About us:
CT2 Suit Hire is a long established, trusted, family-run menswear specialist located in the heart of Blanchardstown Village, Dublin 15. The business has its roots in the tailoring expertise of founder Herbert Farrell, who began his career in the 1960s before establishing his own successful alterations business in 1971. After decades of providing expert tailoring services to some of Ireland’s leading menswear retailers and even the Irish World Cup team in 1994, the family launched CT2 (“The City Tailor 2”) in Blanchardstown in 2005, initially specialising in traditional formalwear before expanding into contemporary wedding and occasion suits. CT2 combines generations of tailoring knowledge with modern technology to offer premium suit hire and sales for weddings and black-tie events. With a reputation for exceptional personal service, expert fittings and high-quality garments, CT2 has become one of Dublin’s leading destinations for men’s formalwear.
Our belief:
We think that every groom deserves to feel their very best on one of the most important days of his life. We want to create a happy and confident groom so that when he stands in front of all the guests, he will feel ready to take on the next chapter of his life.
Since opening in Blanchardstown in 2005, our mission has remained the same: deliver exceptional tailoring, unrivalled customer service and an experience that is professional but relaxed at the same time.
Every consultation begins with listening. We take time to understand the groom’s personality, style, the wedding venue and overall vision before gathering the various looks. Whether it’s a classic black tuxedo, a timeless three-piece, or a more laid back mix and match suit, our goal is never to push our own ideas, it is to find the perfect suit based on what our grooms want.

What truly sets CT2 Suits apart? …. The overall experience
Many of our customers arrive feeling uncertain. Some have never worn a tux or a full three-piece suit before or they have concerns about the heat. Others have struggled to find clothing that fits comfortably or flatters their build. By the time they leave, they stand taller, happy with their choice and they feel genuinely excited about their wedding day. That transformation is why we do what we do.
Our commitment extends far beyond the groom. We coordinate the entire wedding party from Groomsmen, fathers, pageboys to Bridesmen ensuring consistency in style while respecting each individual’s fit and comfort. We understand that everyone has different needs, body shapes, and personalities, and we pride ourselves on making everyone feel included and the overall experience enjoyable.
Alterations: Attention to detail is everything.
Every alteration, every fitting, every finishing touch is handled with care because a perfect fit is not achieved by accident, it is achieved through dedication. Our dedicated team and tailors will make sure that your suit could not fit better if it was made to measure.
We know weddings rarely follow a planned schedule. Last-minute changes happen. Sizes change. New groomsmen are added. Flights are delayed. Our team consistently goes above and beyond to minimize the disruption of changes so that there is no stress involved from the couple.
Our mission has always been simple:
Treat every wedding as if it were our own family’s wedding.
This approach has earned us loyal customers who return for future milestones black-tie events, graduations, and even their own children’s communions, debs and weddings years later. Many of our new clients come through recommendations from former Brides and Grooms.
The photographs colourfully displayed on our walls and Instagram pages are a small selection of the happy family business that we are so proud of. The gratitude of our couples is measured by countless thank-you cards and photos received after the weddings and the recommendations passed between families, friends, and generations.
Every member of our team shares the same values: honesty, professionalism, genuine warmth and an unwavering commitment to customer service and satisfaction. We understand that we are privileged to become part of one of life’s biggest celebrations and therefore we treat that privilege with the utmost care.
The entire team were on the ball each and every outing we had in the lead up To our wedding and that was a large task given a wedding party of 7. Choice was great, service top notch and the team always handled each and every query and modification as required. Thanks to the entire team for their efforts
