Store Reopening - April 12th February 22 2021

Following the PM's somewhat contradictory announcement today, our store being part of 'non-essential retail' (sic) will be allowed to reopen on Monday 12th April - if Government measures are met. 

Whilst we are disappointed that this is someway off, we will be delighted to see you in store again and offer you many of our new collections which are still being delivered for the SS21 season. 

Our website will still be available 24/7 as ever and new lines are being added daily as follows while we are still closed. 

It has been a stressful time for businesses like ourselves since the first lockdown in March 2020, as we have received very little in the way of Government support. We urge you to support all small businesses as much as you can over the coming months to help them slowly overcome what has been the most difficult time in their history. For some, it may already be too late.

Russell Athletic Coming to J&B February 18 2021

We are very pleased to announce that Russell Athletic will be coming to J&B Menswear for Autumn/Winter 2021. The collection will be available both instore and online and we're very confident you will be pleased for what we have to offer. More details nearer the time!

Spring Season Blog/Covid Update January 28 2021

First of all, we would like to send a big thank for your patronage while under lockdown. It is difficult for many in the current situation, but we appreciate all the support you have given us in these challenging times. 

We are often getting asked how the lockdown is affecting us as a business and what the future will hold? While it is hard to give a definitive answer, especially as it is unclear when this lockdown will end. We believe this will be around the first week in May. 

Deliveries for SS21 will still be arriving, although some are being re-scheduled slightly later than initially planned due to the enforced closure of our store, though we still expect all Spring deliveries to be completed by the time the current lockdown ends. 

Without any doubt online shopping will be the way the majority of consumers shop in the future and that will never change. We will continue to change and evolve our business to consumer demands as we have always done. However, we strongly believe there will always be a core of consumers that want to shop in physical stores and want the level of service that no online business can provide. 

For as long as that remains the case, we are strongly committed to retain J&B Menswear as a multi channel business, rather than going down the road of exclusively being an e-tailer, which is one we wish to avoid. 

We look forward to the day we permanently open our doors again and see you all again. In the meantime, our website will still be fully functioning 24/7, with click and collect and telephone still available from our store between 10.00 - 4.00 weekdays and 09.00 - 10.30 Saturdays. 

Stay safe!

Lockdown V.3/Temporary Magdalen Road Store Closure - UPDATE December 24 2020

Due to the Lockdown announced by the Government, or Magdalen Road store has been closed since Boxing Day. This is very frustrating for us and our customers, but we are bound by law. We are expecting this to last until March or even April, with possible closures later in the year. Therefore it likely that being open will be the exception, rather than the rule for 2021. Let's hope this isn't the case. 

Some large retailers are stopping Click & Collect services, but we believe being a smaller retailer, we can still do this safely. Therefore we will keep this service open for as long as legislation allows it.

Our website will be functional 24/7 and we still be shipping worldwide while lockdown continues. We are taking telephone orders too. 

click & collect: 1000-1600 (Monday/Friday) 0900-1030 (Saturday)

enquiries: email@jandbmenswear.com

telephone enquiries/orders: 01603 424929

As in store vouchers are not able to be used online, please give us a call or email as you can use these on a pre order collection basis. 

We like to thank you for your support in what has been the most challenging years in modern times and one many wish they could forget. 

We all hope for better times ahead later in 2021.

Store Reopening June 15th May 29 2020

We are very pleased to announce that our Magdalen Road Store will be re-opened to the public from Monday 15th June. 

We have been operating from our website only since Lockdown back in March and we thank the public greatly for their support over this period. It has been invaluable. 

COVID-19 is still a global issue and as a result, we will enforce government guidelines to ensure that our store is safe for our customers and our staff and are subject to change or amendment depending on regulations. Our store has plenty of space for these measures to be carried out safely with your co-operation. Some of these measures will include:

• Keeping at least 2 Metres apart from other shoppers and staff.

• Shopping alone if possible. Larger groups will not be permitted.

• Use card or contactless payment if possible. 

• Changing room use will not be permitted under current guidelines. 

• Hand sanitiser will be provided upon entry.

* Some areas may be restricted to staff only, e.g Toilets, Denim Bar. 

We would recommend customers to use our website as first preference where possible. Postal charges are free on all items in the U.K. 

If you are self isolating, unwell, or experiencing symptoms of the Corona Virus, please stay at home.

Our Opening Hours will be revised going forward. We will still open 6 days per week, but from 0930 -1700. We will still be closed on Sundays and all Bank Holidays, except Good Friday. 

We look forward to seeing you all in due course, for better times ahead.

COVID-19/J&B FAQ April 02 2020

We've been getting a number of queries regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. So we thought we would answer the most frequent ones. 

How long will your store be closed for? 

We are in the same position as all clothing retailers in that we can only re-open when the Government gives us permission when it is safe to do so. We hope by June, but it could be as late as September.  

How can I buy items from you until then? 

From this online store - as long as we are allowed to - and we are still delivering worldwide where countries are still accepting deliveries. We have made all items 15% off in this period, with free delivery and returns for the U.K.

What I usually buy from you I can't find on your website?

We unfortunately don't offer everything we stock on our website. Sometimes this is due to lack of imagery or contractual reasons, but we are working hard to make more items available. Please contact us and will we do our very best to add it to our site. 

How can I contact you? 

It is best to contact us via sales@jandbmenswear.com, via our Facebook page on messenger or Instagram. Alternatively, you can call us on 016034242929, though our hours are limited 10.30 - 3.45 Mon - Friday and is subject to change. 

I only live up the road, can you let me in? 

No. Despite being internally manned for service of our website, our shop is closed to the public until it is safe to reopen. 

Are brands still sending deliveries to you? 

In most cases, we have had our SS20 deliveries in, so we have plenty of stock in most areas. The majority of brands have suspended deliveries as most stores have closed, but the situation is fluid. 

What about AW20 deliveries? 

This is a big unknown. Usually these would start in July, but much depends on how long the lockdown continues. The longer it lasts, many collections will either be delayed, downsized or cancelled as Brands may decide not to release collections in the current climate. 

What about SS21 Collections? How will you be able to view them? 

Most Collections are viewed in London, so much depends on how long the lockdown lasts for. Brands could use apps such as Zoom, or more likely, viewing will be delayed by a few months, with smaller collections available. 

Will you still be in business after Lockdown? 

Absolutely. We have an excellent relationship with all our brand partners who will continue to work with us in this unprecedented and challenging time. While the lockdown is a tremendous burden on all clothing retailers - especially Independents - we will still be here to service our increasingly multi channel based business. 

Please keep an eye on this website and social media for updates. Most importantly, stay safe!

UPDATE - COVID 19 - Temporary Magdalen Road Store Closure March 23 2020

With much sadness, we have closed our Magdalen Road store until further notice.

As a family business, we have never had to do this in our 54 year history, but we believe it is vital for everyone to play their part to combat the spread of the Coronavirus, so we can all move forward to better times ahead.

We thank you for your tremendous support and look forward to seeing you when it is safe to do so.

UPDATE - 15% OFF Promotion March 20 2020

With the Coronavirus taking hold across the globe meaning life for all of us isn't quite the same. Buying clothes is hardly an important thing in people's minds. 

However, for those that are still looking for that certain something, we are offering 15% off all items until we can reopen our physical store.   

The discount will automatically be deducted at the checkout - no promo code needed. 

Stay safe and take care for one another. 

March News - COVID-19 - Enhanced Free Shipping Policy March 12 2020

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 Coronavirus is having significant consequences to retail industry as we all take action against the spread of the strain. Nobody is under any illusions of how long the outbreak will last, but it is likely to last months.

As the public is entering a self containment phase, shops will be much quieter than normal at best. Online shopping will be the main focus for those that do continue to shop, so we are offering the following for those that cannot or can no longer make it to our store. 

• Free U.K Shipping at any value. 

Previously free shipping was available for items of £50 and more, but now delivery will be free below that amount, though this will be Tracked 48. 

• Free U.K Returns

Free U.K returns will be available for the first time, with our Free Tracked 48 label. 

EU shipping remains unchanged at present, though there will be an update next month on shipping costs. 

We hope all our customers take extra care during this period and we look forward to seeing you when this virus has thankfully passed.

May Newsletter May 16 2019

We are now coming up to one of our busiest times of the year, with another Bank Holiday approaching and hopefully with some warmer weather on the way.

June will see our buying team start selecting pieces for SS20 and we will keep you up to date with the trends and brands for that season on this site and social media platforms. 

This season has seen the successful reintroduction of Ben Sherman, with their top tier 'Archive Collection'. It is important for us as with some other Independents, to have a point of difference from the multiples away from the mass market with more discerning collections. This philosophy will be increased going forward. 

Colours & Sons is a new collection for us which will be landing in August. This is related to our best selling shirt brand, Fynch Hatton, but is much more niche and vibrant with unique designs. They do not 'ordinary', so we hope you will like what they have to offer, which will be exclusive to our store in Norwich. 

Levi's® continues to be out top denim performer, but sadly due to contractual reasons, this cannot be bought on this platform. However, their sister brand Dockers® is available here and has exceeded our expectations, with their four way stretch chino. A much expanded version of the collection will be available from June. 

Brutus have suspended their operation, which is a great shame to us as it was our best selling brand online, particularly in North & South America. Their owner is pursuing other business interests, but if things change with a new collection, you will be the first to know. Original Penguin has been dropped.

We would also like to remind customers that we will no longer be opening on Sundays in December. Changing shopping habits with consumers migrating to online - as with other retailers - means it is no longer patronised to a financially viable level. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please keep an eye out for new AW19 items from our brand partners in the coming weeks, which will be a mixture of lighter pieces for the summer and more layered pieces. 

We sincerely thank you again for your continued support.

Brutus London Special Offer February 22 2019

Brutus London has been a great success for us since its relaunch several years ago. It has been a cult global hit, with orders spanning the Globe from Brazil to Belgium, Canada to Costa Rica, South Africa to South Korea and so forth. As we were one of the original Brutus stockists from our inception in 1966, we are proud of what has been achieved. 

However, as there are currently no plans for a 2019 Collection, we are selling existing 2017 and 2018 Collections at the special price of £35.00. These may become Collector's items of the future, so please keep an eye on our website as we are still receiving weekly deliveries until stocks run dry. 

If you have any questions, please contact us enquiries@jandbmenswear.com

Sunday Closing Announcement January 05 2019

We announce that we will no longer be opening on Sundays from 2019.

Traditionally we have always opened on Sundays in December, as it was particularly useful for those who could not make it to our store during regular hours.

However while our business continues to grow, shopping patterns are shifting from physical to online, with an increasing amount of our customers preferring to use our website means that footfall has become progressively weaker. Sundays have been in annual decline for some years to the point that they are no longer commercially viable. 

As we are a family business with limited time off during the year we have decided to spend some much needed time off on Sundays going forward, therefore our store will be closed on that day. 

We will still be open 6 days a week and we have invested heavily in our website which is online 24/7 for you to browse and purchase in your own time, so you can still enjoy J&B Menswear in the future. 

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we hope you understand the decision we have made.

If you have any queries, then please do not hesitate to contact us at info@jandbmenswear.com or pop in store. 

Merry Christmas! December 24 2018

We would like to wish all our customers, both online and in store a Very Merry Christmas! We will be closed on Christmas Day & Boxing Day, reopening at 9.00 a.m on the 27th December. Our website will be open 24/7, with despatches also starting on the 27th.
