This was the closest place here in OC to find BBC stuff but it doesn't look like they have much of it anymore. I only look at the shirts and hats because the jackets and pants/shorts always seem way over priced. I know some of these are limited edition but c'mon.. if you want $250 for a jacket you're gonna have to add more than a patch or small graphic to a regular looking jacket/hoodie to get my business. Also, this place could use some better customer service. I don't know how many times I've stopped by and the guy at the desk just sits there clicking away on the computer.

Commissary is probably the best streetwear boutique in the OC. They carry brands like Stussy, Huf,…read moreSupreme, Bounty Hunter, Undefeated, BBC, Clientele, Ice Cream, Fucking Awesome, and their own self-titled brand. The signs in the store are hilarious! "We don't care about your 'brand'. So please, don't ask if we want to sell it." I forgot the other one, it went on the lines of "no shirt, no shirts, no bullshit??" or "we don't take any of your bullshit"...I forgot, blunt..but real and funny. The store itself is real sleek. One of the nicer shops I've been to. Workers are chill, they have displays out, most of their supply is in the back, just ask for various sizes.

The store is 2 stories and they sell everything from home goods, cards, gifts, clothes for the whole family and much more! As a creative person who studied fashion merchandising, their displays were everything to me. It reminded me a little of Anthropology, with more of a boho/hippy vibe. The whole store is extremely visually appealing and has a "hangout vibe". It is the perfect store for this area. It totally goes with the theme. The staff are super friendly and helpful too! Can't wait to go back!

We picked up a vest that was clearly marked at $160. When we went to pay, the cashier told my wife the price was actually $200. We understand that pricing mistakes can happen -- that wasn't the issue. What disappointed us was the attitude. Instead of explaining the situation kindly or apologizing for the confusion, the employee was dismissive and rude. Unfortunately, that interaction really affected our experience and made us reconsider returning. I hope management can address the customer service aspect, because the store carries great products and has a lot of potential.

The luxury bags were organized by color but some of the prices were a bit expensive. The red Chanel backpack was a good deal tho. Selection was good for bags, shoes and knits but I'm an outerwear person and didn't find anything. Would def return when I have more $$ to burn.

As a buyer, I love this place--so I figured I'd try selling here. Almost a huge mistake…read more The offers were honestly shocking. An Alo hoodie? $2. A vintage 100% silk Victoria's Secret top? $0.10--yes, ten cents. A rag & bone handbag? Also $0.10. When I asked for clarification, they said maybe the buyer didn't realize the brand... but even then, how does that justify ten cents? The only offer that felt remotely fair was $50 for my Balenciaga hoodie. Everything else? Basically nothing--$1 total for four additional items. They were also "authenticating" my vintage Dior bag, and at that point I just stopped the process. I wasn't about to risk them offering me such a low price for it. It genuinely felt absurd. I understand resale businesses need margin, but this felt extreme. It honestly made me feel bad for people who sell here--like you'd have to be in a really tough spot to accept those kinds of offers. What's more frustrating is that nothing in the store is priced anywhere near that low. As a buyer, I've spent real money here--I even bought a beautiful vintage D&G belt for $250. Now I can't help but wonder what they paid for it. This experience definitely changed how I see the store. I still think they have great pieces, but the selling side feels incredibly one-sided. Offering even 20-30% of resale value would feel a lot more reasonable. Their "coding" for buying, It's a huge scam. As much as i loved shopping here.. you are better off not selling. Don't give your items away unless you're truly okay with the price--don't make a decision out of desperation. (If you have that luxury)

If I could only shop at one clothing store forever, it would be Mod Ref…read more Absolutely obsessed with Mod Ref and their one-of-a-kind pieces. This storefront is small, but packed with all their best sellers. They keep limited sizing on the floor, but you can easily ask a member of their team to grab additional sizes from the back. I truly love that their clothing is organized by color. This helps me be strategic when picking out items, especially since I'm trying to build out a capsule wardrobe. Their items are made well, and I always get the best compliments when wearing them. So take all my money, will you?

I made an appointment online, and Jasen reached out to me in advance to introduce himself. Jasen was extremely patient and took me through the entire process, which was immensely helpful for a guy who has no idea what he's doing in the suit department. Going through fabric books and picking styles was something I never thought I'd do, but it was super enjoyable, and Jasen made it a breeze. These guys have a beautiful facility--and an incredibly well-stocked bar--befitting of a true bespoke suit shop and they have a ton of casual options, shoes, and accessories to browse as well. When you're here, you get true concierge service that is becoming increasingly rare in any industry. When I finally put on the finished product, I was blown away. The tux is comfortable enough that I could go jogging in it, looks incredible, and truly felt like it was made for me. My only complaint is that I can never look at any of my other suits the same way ever again. I will be back.

The only reason I am writing this review is because Katie (blonde sales manager) single handedly…read moresaved my experience with this entire brand, as multiple other employees have ruined it. It's not worth explaining, but I had two horrendous experiences with their customer service. I came in for an exchange, in which an employee could not help with due to what she thought was store policy... I was walking out (fuming) when Katie stopped me, brought me back into the store, and helped me in 5 minutes. I was ready to be an ALO hater for the rest of my life until she went out of her way to make things right. The employees need better training on the products, they gave me false information and then contradicted themselves when I came back. I talked to many of my clients and colleagues about what happened, and they all had similar experiences with this location. For how much the products cost, the store needs more employees like Katie who are willing to go the extra mile to create solutions for you. I feel like they expect the customer to be an entitled rich person right off the bat, when everyone should be treated the same. I completely understand holding your ground and complying with policies, but it would be best if they knew the policies before enforcing them with cement. They may need managers to judge if an exchange is appropriate, and have more product knowledge. As I said to them in the store, I wish all the employees well and hope they don't take a customer's persistence personally. I will be so grateful for Katie's kindness and support for a long time. Otherwise I would be out $600 and this review would be 1 star.

I also felt there was judgment and discrimination toward customers who may not fit a certain body type or appearance standard, which made the shopping experience very uncomfortable and unwelcoming. As a customer, everyone should be treated with respect regardless of their body shape or appearance. Unfortunately, this location did not reflect the inclusive image the brand promotes. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves both professionalism and customer service.

Matt was incredibly accommodating and handled the process with professionalism and clear communication. He went above and beyond, and we're truly grateful for his outstanding customer service. Angelo was also fantastic, very thorough, knowledgeable, and clear in explaining all the options. We really enjoyed our conversation with him and could tell he genuinely cares about making sure everything is perfect. We are still scheduling the appointment for the wedding suit and all of the groomsmen, most of whom live out of state, but the team reassured us that it will not be an issue, which gave us a lot of confidence. We can't wait to go in for his wedding suit. We cannot say enough about the excellent service we received. Men's Grotto will definitely be our go to place for suits moving forward, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, professional service and a personalized experience.
