Leaf Clothing

Leaf Clothing is an independent, family-run fashion shop on Pilgrim Street in Newcastle city centre, selling menswear and womenswear since 1978. Alongside its stock of European labels, it offers made-to-measure suits, which makes it a useful stop if you want a wedding outfit cut to fit rather than a hired suit.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Leaf Clothing suits couples who would rather dress in something that reflects their own style than follow a traditional bride and groom template. With menswear and womenswear under one roof and a personal, styling-led service, you can shop together, plan outfits that complement each other and have a suit made to your own measurements.

What they offer

• Made-to-measure suits
• Menswear from labels such as Kenzo, Nigel Hall and Scotch and Soda
• Womenswear from labels such as European Culture, Twin Set and Dea Kudibal
• Shirts, shoes and jewellery to finish an outfit
• Personal styling help in store

How they work

Leaf is a walk-in shop with a personal service, so you can browse, try things on and talk through what you need with the team. For a made-to-measure suit, allow plenty of time for measuring and fittings before the wedding, and bring along any colours or details you want to match. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays.

Where they cover

The shop is in Newcastle city centre, close to Grey Street and the Monument, and easy to reach from across Tyneside and the wider North East by Metro, bus or train.
