At Bruce Julian Clothier, we have been tailoring suits to perfection longer than many so called men's retailers have been around. They have warehouses full of hundreds of suits just like the one they want you to buy, while we limit our inventory to make our customers unique. If you want that tailored look, Bruce Julian Clothier is where you need to shop.

Very nice store! I was appreciative of the nostalgic layout of the place. Very nice! I visited to get fitted for my friend’s wedding..but the guy that was working there seemed to be a bit reluctant to help me. He didn’t offer me a Bloody Mary, but maybe it’s just me lol

Bruce makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. His knowledge of suits and fabrics is vast. It was my first hand stitched suit and it did not disappoint. I'm an athletic guy and Hugo Boss, Armani and other major designers only make suits for men with skinny legs. Bruce made me the best suit I've ever owned. Ask for a Bloody Mary, he has his own mix!

Quaint shop nestled in the upscale Selwyn neighborhood . Convenient parking and cozy atmosphere within . Bruce himself is busy helping others find the right fit. Plenty of options to choose from, like most thing of quality you’ll want to take your time and try a few things on . They will custom tailor any item. The team there assisted me with measurements and the fit of the
Shirts off the shelf were spot on.

A Charlotte institution for sure. I love this place and it’s folksy demeanor. It’s no Hugo Boss or anything like that… but it’s pretty awesome just the same. Love Bruce and love the thinly boozy Bloody Marys. I’ll be back.

Bruce and co. have made me the best dressed man at the last two weddings I attended. Great selection, honest pricing, and really fun atmosphere. Walk in, tell them vaguely what you are trying to accomplish, and watch them work magic. All while sipping on the beverage of your voice. Thanks Bruce!

I just wanted to give a huge shout out to out sales associate Henry. He helped me with my purchase today. He was extremely professional, friendly and did a great job hooking me up with a beautiful suit and all the accessories to go with it. If you’re looking for a place where the staff really knows style this is it. I’ll definitely be back for my next purchase.

I recently purchased two suits and a couple of shirts from Bruce Julian. Admittedly, I am a guy with a certain style, but it does not involve wearing nice suits, or suits at all actually. I came in looking for someone who could help me to look good and just kind of provide me with some style for some upcoming interviews. Bruce Julian was perfect. He intuitively got what I was looking for (somewhat conservative, but with an understated twist). He doesn't just provide you with "a suit." He makes you look good. And he does so in a laid back non-intimidating way. I never thought I'd say this, but I

My first time in the store and Bruce was AMAZING. I can't find enough kind and complimentary words to fit in the space of this review that effectively define his attention to detail, his ability to multi-task, and his ability to solve a very unique clothing problem that I presented him with. Jan and I are so grateful for the time you spent with me. I will definitely be back for more great clothing from your unique but comfortable store.

Absolutely love this store. I typically don’t get excited about clothes but the experience here was nothing sort of magical? (Not a word I’d use lightly when shopping for clothes 😅). Thank you Bruce and staff for being a local clothier and a fantastic selection. Also, the humor behind the rubber chickens is 👌

I went in on a sunny Saturday before and it was predictably busy. I knew I'd need help so I just perused a bit and decided to come back another day. I'm so glad that I did. Bruce listened to my vision and found me a blazer that was better than anything I had in mind, and for much cheaper than I was expecting. He was a great and personable help, and I will definitely be coming back soon!

I cannot give enough praise to Bruce and his wife for my experience at Bruce Julian Clothier. They are by far the best men's clothing store I've been to in the Charlotte area and the perfect spot if you're looking for a gentlemen's look. I worked with both Bruce and Diana during my visits and they really know their stuff. They combined patterns and colors that I would've never thought of. Whether you're in the market for clothes in a business environment or to match your wife's cocktail dress, this is the place to be.

I felt like I was walking back in time when I walked into this unique place. I was searching for a quality suit different than what the chain stores offered. I found it and so much more here. And on top of all that, they serve the best bloody Mary I've had in my life here. Yes that sounds a bit odd, but it totally makes sense if you have been here and been through the experience of shopping here. For a suit wearing novice like myself, they were very patient and were able to explain the differences in suits and quality and help me make a knowledgeable decision.

Asked to be fitted for a suite (I wasn't clear on what size I was so I just wanted information) he refused basically unless I was buying something right then and there he wasn't interested in sizing me so when I'm ready he'll "have the right fit". Not really wanting to purchase here now

There are not a lot of places in Charlotte where you can find quality men's clothes without breaking the bank. The styles here are unique, yet classy. Bruce, just like his father, understands quality.

Over the years, I bought a few suits and ties from Bruce but a couple of weeks ago, I came in looking to purchase a suit for my upcoming wedding and as usual, they didn't disappoint. I explained that I didn't want the traditional tuxedo and since the wedding is in May, I want something to complement the Spring weather. Bruce showed me a very stylish and handsome tan colored suit

I love Bruce & his Magical Mystery Crew. This is the greatest men's store in Charlotte. Love the newer location. Groovy knick knacks every where. Bloody Mary's offered while you get measured and a great collection of fine italian suites, local collections, or have something special made. Yum!

I really enjoy this store. They have excellent service. They don't pressure you and offer honest advice on style, color, fit, etc.

They offer a range of clothes from formal to casual. Most are a bit unique, so you not look like everyone else wearing the same thing.

The quality is excellent and I think a good value for what this various items cost.

I do not live nearby, but believe it is well worth the trip. Also really good Bloody Mary mix!

Bruce Julian is my 'go to' clothier. I started by purchasing beautiful hand-stiched suits from him. When I returned to work, many people noticed and asked where I bought them. I referred them to Bruce's website and word spread.

I like the selection at Bruce's. I am conservative and want to grow and become more fashionable. Bruce has given me advice over the years to work towards that goal. He has a wide spectrum of clothes to choose from.

When I changed employers, I needed to adapt to the new environment. A quick visit to Bruce's did the trick. I described the dress code

I never leave one star reviews. I called this shop to inquire about the turnaround time on their tailoring service and was barked at over the phone by the owner that I should go across the street behind an ally if I wanted it fast and cheap. This is horrendous, what a complete joke! I don't care how "high end" you think you are, you still work in customer service you geriatric scab!

Update:

So this old bag of bones thought it was appropriate to try to intimidate me in my inbox LOL - how bout this, I won't be intimidated and I'll be making sure this review gets the attention

This is the best men's clothier in Charlotte, hands down. It is always difficult to shop for your man, but Bruce and his team make it easy! I walked in, told them the size and his general style, and they took over. They even wrapped it beautifully. Even though there is nothing for me, I still love shopping here. Loads of fun!

I do not usually leave negative reviews, but I am making an exception for This situation. I am a wedding professional who agreed with Bruce to donate a suit for a styled shoot that would be published and help promote local businesses, but he bailed on me the day before the shoot telling me "today is not a good day" (after we had already discussed a pick up time) and hanging up on me as I tried to explain it was too late for me to find another suit as the shoot was the following day. When I tried to call again to clarify why I had to pick up today, I was hung up on again. I would have

Simply put, Bruce is amazing. Not only did he and his incredible staff fit me in clothes that "make the man," they changed my whole image. I am no longer the recipient of sidelong glances of disgust and disapproval. I can walk down the street, head held high, and strut my stuff. Well done, indeed.

Go see Bruce. See him now.

If the saying "clothes make the man" is true, then Bruce as made a man out of me! Visit the store and let him make a man out of you too!

"SUIT UP" is definitely a phrase I do not get to use enough. That being said, I was in need of a suit and looked up Bruce Julian via yelp and saw that the store had great reviews - wanted to give it a shot, and I was not disappointed one bit.

I walked in after work around 5 pm and was immediately greeted by Diana, super -personable and ready to help me and my "suiting up" needs. Just by eyeing me in the few seconds of talking, we set out to find my size since I did not recall my jacket size. She was pretty spot on too with the first jacket I tried on... it fit like a glove

I don't know squat about suits....I primarily dress in Jordan's and other various hoops/athletic gear. Well as fate would have it, events started to pop up that required me to dress slightly better than a 6th grader.

Rather than go to a department store and just be annoyed at how ignorant I am to how humans are supposed to dress, I yelped a place that can take care of that for me. I found Bruce Julian Clothier and the Yelp reviews were spot on, too. I walked into the store and asked for help with a suit, and within 15 mins I had a suit that met my needs.

The service was great.

A real mens clothier. That's the bottom line with this place. The price point can probably turn most away but I look at it a bit differently. I figure that you can either go to Nordstrom, etc. and spend nearly the same amount and get not even close the amount of personal service.

These people working here really know how to treat you. Wine while you shop, recommendations on suitable attire and descriptions about the designers even. I also love the fact that you can get a cool funky design or if you are leaning to something more conservative, they have that too.
