Permanent Style

Permanent Style

Earlier this month Dick’s was awarded Permanent Style’s coveted Best Menswear Shop 2020. This accolade means a huge amount to us. For the past ten years, Simon Crompton has been the go to source for style insight, suiting history and advice on how to dress better. His website has evolved into a huge community of style enthusiasts looking to engage with like-minded aficionados. Simon now travels the world helping to develop brands, giving talks on menswear, contributing to newspapers and magazines as well as developing his own Permanent Style collection. 

As the world speeds up and fast-fashion appears to dominate, it is good to know that there are like-minded people who oppose this 'want it now, get it now' attitude. We have always focussed on manufacturing, quality and provenance building lasting relationships with our suppliers, who we work with season after season. 

A fantastic part of Simon’s website is the interaction from his readership. We have been overwhelmed with the flattering comments left by his community; here are a few of our favourites:
"I love Dicks, as an Edinburgh local it is about the only interesting shop we have”.
 
"Dick’s is a beautiful shop run by really nice people… his award reminds us, hopefully, that we need to support stores like this, which in turn support companies like Harley and Inis Meain. Vote with your wallet; stop in and buy something.
"Love this. Nice to see a small business get more coverage whilst also letting me learn about quality brands I can look up.”
 
"Nice to see a menswear store doing good things to keep men in style.
 
"It’s great to see a good independent being celebrated."
