As many of you all know, Bowdens Kilt Hire will be closing its doors for the final time this year on 31st of January. Just shy of 110 years, we have been providing the people of Edinburgh and beyond with men’s formal wear as Edinburghs oldest independent formal hire company. From everyone at Bowdens, past and present, we want to thank each and every one of you that have supported us from the very start. Whether it was for a wedding, graduation, prom or any other function, we are thankful that you chose us for your party. There’s still time to grab a bargain with all of our ex hire stock so come on down, say goodbye and share some of your memories that Bowdens has been a part of. Thank you to everyone for being a part of our journey.

Well 2021 has been another challenging year for everyone but there have also been some good times too! It was lovely to meet customers old and new over the year and we were very lucky & honoured to share in celebrations which did take place this year.

Tonight’s celebrations may need to be scaled back but that hasn’t dampened our spirit!

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🍾🎊

Hello all,

Things are still a bit strange in the world as we know it, but weddings in some form are still going ahead.

So we are still OPEN if you want to look as good as (or better than) this lockdown Groom and his Groomsmen get in touch and we will do everything we can to make you look your best on your special day!

If you have hired/bought from us before could you also take a few seconds to review us on the Google reviews page or our page. This will help our small independent business to reach more people and help us keep going through these turbulent times!

Thanks,

Bowdens
