The epitome of local…read more The business has been in the family since the first opened in Albia, Iowa in 1868. But this downtown location has lived here since 1915- four generations later. Anytime I have needed men's formal wear or someone I know has stopped in the shop-- it has been enjoyable. More than likely you'll be greeted by the co-owners themselves-- brothers, Bob and Bill. They have four floors of men's clothings and shoes, including Big and Tall sizes. When I got married I wanted something stylish and sleek that wouldn't put my newly graduated college friends MORE in debt. Ewers worked with me on colors, style and pricing. I've had extremely tall friends and family go to Ewers -- leaving with a smile and just what they came in looking for. Dress pants and shirts, suit coats, ties, shoes and other accessories. If you need them, they've got them! Shop local at Ewers.

Honestly, with so many coupons available -- I make a point to not buy things unless they're 75% off or more. Which may seem crazy-coupon-lady-esque, but it's very doable. You may wonder how I shop so cheap, well Kohl's clearance is my bread and butter. Savings start at 60% and go up from there. But best yet, you can use additional coupons (like 30%) for more money saved! $20 earrings, were $2 on clearance-- bought for a whopping $1.40. I avoid buying shoes or electronics at Kohls. Coupons are typically harder to use on brands like Nike or Adidas. With that being said, my kids rock Converses with the best of them... they have amazing deals on this brand even if they're not eligible for other promotions. 5 Reasons Kohls is Rad 1. Get cash back up to 12 months after purchase and in-store credit beyond that. 2. I always lose receipts. If you use a credit card to make your purchase, your shopping history is stored in the computer for a full year. Full-purchase price back, no matter the card. 3. The Kohl's credit card is instant savings. Exclusive coupon codes are sent often to cardholders-- again-- these can be used with other coupons. 12 times a year this coupons are sent. 4. You can use up to four promo codes at a time. FOUR. One sitewide+two department specific+Kohl's Cash. Or, one sitewide+three Kohl's Cash. You can't use more than four codes total. 5. Forgot to use a coupon on your last Kohls.com purchase? Just email customer service with your order number and promo code. You can be credited in the form of the original payment. I've always had good customer service online. Not as ideal interactions have been had in the store. Parking is a non-issue. This particular location is easy to navigate but often disorganized. It typically has some cool Iowa Hawkeye stuff and literally all the essentials my growing family needs.

Kohls hired a company called the retail equation. This company has convinced Kohls to deny returns…read morethat FOLLOW THEIR POLICY. I personally have never returned anything without a receipt and on time. Suddenly they said I couldn't return a DEFECTIVE purse, ordered online, with receipt. I DID NOT get a verbal warning. In the past couple of years I shopped for my elderly grandmother, my two kids, myself, my husband so maybe use some critical thinking skills when you look at a list of returns......maybe they are for multiple people in a family. I admit, I did things like purchase 10 pairs of shoes so my 95 year old grandma could find a pair that were comfortable. I did the same for clothes. I told the cashiers exactly what I was doing. I also admit I returned 9 pairs of shoes and multiple items of clothing and explained to the cashier why. My grandma can't go to the store like so many others that are home bound, so congratulations you have made it harder for the elderly to get things they need from your company!! Shameful! I also did the same for my mom who had Alzheimers. Some of my returns were because I received dirty and /or defective stuff from orders online. Lack of packaging is why for most. Delicate items like bras came snagged and dirty thrown in a box. I received sizes I did not order. Do you expect me to keep wrong sizes? I did order some things on accident because the items were in my cart. My bad! I pointed all of this out when I returned the items. How exactly are we to shop online without having returns when the store doesn't have it to try on or to look at colors and styles? I am now stuck with a DEFECTIVE purse. How is this even a business tactic? Who would think it is a good idea to not allow valid returns abiding by the company policy? Customers won't go back concerned it will happen because no guidelines are provided. Kohls refuses to tell customers how many VALID returns are allowed which is extremely unethical. I did the dispute process which is a joke. Kohls confirmed I had too many returns. How many is too many.....no one will ever know. Are you forcing customers to keep merchandise to increase revenue? That is sure what it seems like because I am not a criminal or committing fraud.

Boom. I popped on to peruse shirts, pants, hats, cashmere, necklaces and more. Ultimately, I found gifts for the man in my life. Who knew? While Catherine's is primarily a women's boutique-- they do have some quality items for men. I ordered. And had it delivered for free on my door step mere days later. Catherine has got it going on.

MAN does it pain me to write this review. I've had a love affair with Von Maur for over a decade…read more And boy, oh boy do I miss my random shopping getaways pre-pandemic. It has been my go-to for formal wear, Iowa Hawkeye gear, shoes, accessories, swimwear and more over the years. But this summer they changed their return policy. I think a lot of it is pretty standard... - Return within 90 days with a receipt: Receive purchase price back to original form of payment - Return after 90 days with receipt or anytime with a gift receipt: Receive purchase price as merchandise credit only. - Return without a receipt: Receive current selling price as merchandise credit only. My issue with this change is with their new FINAL SALE policy. - They cut the tags off your brand new items to ensure you can't return them. Therefore my newly purchased, never worn item that I just so happened to score a great deal on... looks not new. Possible pre-owned. What if I planned to gift someone that item? Don't they deserve to know it hasn't been worn and is right off the rack? (Or in my case, I got a supposedly unworn bikini without any tags... which was unexpected. And kind of weirded me out.) If you need to scribble on the tag, over the barcode-- go for it. But I go to Von Maur for the experience and the unique items sold there. It is tacky and off brand to send new items sans tag. (And when I contacted customer service to express my opinion about said two piece. I was basically shrugged off.) I buy plenty of thrift items for myself and even they include a tag... just sayin. This would be a two star, just because of how I feel about the new changes. But I still stand by Von Maur as a quality store. This change may stop me from getting certain items here now. (#shopsmall, #shoplocal) But it shouldn't deter you from getting full-priced items here!

The big day is in 3 days and I just arrived back in Iowa, and wanted to go into the store to try in my tuxedo to make sure everything fits properly. I called them to ask if I could come in and try everything on and from the very beginning everyone was extremely pleasant. Once I arrived, everyone was just as friendly as they were on the phone and extremely, extremely helpful! I tried on the tuxedo and everything fit absolutely perfectly, which means when I called in my measurements they took them down perfectly! All in all I wish I could give these guys more than five stars as they were absolutely incredible, I would highly highly recommend them over any other locations around Cedar Rapids.

We're alright. You don't have to spend a lot to look good, but a little extra never hurt. Shirts, suits, and ties at The Gentry Shop may cost a little more, but you get what you pay for. This is a haberdashery, not the denim and gun aisle at Walmart. Gentlemen of height greater than average will appreciate the fine tailoring done here, particularly with respect to neckties. For those 6'2" and above--not an insignificant percentage of modern American males--standard length ties will simply not do the job. Starting a unicorn ranch is easier than finding handsome, quality extra long ties. But there's hope. The Gentry Shop (although they do have a few good long ties) will expertly lengthen a regular tie and ship it to you. You may be wearing a once lilliputian cravat, but your friends and colleagues will be none the wiser, and compliments will commence.
