This is an amazing hidden gem for men's and women's clothing, shoes, and accessories!…read more They carry brands like Barbour, New Balance, and dozens more. They have a great selection: jeans, jackets, sneakers, dress shirts, jewelry, and other small accessories like wallets and candles. We absolutely love it here. The owners are so friendly and warm and knowledgeable without ever being pushy. Highly recommend you check it out for yourself or for gifts! Right near Columbian Square!

If Dick's Sporting Goods and Marshalls had a baby, it'd be Bob's Stores. This place has been around…read morefor at least 20 years, surprisingly. Locations: -remaining Bob's Stores seem to be scattered to the four winds. This one in Randolph (and one in Taunton) are closest to the South Shore-- definitely a drive. Merchandise: -clothing and shoes for men, women and children -tends to be athletic-related brands like Nike, Adidas, Marmot, Columbia, Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS). Small amount of non-athletic brands like Calvin Klein, Levis, Carhartt, etc. -some sporting good items like skateboards, pads/helmets, yoga/pilates gear, soccer balls, kickballs, and even a random kayak. Definitely not the selection/variety of larger box stores, when it comes to sporting goods, but a fair cross-section. Service/Checkout: -despite visiting the weekend after Thanksgiving (when stores are usually mobbed), Bob's was pleasantly busy. There was very little wait time for checkout, and they had 3 registers open. -both cashiers we interacted with were pleasant and helpful, inputting the 30% off coupon listed on their website (but strangely, missing a barcode to scan). Price: -with all the sales going on this past weekend, Bob's was definitely competitive with other big-box stores. Most everything had a 25% off sale on it, some even higher (my jacket was listed as 50% off). Problem is, with all the signs, it's difficult for the consumer to determine what the final price will ACTUALLY be. -coupons available online and in flyers. Be sure to check online, as they do allow you to double up on coupons and sales. Example: my $100 EMS jacket was on sale for 50% off, then there was a coupon for 30% off any one clothing item. Note, the 30% off comes off of the discounted price (i.e., 30% off of $50). So, I was able to get an awesome EMS jacket originally priced at $100 for $34. Winning. If I'm on the hunt for athletic wear that doesn't scream soccer mom, I'd definitely choose Bob's Stores. They have tons of clothing I'd wear from brands I know and trust, and are at the very least competitive with other big-box stores. Worth the trip, in my opinion.

In an age of technology, I am constantly reminded of my age. In a world of snapface and insta text…read moreand face pages, I find myself outside the scope. A wanderer in a new world, holding myself against a tide of modernity. It seems there are few of me left. Few haggard stragglers, refusing to let the tide take ya! And yet here I am, on my iPhone twenty-something or other, tip-tapping away on a make believe screen talking about my times. My times...my father used to come home with hell on his breath, puttin' the fear of god in me. His knuckles smelled like the textile mill. "Be a man!" He would shout, my mother would try to hold him back but anyway... I'm still here, an old man but still here. So take that. Where was I again? I remember the age of Patti Page, the age of fast-talking, ciggy smoking, bitch slapping men. What ever happened to the dean martins of the world anyway? What happened to the world of ford sunliners and plymouths with tailfins and dads playing ball in the front lawn in fitted suits? My dad used to huck the ball at my head when I dropped a ball. Said he was trying to make me into a star ballplayer. Well, my friends, Milton's is the store for men. Not just any kind of men, real men. The men of the past. It even smells like the past in here too. Kind of like my pappy's root cellar, mildew included. That's really not the point though. Here, you can find all your fine suited needs. Wingtip shoes, fedoras, seersucker pleats and belts to boot. It is almost like the past, but it lacks something. Maybe the fear of god or of communism. Sometimes I come here to feel more at home in a world gone mad. Cheers.

The staff is absolutely amazing. I am from 1100 miles away and just had another retailer tell me…read morethat they could not get me the pants I needed for the groomsmen in my wedding. In searching for someone who sold Tommy Hilfiger suits and could help, Milton's came up as one of the results. Taking a chance, I called the Chestnut Hill location and talked to Joe, who was filling in at the location. Let me tell you, for someone who is in full panic mode to talk to someone as knowledgeable, calm and willing to help was a God send. Joe took the time to listen to what I needed. He helped me with finding something that would work for the groomsmen and went above and beyond to make getting them shipped to me easy. I also spoke with Tim, who was friendly, knowledgeable and a tremendous help. Today, retailers of any size seem to be so focused on the amount of the sale to increase profit, they forget about what the customer actual needs. Milton's is not like that in my experience. They helped a guy from over 1100 miles away that is only going to spend $300 dollars like he was the most important customer. Thank you Joe and Tim, I appreciate more than you.

They ask questions and get to know a little bit about you and what your looking for, what your need is and what kind of things you like. Custom made men's shirts and suits, name brand denim for men and women (which includes complimentary alterations). They carry things here you won't find anywhere else around the area and they suggest you try something you might not normally try, usually to find out it's an item you HAVE to have. Nayri's consulting is second to none and I love every piece I have ever bought from them. The personal touch you receive at Bo Line truly making shopping a great experience.

Terrible customer service by management to be exact…read more Whilst purchasing some fragrances, which were all in cases, so there was no way to sample any of them my simple ask was what was the return policy? She told me there was no return policy. I felt that was impossible. I then ask her for the number so I can call corporate myself. She told me she didn't have a number. There was no corporate number? How could you work for a company and not have a corporate number? Management then stated that if I wanted to smell the items I were purchasing I should go to the nearby Macy's and figure it out. I had to remind her that almost 90% of the fragrances they had in stock where either no name brands or discontinued products. So that was not a solution. It's not like I was spending two dollars. The items I purchased total amount of $70-$80. Here I am now stuck with fragrances that I do not like, but because there's no return policy, I am out of the funds with something that I may not use. Never again would I put foot in the store? Terrible customer service coming from management

Clothes aren't nice enough to give snooty boutique treatment…read more I brought my 14 year old daughter into this empty establishment full of cubicle clothes, in hopes of being fitted for her 8th grade semi-formal. She prefers to dress like a male, and clearly this bothered the staff there, as they chose to appear too busy folding clothes to make the store any money. The older woman with the accent asked if she could help us, and I said "we're looking for slacks, a shirt and vest for my daughter for her prom". She asked what size slacks, I responded 28", and she informed me that they start at size 30". I followed up with, "what about a shirt and vest?", she replied "for who?, I said "for me", she said, "what size are you?", and I repeated to her that we were there to shop my daughter, who was standing next to me feeling awkward enough as is. The sad thing is, we were at the Boston Pride parade the day before, and my daughter felt so good about herself, then the following day, this clothes folder takes it upon herself to make the conversation as difficult as possible to not assist my child. After we looked through the call-center-special clothes for another minute or so, we realize that we were definitely in the wrong place for what we were in search of. A man with a measuring tape comes out from the back, speaks to the woman that couldn't assist us, then asks what he can help us with. I told HIM, "I'm looking to have my daughter dressed for the prom" he responds with a laugh, "they still have those?".. good one, Don Wrinkles.. I went to the store because for some reason I thought "Jos A" was Joseph Abboud, who is a classy man that goes to the same gym as me. I asked the comedian with the frumpy clothes if Joseph Abboud owned the store and he said they didn't, so we left, as we were clearly in the wrong place. We went to Macy's across the street, found my daughter a nice black Calvin Klein suit and she is ready for her semi! I will never return to Jos A Bank again, and am tempted to go beyond this post in spreading the word of how they judged/treated my child.
