out the door in 20 minutes (or less), so you can come on your lunch break and still have time for lunch. If you have hired from us before, we will have your measurements and suit style recorded for easy ordering next time, so no need to come in at all if you don’t have time.
If Black Tie guests or wedding party members are coming from out of town or overseas, you can provide us with measurements, we will do a final fitting when they arrive and make any changes necessary usually on the spot.
We specialise in large groups, we can fit everyone in the same style of suit or different ones, in a significant range of sizes from jockeys to basketball players, rugby players to lounge chair referees. Our sheer size range is a huge advantage in fitting groups for weddings, corporate functions or anytime you need a group to look their best.
By hiring from Frank Casey you can have the expensive suits without the costly outlay, or you can purchase suits at an attractive price without compromising on the quality.
All our garments are dry-cleaned and the shirts starched, by our environmentally friendly dry-cleaner so all stock goes out of our stores in perfect condition ready to wear and enjoy.
We turn over our stock regularly so your suit looks like it’s yours not hired. There is a reason we have been in business so long.
To us it’s not just a suit, it’s an event, it’s for celebrating.
