I have never been to a John Varvatos before. They have a very nice, high-end collection of clothing and accessories for men, including sunglasses and fragrances. The employees are really nice and friendly. Aaron in particular is super cool! He helped my buddy get what he was looking for, and even steamed the wrinkles out of one of the shirts he bought. As I waited, he offered shots!! I thought they were literally just for decoration, but nope!! Ask and you shall receive!! That was most certainly first class service, and I was impressed to say the least. The store is very well kept, and the lounge chairs are nice and comfy. They even have an arcade game in the back corner (I'm not sure it works, but it looked like it did). Thank you Aaron and staff, for going above and beyond. Service is impeccable here. Prices are well above average, but I highly recommend it if you're wanting to spoil yourself or gift someone who enJOYs the finer things in life! read more

What a great business. Visited this store once and saw a jacket I liked. Staff was super helpful at the time. Decided I would rather buy this when they have a clearance sale during summer which was only a couple of months So the clearance sale comes and goes and I miss it! I call the store asking if they could help. The store manager Colin, not only locates the exact size and jacket I was looking for, but also gives me a great discount over the phone (the sale) - and arranges to have the jacket shipped to my home from the outlet store where it was available. It arrived promptly within a few days. Just perfect. I love their fit, quality and style and they go out of their way to help customers. It can be pricey at times, but with some planning you can make it work to your advantage. read more

I had trouble ordering online so I clicked on chat and got Ryan based in my favorite Southern California mall. He secured the item I wanted and I received it in less than 24 hours from the time I placed the order. He even texted the tracking number and followed up just before the delivery. Ryan is the man! Thanks read more

I can't say enough about the store. Not only is it my favorite line of clothing, the service at store is also super professional and very inviting. It's personal one on one service. Everyone at the store is super cool. Especially, I'd like to thank James, the manager, that takes your shopping experience to a whole different level. I would have to say that my closet is 90 percent Varvatos. Check out their colognes as well. read more

Quality went down alot especially the John Varvatos USA which is all made in China. Buttons falls apart within 1 use for something I paid 400 dollars for it should last alot longer than 2 hours. read more

John Varvatos - Suit jacket - Men's Clothing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Looking for Suits can be a daunting experience for many guys. Going to department stores. You have to deal with sales people that are one level above a used car salesman. After going to Macy's, Nordstorms, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bloomingdales. I finally stumbled to John Varvatos. Being that my budget was $800. I knew that finding me a suit in that price range was going to be a long shot! Going through the rack of suits. I found a gray suit I had in mind. The color was perfect. The material was perfect. The cut was perfect. The price was SO NOT perfect. $1600. Yea. That's right. One-Freaking Thousand, Six-Ridiculous Hundred Dollars. Right when I was putting down the suit a chirpy sales person asked if I wanted to try it on. In my head I was playing it cool..so I tried. it. Damn. That's how a $1600 suit feels. Now at this point. I would tell the sales person that I wasn't interested. But he muttered the words...Private Sale. My eyes widened opened and I nonchalantly asked how much...40% OFF!! My sales person Steve made buying a suit a pleasure more than pain. He was a very knowledgeable and friendliest sales person! Long story short. I walked out $1000 less richer. But putting on that suit made me feel like a billion-mazillion bucks! *********** Rye's Notes: - WATCH OUT for the Private Sales! - Steve Sheers is THE MAN! read more

Always worth visiting if you like edgy rock and roll influenced fashion. I have always found that the staff here are friendly and helpful without being overbearing. While they primarily carry the regular line here, the silver label, there are some items from the slightly cheaper Star line as well. Very happy overall with what I have purchased. read more

All I have to say is if you want alternative luxury, this is the place . Its a store that expresses cutting edge dark rock indie style luxury clothes, something Johnny Depp would be attracted to. The professional assistance is top notch , that's you Jose. Ask for Jose to pin point your needs and style , he is a stylist professional and more. He has a good heart and a good eye for rock fashion and Beverly Hills expression. Their price point is high and low but only for the people that are serious that want to look good at their next high profile event . Just ask for Jose ! Everyone in that store has style ! read more

just wanted to mention a recent experience i had with this store and in particular, Mr. Omar Taha. i purchased a belt over 2 yrs ago. although awesome in every way, the threading began to fall apart prematurely. i just wore the belt as is bc honestly, i didn't think the store would do anything for me since i'd had the belt for so long. but i decided to bring it in, anyway. well, Omar immediately helped me out, told me they would send the belt out to have it repaired, then mailed to my doorstep. how sweet is that?! i uploaded a photo of the belt and the accompanying note from Omar. thank you, again!! aside from the belt, jewelry, and sunglasses, i own two pairs of gorgeous boots from the designer and they are THE best fitting/looking/tailored shoes i have ever owned. can't wait to add to the collection! read more

John Varvatos - awesome customer service. =D - Men's Clothing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Great rockstar clothing! Worst customer service reps wearing rockstar clothing feeling like rockstars busy on their phones bending over the tables texting and being snobby with no inherent value JV sucks at south coast plaza! read more

The only store at South Coast where I experienced dodgy service. Only one person was working (or visibly so,) and that one person was talking to one client the ten minutes I was in the store. I had a country-themed wedding to go to (yeah, I know) and was on a tight schedule, but multiple people were waiting for this one guy to finish his conversation. Many of those people, including myself, walked out before said conversation was through. Definitely unlike the service i've received in San Francisco. To Fashion Island I went, where the boys at a Rodd & Gunn know how to take care of people. read more

This not first time John varvatos they put back some old item already mark down 60 to 70 percent off they jack up the price and sale like new item if u look some item that last season they put back and jack up the price I took a lot picture to prove they dishonest read more

This brand has huge sales very often, msrp is very high, and I recommend only buying when there is a greater than 40% discount. If you want something here, I've noticed that it's no more than a month or two wait until that specific item goes on sale + you can get it for much cheaper than normal. With that said, every time I go in, everyone seems friendly and very helpful. The only bad experience I've had here was when I tried to tailor a suit that I bought here. It's very expensive... like 3-4 times more expensive than a much more professional tailor. The quality of the tailoring is extremely bad too... so bad that I had to take it elsewhere and get it tailored again. The clothing here is awesome, but please make sure to tailor stuff you buy here elsewhere. read more

I called into the John Varvatos store @ South Coast Plaza in the morning to confirm that my online reservation was ready for pick up. A gentleman named Jose picked up and he kindly took the time to look up my reservation and let me know it was ready. I let Jose I'd be later in the afternoon to pick it up. I got a call from an unknown number around 3:30 and it was Jose. He was calling from his cellphone in the parking garage to let me know that the power had gone out in half the mall, including the John Varvatos store and that they'd be closed until the power would be back up. He even offered to text me right when the store was back up and running. I unfortunately never got a chance to meet Jose, I was in town for only the day and changed my order reservation to another store but thanks so much for going that extra step. I would've ended up driving into the mall and ended up in the cluster of people trying to leave. Jose is the prime example of a 5-Star employee. read more

My go-to store. Great pricing for the quality of craftsmanship. There are two different categories or fashion-lines here (A) JV USA (for budget-minded shoppers) and (B) The Collection (high-end runway fashion). The management and sales force are great guys. Knowledgeable about fashion, soft-sellers that make you feel at home. You won't find a better place to to shop. This is a store for "cool guys". read more

Thank you James Bryant! I always shop here at John V. and James has been so wonderful to deal with. When it comes to shopping I'm very, very particular with the quality of clothing so he makes sure my stuff are fresh ones from stock. He's been nothing but amazing as my shopping consultant. He always makes sure my gifts get wrapped nicely and sends me personable emails for their sales promotion. You're the best! read more

I bought a Chelsea boots 10 days ago from this store and I tried just for 2 times in few minutes i got is not comfortable for me and it hurt my feet and I came today to return it but they said they can't because u use the boot ,so how I can understand this boot is comfortable or no if I don't try it and the sales person (he was a manager)he push me I have to buy another one or keep this boot that hurt my feet.just they want a money and nothing else is important for them and they use any way to sales their stuff,i put my boot in the store and they didn't return my money if I could I didn't put any star,it was a terrible customer services i have ever seen read more

Still impressed with their level of customer service! Everyone had a really nice laid back yet professional attitude at this store. I made no indication that I was interested in buying anything but received service like I am one of their top VIP's. Walked in to browse walked out with a brand new suit. Thank you. You earned a customer for life. Cheers. read more

I don't spend a lot of money on clothes. But when I do, I want things that will last. John Varvatos is one of my favorite stores for two reasons: 1. You can always find something that you're after. 2. These guys make sure you are taken care of.. Go visit the store. (Omar is my go to Sales guy). read more

Had a wonderful experience here at the Costa Mesa location. I came in to buy clothes for it event and Martin did an excellent job fitting me up with a complete wardrobe. I have come in a few times and both Martin and Chelsea have always been professional and extremely helpful!! The clothes here are of quality and don't fall apart like other stores do after awhile. You will not be disappointed shopping at this location!! read more

The employees are not very helpful, they can see you looking around and never offer their help. Most of them are very dry they don't even smile or say high, specially the guy that used to have a beard..I just kept looking at him for him to come and ask if I need help but he kept giving me his weird look as usual. If you don't like your job, just look for something else to do. read more

Not even a hello or welcome after looking at my family and I walk in at 8:28 pm on Friday the 12th of 2018. Stared us down as we walked out. Felt Very very unwelcome here. We saw a leather jacket at Bloomingdales and came to the shop to check out what else was available. The employees were just standing around and not even a word to us. We left after 10 minutes of no help and went back to Bloomingdales to buy from them instead. read more

"OMAR TAHA" is the best!!!! He help me out on my visit, Needed one of my bracelet repair. He had my bracelet out repair and deliver to my house. Omar you're the best and thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

John Varvatos is an American designer, that knows that American men are tall, muscular and like wearing clothes that remind them of Robert DeNiro in the Godfather Part II not Robert DeNiro in Goodfellas. That's why I like his clothes. read more

Varvatos and Boss... directly across from one another. It's like a men's clothing wet dream. I can be at Boss and gaze, longingly , at Varvatos... or vice versa. If clothes were a gender, I'd be all over this store, humping away. Love Varvatos. Great style. Simple. Classic. Extremely comfortable. Big, spacious store. Friendly staff that will make sure you're taken care of, but won't smother you to death like Nordstrom. read more

This store is always vacant and for obvious reasons. The employees are jerks and rude. They are pretentious and have clearly forgotten that they work retail. I recommend buying John Varvatos at Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, or online. I would avoid this store at all costs. read more

Terrible customer service. No on was in the store. One of the employees saId he did not sell the shoes before and was unwilling to check to see what sizes were available. The employees seem to not care who comes in the store. They were on their pines and did not greet any of the customers. read more

Omar always takes care of any one who he is helping at Varvatos.. He has an eye on what looks best in you and not just sell you any thing like one else in sales. read more

I read ALL the reviews before posting this, agree with all re: quality of clothes/shoes, but DISAGREE with the poor ratings on the staff and their attitudes. I met Steven when I stopped in after a long day of XMAS shopping for others. I was looking for dress shoes. I clearly indicated I was on a budget. He pointed me directly to the shoes that were not only on sale, but what I would have wanted even if they were not. Given that I had just spent a ton of $$ on gifts, I was hesitant. He said 'no problem' he would hold them for a few days. Of course I called the next day and said I would take them, but his low pressure attitude and that fact he really knows his style, made me a fan.... But where Steven earns his five stars, is that when I picked up my shoes, I admired a pair of casual boots, also on sale, but my size was gone. Steven VOLUNTEERED to call the LA store, found my size and had them shipped for free. These two purchases were under $500, which is low I am sure for JV, yet Steven treated me as if I had spent $1,000's...which I will do when the budget allows. read more

I walked into the store at opening time on Monday morning. The only two people in the store did not even look up from their conversation to say "Hello." I assume at least one was a salesperson, but who knows? I was looking for a particular item I saw on-line. So I poked around, peered into displays and didn't see it. No one asked whether I was looking for something in particular or whether I needed assistance. Guess, what I don't care either! I'll gladly spend my money elsewhere. read more

John Varvatos is my favorite brand but the salespeople at this store are just a bunch of condescending jerks who should be fired. Every time I walked in in shorts and sandals, they ignored me like if I was a bum who couldn't afford anything - I'm not sure how they are expecting people to dress up when it's 95 degrees but their way of judging customers is pathetic, most especially since they didn't even realize I was wearing JV. Another time, I asked about a pair of shoes, which was in stock on the website and was told that these shoes had been discontinued for a couple years - of course I just went back home and ordered them online. This store is an insult to that brand and I would recommend just ordering online, visiting the LA store or going to department stores carrying JV. read more

I found out about John Varvatos when they came out with the Jack Purcells and Chucks that were slip ons...they were in the hundred dollar range but infinitely more comfortable than the regular chucks or jacks. When I started looking for suits, several people told me that I should go for either Hugo Boss or John Varvatos because they would fit me the best...I just never looked too much at JV because their suits were ridiculously expensive. ($1800)... but i came there the other week and they were having a huge sale (since their fall stuff is coming soon) and the suits were 70% off... pretty sweet. The salesman was extremely helpful and gave good advice on fit and other things. Even gave us some bottles of Fiji water. They don't have an in house tailor but they called one over - after fifteen minutes she came, took my measurements and I got my perfectly fitting suit in four days. Very pleased by the experience and especially the quality. read more

I wanted a new jacket of course they didn't have the one I saw online. Sales people were unhelpful. Do I really have to dress up to buy clothes why the cold treatment? I rather spend money where they appreciate customers. read more
