I will never go to another clothing store again besides this one. My job requires me to dress business casual, and I needed some sports jackets, pants, shirts, shoes and socks. Vlad, who showed me the best customer service, sized me for everything and picked out basically all of my clothes. He took his time and encouraged I try everything on. I was able to get everything I needed, and for a great price. I have been complimented all week on these clothes. Thank you Vlad and The Clothing Store for a truly one of a kind experience. See you guys soon

I needed a size 46 short suit for a wedding that was taking place very shortly. It is hard to find one choice at other places. The Clothing Center had three. I was treated professionally by a knowledgeable and quite helpful staff. My suit was ready when promised and fit me perfect. The price was also perfect. I doubt I could find another clothier that would compare with my experience at The Clothing Center. I will definitely return when I need to.

I've been shopping the Clothing Center since 1980, when they were in the old Robert Hall store. You can't find a better men's/boy's/formal wear clothing store anywhere in the State. I still have shoes that I bought 25-30 years ago, because the quality is so good. The quality and variety of the merchandise, and the service of the staff is impeccable. I would highly recommend the Clothing Center to anyone in need of a suit or tuxedo...you won't be sorry.

This store has horrible customer service. Looks like they hate to be bothered by customers.
Unfortunately, I don't have names. My husband and I came to rent a tuxedo. All employees were busy with other customers. We were waiting for about 10 minutes until a young salesperson asked us what we needed. I said that we want to check their tuxedos and we don't have an appointment. Young man replied that this is OK, he pointed out to the older salesperson, and said that he will help us as soon as he is available. This young man didn't ask us if we wanted to rent or buy a tuxedo. We were

Extremely helpful. I visited three other stores trying to find suits for my boys and myself. The other stores made it easy to leave because nobody was interested in helping me.
I enter the clothing center and was immediately greeted with assistance and help finding what I needed. Everyone was extremely helpful and made this a great shopping experience. Steve and Wayne were wonderful to work with. I was worried my kids were going to melt down at some point, but it never happened. Everyone was well organized and engaging. I’ll be a regular shopper here from now on.

My son needed a suit for a wake, he didn’t have much money because of it being terribly unexpected... We were greeted as soon as we walked through the doors by the sweet young lady behind the register.. The owner Steve, looked over my son, we told him my son’s price range.. The owner said come with me, pulled out only a few, fit him perfectly!!! I was so amazed how well the owner knew without measuring my son!! This man was amazing, you could see the passion in his eyes of how much he loves what he does, and wants to help people in a difficult time!!! Thank you so much Steve!!! God bless you

This place is THE place. I have purchased several suits from the amazing selection here, all with the help of Vlad. His taste in style, his professional courtesy and his ability to work within a budget without up-selling or pressuring you makes it a pleasure to buy any item. I was so satisfied with everything about this place I trusted Vlad with my wedding tux, wedding party and my Father-In-Laws tux. My 9 groomsmen who came in a variety of heights and sizes were dressed sharply and the suits, shirts, shoes and ties we're tailored to perfection, all within an EXTREMELY reasonable budget. I've found

Excellent service. Every employee has a passion for making you the best dressed person in the room. I bought a custom suit for my upcoming wedding and they over delivered on quality, customer service, and attention to detail. The whole process was fantastic! Ask for Vlad, he'll hook you up. Thanks again guys! I'm your customer for life!

It's changed for the worse. I have bought dozens of suits here and I've always been happy with their quality and service.
My most recent trips have been very different. The tailor messed up the alterations on a suit I bought there, and it looked terrible. They still would not let me exchange it for a different suit.
The manager insisted that they had done nothing wrong, so they didn't need to exchange the suit. He had the nerve to tell me that WHILE his tailor was trying to fix the previous errors. P.s. he didn't fix it. It still looked bad, and I will never spend another

Went here to get a brand new suit for myself and my 8 year old son. The owner, Steve, is a class act. You will be treated like gold by the employees and provided with really helpful suggestions. The tailoring is also exceptional. They will alter every square inch if need be to make the clothes fit perfect. The place itself is nothing fancy, but they are supposedly moving into a new storefront in the near future (the front of the former K Mart). Definitely check this place out.

I knew from the beginning where I wanted to get my tux from but let me say I am a female and I was very nervous going into any place and saying the tux was for me. The second I walked in I was greeted with open arms and never looked at differently. I worked side by side with Vlad the manager of the store and I'm so glad I did. His style is awesome and I was never afraid to ask if something didn't look good. I knew I didn't want to rent a suit because I wanted a certain color which meant I had to buy it. We all know going from rental to buy can increase the price by a lot. When I

I needed a tux and suit for my sons upcoming wedding. I am a very hard fit, but Steve the owner bent over backwards to satisfy my needs. I purchased a made to measure tux that required additional alterations, but his tailor took care of everything. I had the same results with the other garments I purchased
I thank Steve and his staff especially the tailors for all their time, effort and excellent results. They truly understand what customer service and customer satisfaction means.

Love this place - all of the employees are incredibly kind and helpful. Jim found the perfect suit for me - high quality yet affordable. He also took the time to find me several shirts & tie combo options to compliment the suit. On top of that, I was only in town visiting for a short amount of time and they made sure to get my alterations done in time for me before I returned to LA. I got a suit from these guys 6 years ago and I still wear it, was happy to be a return costumer, and will continue to give them my business for years to come. Highly recommend!!

This store with unfortunate parking is larger than you'd imagine. It's all formal men's clothes. The people working there are super nice and helpful. The reason this isn't five stars is it's pricey. They do have sales, like $80 sweaters marked down to $40. Don't go for sweaters, it's not their specialty. They have tons of sizes and they will fit you. If you want a suit, go here first.

This place is great. You need to ask for Steve (the owner) or Vlad- They really understand men's fashion and the nuances between different suits/manufacturers, fit and quality. I've purchase 4 suits here with custom matching ties / coordinated pocket squares, custom stitched the buttonholes and button thread on the jackets. For my 10yr old son they restructured 2 men's tie, tailored his shirts, and essentially made-to-measure his 2 suits. this is my new go-to place.... All at prices that are VERY competitive for the quality.

I just picked up my Burberry suit after bringing it to them to have it tailored. They said it would take about 2 weeks so I left it for almost 3 weeks. I paid $52 just to tailor the pants alone. This is upsetting as the job was obviously rushed. I wear a suit everyday and own over 6 high end suits. I have never seen such a poor job done and only realized when I put it back up on its hanger.
Take a look at the photos below.

The inside of this place defiantly does not match the uninviting outside. There is a great variety of formal clothes, many at good /reasonable prices for my budget. Def. will come back to this place next time I need formal clothes. The service was interesting. The person who attended us was very informative and good at providing service regarding clothing needs.... This came with a non-welcoming attitude, though. He seemed to have a flare of cold elite arrogance since some many of my questions were met with rolling eyes--as if I should know all the answers to the questions I asked or be an expert

Store is located right behind Kmart off Rt 18. They have plenty of staff members to help you and a large selection. I came here for a suit for my christmas party for work and I was able to get an entire collection from long coat to accessories. Walked away buying a nice Michael Kor's Suit.
The sales person was very friendly and professional. The Introduction came first, then down to business next. I don't know if their commission or salaried based. Too helpful and recommending a lot of different items for him to be salaried based. But, I'll have to take his word for it.

This store sits right on the side of kmart on rt. 18. They have a hug selection of quality name brand suits. Dkny, Ralph Lauren, Tommy, Armani and all the others.
They can match u up with a shirt, tie, handkerchief, shoes. They do all the altering if needed.
Their prices are a little up there but you can't go wrong with them.
