Halon Menswear was founded in 1905 in Manchester. The Shrewsbury branch opened in 1951 making it the oldest trading retailer on the High Street in Shrewsbury today. Behind the 1950's facade lies an Aladdin's cave of traditional gentlemens clothing, ranging from suits and jackets, to shirts and accessories.
Halon Menswear was founded in Manchester in 1905 by Wolf Halon. Originally he made hats, caps and shirt collars-back then shirts had separate collars and decided to start retailing the items he made himself. The original shop was destroyed in 1940 in the Manchester blitz. 1938 at the age of 58.
The next generation of three brothers based in Manchester built up the business to a maximum of 26 shops by the 1970s, with a 4th brother running a London branch.The London branch was located at 91 Baker Street before relocation to 122 Edgeware Road. The Manchester empire started expand to the Manchester suburbs and towns outside Manchester, then along the A62 and A49 roads.

My son-in-law needed a new jacket for a job interview that he was given late notice about; we were on holiday from the North East with our families in Church Stretton and the interview was in Solihull before we returned home. We went clothes shopping in Shrewsbury and were having difficulty finding a jacket that was 'just right'; we were directed… to Halon (by another outfitters who were unable to help) and Gareth and Andrew were tremendously helpful and understanding of exactly what was needed. My son-in-law was shown not one, but 2 jackets that were wonderful - one of which was absolutely

The team at Halon are fantastic and deliver excellent customer service each and every time I visit.
Over the years, I have bought a number of suits, jackets, shirts and ties from the shop. Each time, I have been treated extremely well and given wonderful support and advice with my purchase.
The pricing is competitive and fair, and I have received… excellent value for money because of the quality of stock. I bought a Magee jacket a number of years back and wear it about 60% of the time during Autumn, Winter and Spring.
Can’t recommend highly enough.

Visited for the fist time last week to purchase a suit for a forthcoming family wedding. It is fair to say that I am not a standard size and the usual national retailers do not stock my size nor do they have knowledgeable staff to assist.
Within a few minutes of entering Halon Menswear I was wearing a suit that fitted me perfectly and even had a matching shirt and tie ! The two gentlemen in the shop just seemed to know my size without even having to resort to a tape measure. I had their undivided attention and was instantly put at ease, it was a pleasant experience and I felt valued as a customer

Amazing service, value and experience. Great modern styles available and a good stock with good level of good old fashioned service too that you just won't get in any remaining chain retailers. Highly recommended for everyday and special occasions too, for guys young and old alike. A pleasure to do business with 😊

I have seen this shop many times in passing when visiting family great window display of tweed suits . Today I drove all the way from Stoke on Trent to buy one. I was not disappointed I got served by Paul who was very helpful and provided me with everything I wanted and more. I would highly recommend and will be visiting again well worth the drive how ever far away you live. Thank you all .

What a fantastic experience, its a while since I bought any nice clothes, but an upcoming occasion made me decide to treat myself and dress as an adult again
Paul briefly waved a tape measure around me then gave me clothes that fitted perfectly, and in fabrics that I would have never considered if left to my own devices
The trousers need shortening, but these will be done for first thing tomorrow morning, I looked in the mirror in my new togs and felt like a million dollars, I feel good about my self for the first time in years, thankyou so much for looking after me
I recommend Halon Menswear

My mum received amazing service when she had to pick up a new suit for my Grandad who, due to personal reasons, was unable to attend the shop personally and Halon offered for her to take 2 different sizes of trousers home for him to try.
The service my mum received was brilliant and truly appreciated during a difficult time for our family, thank you.
