Let's be honest; I think Birmingham only got a Saks because of the behind the scenes…read moreParisian/Proffit's/McCrae's headquarters, etc. and where some of its executives preferred to live. It was a smaller, but very nice store with a lot of offerings that couldn't be found elsewhere. I loved to shop here when my kids were young, and I knew I could always find an upscale outfit for myself when I needed. However, the selection seems to have started going downhill after the Hudson Bay acquisition in 2013. Every time I went in, there seemed to be fewer and fewer products and more open space. I think they tried to pass it off as more open space made it feel more boutique and more refined. I say it just made the store quicker to shop. The one exception was probably the Louis Vuitton shop. I don't know if it was actually independently operating within Saks or still a part of it, but it did always seem better staffed with a much better inventory than the rest of the store. My last visit was before the 2025 holidays. I went expecting to see much more inventory for the season. Instead, it was very sparse, and it didn't look like there was any more in there than at the end of a season with a few sale racks and not a lot of new merchandise. Sadly, it was announced (2/10/26) that this location will be closing along with several more under some bankruptcy/reorganization of the parent company.

I mostly purchase business casual items for work or dressy clothing items. Mostly I shop here whenever they have a huge sale on their clothes or the clearance section for off season sale items.

If I haven't learned anything while working on commissions is to never prejudge a potential customer. A few years ago I walked in a BB store to buy my other son a few suits to interview in because first impressions matter. I walked around and was finally greeted by a smirking jerk. His direct words were, "That's too nice a suit to wear to court. ". I looked at him and asked him to beg my pardon, Will you repeat that? This jerk asked me if I thought their prices were the same as JCP? I was speechless. I was not feeling well and tears rolled down my face. Not because of his I insults but it was just the acknowledgment of how hard it is to be treated right by people like him. I just didn't have it in me to even ask for the manger. I wasted time telling him my son would be going to court but not as a defendant. He would be the arresting officer. That I had been out looking for a lost foster dog the reason I looked so casual but I assured him I could pay whatever their prices were. I wanted to put my previous encounter behind me and see if that jerk was still there. Unfortunately, Jos A. Banks is where a dear friend of mine buys his clothes and I heard his reminder in my head as I stood at the door with my hand reaching out to the door. Nope, I won't darken the doorway because I'm sure they knew what an ahole that guy was from previous complaints. I turned on my heels and seemed to buy a That graduation suit elsewhere.

Brought them back to see if there was any way I adjust the belt loop & I was told to get a smaller belt. No other offer to help in any way was extended. Reason I got the boys size is because I don't fit into the men's size for #BrooksBrothers so the sales consultant was kind enough to find slacks from the boys department for me. I thought they would help somehow with a goodwill gesture if I bought additional slacks to replace these but I think I have too high expectations for this place. Good news though - some homeless chap in Birmingham, AL will be strutting some decent slacks around town.

I don't think the prices at this location are really "outlet" prices or any more on sale than a normal store or online even though it is located at the outlet mall (but maybe they just didn't have any extra specials going on the day I went).
