Gents Shop

Gents Shop, online men's accessories from Pocklington

Gents Shop is a British online retailer specialising in classic men's accessories. Its catalogue is organised around a handful of product families: trouser braces, cufflinks, ties and bow ties, handkerchiefs, wallets, buttons and a smaller accessories section. The company presents itself as a small business and states that orders are placed securely through its website, with deliveries made only within the UK.

The shop operates under the domain gentsshop.co.uk and lists a postal address in Pocklington, York. Its range is built around formal and semi-formal dress details rather than full garments, and several product lines appear under registered names such as GS Braces, GS Cufflinks and Mandittions.

Trouser braces as the core line

Braces form the most developed part of the catalogue. The store groups them by shape and fastening, distinguishing X-shape and Y-shape braces, clip-on models, button-on models and leather-end braces. It also separates extra long, slim and heavy duty versions, and offers buttons for braces as a separate item.

Beyond construction, the range is sorted by colour and pattern. Colour options include beige, black, blue, burgundy, green, grey, red, white and yellow, while patterned lines cover paisley, polka dot, striped and tartan designs. Further categories group hunting braces, unisex braces and wedding braces, and there is an end of line section for discontinued braces.

Among the items flagged as bestsellers at the time of writing were plain black elastic trouser braces with large clips, plain white and midnight blue versions of the same model, black and beige button-on braces, a midnight blue pair with heavy duty large strong clips, plain deep red braces with large clips, a plain black pair and navy blue paisley braces with silver clips. Listed prices for these models ranged from £23.95 to £44.95, with several shown at a reduced price against a higher original figure.

Cufflinks sorted by theme

The cufflink collection is unusually broad in its thematic organisation. Categories include animal and fish, aviation, country sports, emergency services, farming, flags and emblems, food and drink, gambling and casino, hobby, job and professional, knot, masonic, military, motoring, music, nautical, novelty, playing cards, skull, special occasion, sport, technology, transport and wedding cufflinks, alongside a classic line and a selection grouped as favourites.

Examples of individual designs named in the bestsellers section were Welsh dragon, rugby ball, world map, ship's anchor, bicycle and Spitfire cufflinks, each listed at £16.95. The store also presents cufflinks within a business and corporate gifts section.

Ties, handkerchiefs, wallets and shirt details

The tie range is divided into country, floral, paisley, patterned and plain designs, with colour groupings covering black, blue, green, multi-coloured, polka dot, red and striped ties, plus a dedicated bow tie category. Handkerchiefs are split between men's white handkerchiefs and embroidered handkerchiefs, and the bestsellers list included a box of three large white cotton handkerchiefs at £7.99, extra large red and blue spotted hankies at £11.95 and tartan hankies at £13.95.

Smaller accessory lines complete the offer: collar stiffeners, dress shirt studs, lapel pins, shirt armbands, tie clips and wallets. A separate buttons section is organised by diameter, from 11mm to 28mm, and by colour, including black, blue, brown, burgundy, clear, cream, green, grey, pink, red and white.

Ordering, delivery and customer service

Orders are handled through the website, and the company states that deliveries are made only to the UK. Free UK delivery is advertised on orders over £60, and a next working day delivery option is offered. The site also maintains sections for delivery options and policy, returns policy, ordering help, terms and conditions, cookies and privacy, a newsletter and a blog that includes guidance on braces sizes.

For enquiries, the company notes that as a small business it is not always able to answer phone calls and directs customers to an online contact form or email for a quicker response. It also provides a customer feedback section and a video guides area.
