Owner is super sweet! The staff is friendly. The debit machine went out due to a lot of holiday traffic. I simply ordered online and picked up in store. Awesome quality pedletons and a good variety. Need more girl pedletons! read more

Most amazing choices of board shirts.. We traveled from the Bay Area.. My babe is completely happy with all his shirts.. Evan and staff is totally great with customer service. Even after I forgot 1 of the shirts I bought he remembered me and with no problem had it shipped. Great job guys.. read more

Nice people, classic store, but I have never been to such a dump. Boxes stacked everywhere, you can hardly walk. The place smells like dust, the carpet is filthy and peeling, the walls are chipping, the sign outside is falling apart. I was looking at some glasses and they were all scratched. Clothes laying everywhere. Do not come here they don't care about their store. read more

I purchased 3 shirts from this place. when I tried to exchange 2 of the 3 I purchased the old man up front gave me the run around about exchanging them claiming they seemed a bit worn, even tho the original tags were still on the shirts! And I had not worn them! On top of that I had to dig thru a mountain of crap just to find the shirts! I can't help it if the store looks like a fucking rats nest with trash and shit all over the place! How do expect your merchandise to be in pristine condition in that shit hole you call a store! Don't go into this place it's a fucking death trap! read more

So..... I really wanted to like this place more. This is a cool trowback store and I liked my visit here. Unfortunately for a store that prides itself on such a long history ,they sure dont take care of the store. In my idea of an old school store the service is top quality and efficient. This store is the exact opposite of efficient. The service was not bad,the girls working there tried their best to help me None of the items I was interested in had price tags. The workers had to keep asking the owner for prices. When he was in the warehouse they had to call him and ask for pricing on every single item!! I know its a large store but some basic price knowledge can be helpful. Also I know the mess is a character sign ,but come on!!! Its a fire hazard and a repellent to potential customers.The boxes of clothes on the floor have to be taken care of.The back sections have piles of clothes on the floor.The store front is cool but it needs a coat of paint and new glass.It sucks that this place has so many letdowns. The people were helpful The selection was varied. I bought some things and the price was a bit high ,but reasonable. The downside:The place is messy . No price tags on most things and the place needs a cleaning and upkeep.Too bad , this place has the potential to be Iconic. read more

I have waited 40 yrs to come here. Today I was going to buy my first Pendelton. Walked in there planning on buying a few items. Walked out with 2 tshirts . The vibe was get out of my store. They made me feel like a black man in the 60s. Whatever . Drove far too. Never again. Anyone know a cool spot I can buy my first of many pendeltons? read more

If you dont know about Greenspans, you dont know shit. This place is the very epitome of Gangsta wear. Every time i come here the staff is really helpful. I bought myself 2 old vintage shirts here for $10 each and every time i wear people ask me where i got it from. Although it does smell like old man in the store, the great finds, cheap prices, and service is what keeps me coming back. Its legit, fresh to death, and super gangsta. Love it. read more

I could shop all day and I hate shopping.... If you're in the market for a Pendleton, Cascade, fidora hat, scully cap....this is the spot. Lowrider style literally oozing off the shelves. Quality, American made reproductions of old style shoes and coats.....You could walk in looking like a buster and walk out looking like a OG. Head to toe. Greenspans is family owned and has been keeping it real for Los Angeles since 1928. That alone is enough to get my respect. read more

Out of all my years of being on this planet never have I ever felt so welcomed into a store as I did today. From the moment I walked into this place I felt and smelled the history and within seconds me and my daughter were welcomed In. With the aisles being very small it's hard to maneuver a stroller so the gentleman asked what I need and i told him I had a few shirts I saved on my phone. Seeing I had my hands full with my little one the gentleman said he'd go pull the shirts for me and took pictures of my pictures on his phone and went and grabbed the shirts. Walking and looking around I didn't feel unwelcome'd or ignored like some of the other reviews on here from other people. We felt welcomed. The owner said Hello to us and was very kind to me and my daughter. The gentleman who grabbed my shirts got all the ones I wanted and well I was trying them on and looking at other stuff me and him talked. Not once did I feel rushed or unwanted. Jamie , thank you for helping me. You seriously went above and I'll definitely be back soon to grab some more clothes. I drove an hour and ten minutes to go and I wasn't disappointed. Thank you again Greenspan's for still keeping that traditional friendly sales approach. No store I've ever EVER gone to has ever made me feel that welcomed. read more

On our last trip to Cali, my husband said he wanted to stop by this shop. We got lost and stuck in traffic on a Sunday and literally walked up 10 minutes before the shop closed. The staff was so welcoming and we didn't get that "i can't believe you just walked in" look! They were helpful in finding my hubby some pendleton's he wanted and a hat. This store is jam packed with all sorts of old school goodness. It can be daunting since their selection is so great and a bit all over the place but once you tell the sales team what you are looking for they begin to pull out exactly what you need. I even walked away with a woman's tee and a poster! Definitely a great experience and we will be back next time we are in town. read more

Great selection of Pendletons and really nice and helpful staff... If you are looking for Pendletons you will want to come here...

Great store. I found so many items that I had been searching for. They have EVERYTHING that I needed. It's hard to shop for my boys, who happen to fall into the big and tall category. Greenspans has up to like 8x! I bought a few pairs of OG Winos, my teenage sons are now wearing them, and have started a trend with their friends. Where else can you get shoes for $15 bucks? I found some very cool vintage type shirts for my husband, as well as super nice dress shirts at great prices. It's definitely worth a trip from Riverside. I'll be heading there again soon for back to school shopping. read more

The store is cramped, a lil messy and it kinda leaves you confused as to where to begin but it's worth it. Almost all customers are return customers that know what they want. Huge hat selection and vintage clothing selection, Hollywood studios use Greenspan's because of this. Belts, shoes, money clips, you name it, they probably have it. And huge sizes available for our obese pals, whether pants or tops. A South Gate treasure. read more

Greenspan's is a wonderful store not only because of the great Pendleton selection but also because of the history of this place. It's been around since 1928. Clicker coats, Winos, and other hard to find items.. can't beat that. Evan is a super nice guy and Jamie Nicole.. I loved her.. even though she's not there anymore. Now the store is quite messy but hey, it's like a scavenger hunt, guaranteed to find a treasure. (= read more

I don't make it out here as much as I'd like to, but I gotta tell you every time I walk in this joint I end up walking out with my hands full and an empty wallett. It is by far in my top 5 places to shop. Now this ain't your neighborhood hollister or tilly's, this spot is for people wit' some style, anything from stacy adams to pendletons, fifties bowling shirts, pre1970 suits dating back to the 30's & possibly 20'S to winos and hushpuppies!! Be aware the store has way too much merchandise for itself, be prepared to rummage through some stuff and come with time cause there are some hard to find items. The crew will break their backs to help you out,their all really cool cats! Check this spot out when you're in South Gate.....say whattup to Harvey! read more

The only place for Pendletons by far! They also brought the Cascades back! Cool store!

This place is cool as fuck. The clothes are swanky

Awesome selection, and they shipped my custom Pendleton BEAUTIFULLY. They included a Pendleton hanger and a nice storage bag too. If you're gonna buy a new Pendleton, these folks go the extra mile. Very happy with my purchase. read more

We love Greenspan, love there variety of colors they have on there pendletons, zig zag winos and Charlie Browns. The best original clothing store in the west. read more

Great selection of clothes to choose from. Too bad the young kids working there are lame and have a chip on their shoulder.. I guess they look like cholo-greasers. Either way its a one of a kind store. read more

One of the best stores ever great customer service bar none and they have everything a working man needs plus!!!- nem Deville tattoo

This is my third or fourth time here. Yes it's packed with clothes, yes it is overwhelming. But the staff here is super friendly. They have all the pendletons on display, you just pick it out and let them know your size and they bring it. If you are looking for anything else just let them know what it is and they will bring it to you. read more

Excellent and wide range of choices for flannel and like apparel. I picked up a few pendletons from them. Excellent customer service.

Finally visited the infamous Greenspans in South Gate. I must say, the staff there is very nice and professional. The information on each piece is ridiculous. I ended up picking the beach boys pendleton. My pendleton collection started today! read more

I agree with Eric B, this is the ultimate clothing store for men. They have the best selection of Pendletons, shoes, hats, and other mens accessories. I myself drive all the way up from San Diego to shop at this store. Excellent customer and friendly service is one of the main reasons why I continue to shop at this store. read more

If you ever in the Area you have to make a stop at Greenspans in South Gate. I must say, the staff there is very nice and professional friendly and helpful. Though the place looks messy is really not. They have nice pendleton shirts I have purchased like 4 and it's continuing to grow. Definitely a great place to come in shop two thumbs up. read more

Been around forever needs to update a little very cramped makes me a little claustrophobic. But i love little shops so i suck it up.

Growing up, I would swing by here to buy clothing hard to find, haven't been here in some time. Great place to stop at and check out their selection, not your typical mall clothing read more

When to the store and got some good help right away got a nice classic dresse shirt and got my dad a fedora hat

Classic and Original clothing, very helpful staff. Mas Chingon! Check it out

Greenspans is a great place for old style clothing. I just got wind of it (2012) from an advertisement in the LA Weekly alternative newspaper. So far I have bought 2 Charlie Browns shirts and a Pendleton. Try on the clothing there since some of the sizes run a liittle larger than what you may be accustomed to. Yeah, the prices may be higher than other places but the clothing is worth it. Customer service is top notch. The only drawback I see is the messiness of the place. Stuff is piled up all over the place; consequently, one has to ask for help since it is difficult finding what you want with the store in disarray. P.S. Charlie Browns are very cool John read more

Great place. Has Hugh selection. The employee was polite, patient and very helpful. It was a last minute purchase and she went out of her way to find what I was looking for. We'll be back read more

I knew Mr.Greenspan before he passed away he was a nice old man that would tell stories about the past and i had the chance to sit and talk with the man i was trying on some shoes and just started talking to him about western shirts how it was back in the day that he just wanted clothes that where in style and but for me i was a psychobilly looking for my own style i grew up around these neck of the woods and i would go walking to go get myself a pair of winos every 3 weeks when they where 12 bux! i couldn't afford some sturdy Doc"S haha but those shoes where conferrable i was 14 at the time im 24 now so ive been to this store hundred's of times most of my clothes is actually from there im happy that i had the chance to meet Mr.Edward Greenspan a sweet old man that had the chance to know me cause he cared about his costumers till this day i still go not every week but once or twice a month its now run by his son and grand son good people. since i first started going to this store ive been able to get unique once in a rare while item of clothing that is no longer available so said Mr. greenspan but u have to dig because the good's are?? haha im not giving away that but if u look ull find something for shure. this is a store run by people that know what u like and keep makeing u come back till this day i still do! read more

Jaime who helped last week was very helpful and had the Greenspan Look. Great place and cool staff.

i was told about GREENSPAN'S from my cousin but didn't think i was going all the way to south gate from long beach for some shirts.... then i read an article that they had in a hot rod mag.... so i had to come see what it was all about. i was looking to get prices but ended up wanted to buy everything they showed me!!!! this place is one of the last great men's apparel shops. they even do 45 day lay-away... how awesome is that!!! i didn't even get to see the whole store but this is where i'm going to now on! read more

Beware of their return policy for online orders. A 50% restocking charge plus you'll pay shipping both ways. I ended up spending over $50.00 and ended up with nothing. Returns staff (Evan) was uncompromising and snide. read more

So I went to this place not sure on what to expect by recommendation by a friend trying to get a mod 50s style look for my wedding. I had been looking for weeks in different stores and so far all I had was a 50s vintage tie and suspenders, I walked in and placed them on the register and showed them to Josh and explained the situation and in a constant he replied "oh ok dude no problem"! He called one of his guys showed him the toe and suspenders in less than half an hour he hooked me up with awesome shirt, tailored slacks with the right cuff according to the period I was shooting for and some gorgeous Stacy Adams. Then to top it all off this guy out of the kindness of his heart without me even asking or insinuating anything at the time of charging me gave me a huge discount and he just looked and smiled and said "come on dude it's your wedding it's a special occasion"... Truly made the whole experience that much special. I've been back numerous times now and always a great experience, even when they are super busy. Thank you Josh and staff for the great service! read more

Aron is the man! Love this place, RIP "OLD MAN GREENSPANS" and CHUCO! This place is legendary and historical.... proud that your in my city.

Pretty good place for all old school clothes. Looked for charlie browns and found them here after a long search. Prices aren't bad. Overall pretty cool place. read more
