Let customers speak for us
from 161 reviewsI purchased these for my husband. He was frustrated by the poor quality of the Chinese manufactured braces on offer in our local shops.The braces you sell are made in England, and have 4 sturdy clips which don't ping off at the slightest movement. Definitely recommended, and there is a good choice of designs/colours.
I’m in business myself and have an eye for High Street Service versus Online ….and I maintain that the value/service provided by many High Street Shops is well worth continuing to support versus Amazon’esque Online Retailers.
…..and so whilst on a few days holiday in Dumfries & Galloway I popped into G E Livingston where over 2 visits I met Lewis (son), his Father & Mother, all working away busily and with a real passion for their customers and old fashioned attentive/helpful customer service. So much so, that I bought 3 pairs of trousers (one pair was altered by their in-house tailor whilst I went for lunch with my good lady) and I also bought a pair of fine Loakes Shoes which were subsequently posted to me as they ordered my size in.
The “Sales Family” were a delight to deal with, couldn’t have been more helpful and perhaps I could have shopped about online to save some £££’s however that would have simply been disrespectful to the people that spent time & attention with me, assisting me with over £600 worth of clothing/shoes.
So… I say simply this …..Visit your local shops or ones in towns or villages that you visit and if the service is this good and they have items you want to buy then really consider buying them from that business as it will help them remain in business rather than our High Streets becoming littered with empty shops that were victims of the “March of Online Retail” …..albeit others will fail for valid reasons.
Read the History of Livingston’s as a Family Business…. In my view, they are a wonderful example of why so called “Old Fashioned Customer Service” deserves to be applauded and commended …..and why customers really should reward that dedication to service by spending in that business, rather than just seeking the cheapest online option.
I spent my hard earned £600+ at Livingston’s and was delighted to do so. Well done to Father, Mother & Son …..truly a family-run business that excels with its service.

Bought for my son’s 18th birthday - thought he needed to be smartened up. After searching multiple websites I came upon these braces, which are incredibly smart and will last him a lifetime. Very pleased with these - my husband wants some now!!
I bought a couple of pair of these boxer shorts from the shop two years ago and they have been brilliant, very comfy, excellent quality. So when I wanted some extra pairs for going on holiday to Canada I was so happy Livingston’ were online. The shorts arrived very quickly and as I said earlier they are excellent quality, and Livingston’s ensured all are different patterns, exactly what I wanted.
Great product and top customer service from a family business that strives to give customers quality and value.
I’m 5ft 8”, 41 chest, 32w and the t shirt in medium is a nice fit, not tight or loose. A heavier cotton but very soft and comfortable. The quality is good and seems very durable. A good buy.
