Spice Fashion - Man About Menswear and Formal Hire
David and Julie Seymour took over the long-running business in August last year and have expanded their range to include sales as well as hire.
"I started off in Menswear when I was 14. We saw the business advertised and thought it was a great opportunity. We are one of the only stores in Mackay where you can hire as well as purchase. We are one of the largest retailers of suits in Mackay," Mr Seymour said.

The company sells not only suits for weddings, business and formals but also casual clothing, race wear, and accessories.
"We have lots of beautiful fabrics, Egyptian cottons and poly-cotton mixes which are great weights for North Queensland climates. We also have a large range of dress shirts and business shirts," Mr Seymour said.
French Blues, Blues, Char-greys and Navy are extremely popular in suits and Mr Seymour has seen a return in popularity to tuxedos, classic black and white and a more modern approach with floral jackets.
Man About also stocks mini-versions of suits for toddlers and children.
"We can match size 0 to any men's suit in the store. So dad and junior can match. "We also stock a large range of dress trousers and chinos which are good for race days. There has been a large beach-wedding revolution, where men are wearing braces and vests rather than suit coats. We sell cufflinks, braces and ties too" he said.
"We have Florsheim shoes which are handcrafted in London, Platinum from Melbourne and Julius Marlow. Men are taking a lot of pride in themselves."
