The styles are not cutting edge by any means but if you're truly into fashionable attire you're not shopping at Jos A. Bank anyhow. My main issue on the clothing side is lack of options and the fact that tailoring always take 2-3 weeks which seems quite excessive for a retail store focusing on menswear and wanting you to spend hundreds of dollars with them - it's not exactly like most guys plan ahead. That being said, get your deals now because it's only a matter of time until Jos. A. Bank merges with Men's Wearhouse and then nobody's going to find the deals you have today from either one of these national players in the menswear market. Jos. A. Bank also offer tuxedo rentals which I used for my wedding a couple years ago and this is the reason I'm bumping them down from 4 to 3 stars. My tux was sized wrong and that's the last thing you want to be dealing with in the days before your wedding so it was quite a pain in the neck and I still ended up with a vest that was too big even though the coat was swapped out in a day. If you're buying clothes Hampton or any of the other folks will take care of youhas taken good care of me, but for tux rentals I'm pretty sure there are better options that would be a better choice - it really seems to be a secondary thing for Jos. A. Bank and I don't think I would trust them next time for a tux that fits and looks decent.

It's more than just a vintage store. Every aspect of the shop feels intentional. It's an…read moreenvironment where people are invited to slow down and reconnect with themselves through clothing, style, and presence. But that's only what's experienced on the surface. If you could strip yourself down to your bare bones--who is looking back in the mirror, and how would you re-layer yourself to show up in the world? What version of you is on the other side, waiting to be expressed? Bdffrnt felt like a transformational space to me in a way that is rare. I experienced it as a place where you're encouraged to explore--not just the pieces, but how you feel in them and what they bring out in you. There's no pressure or force, just genuine warmth, guidance, and a sense of openness if you come in willing to engage with yourself. Astrid, the owner, brought a grounded and attentive presence. She was available in a way that felt supportive without being intrusive, which added to the overall feeling of ease in the space. She asks real questions to get to know you. She offers pieces you otherwise may look past. It's as if she sees the version of you often held back from the world, and encourages you toward what feels more fully expressed. Yes, through clothing, but also in life in general. It's less about shopping quickly and more about having a moment to reflect, try things on, and notice what resonates. A version of play that leads to self-discovery. What do you see in yourself through the process? What do you learn? What do you like, and what would you want to shift? A real experience unlike any other. Whether you leave with a new piece or simply a new perspective, the experience stays with you long after you walk out the door.

He introduced me to Samuelsohn Suits, of which I buy a few a year. In addition to the suits, I also order my shirts here. Paul nailed the measurements the first time I was in the store and each of the suits I have received has been spot-on. Paul sends me swatches a few times a year and I order based on those. I've tried having suits made at other shops around the country, but Paul's attention to detail and gracious service is unmatched. I was able to make it New Orleans this week, so I stopped in and did some shopping. Super highly recommended.

So many great gifts that represent New Orleans…read more I wasn't really in the market for anything, just browsing, but then I found a lovely Magnolia patterned dog collar - perfect for my beagador named MAGNOLIA! Then I found out from the shop attendant that the state flower of Louisiana is the Magnolia! What??? My boyfriend's mom was born & raised in NOLA and loved our dog. She has been gone for a year and half, so finding this out strangely makes me feel connected to her and that she is still around. :*) Anyway, the sweet shop guy asked me to tell him the story of how my dog and I found each other. I recounted the tale of how I found her at PAWS Chicago, where she came from originally (Oklahoma), that she had a brother named "Steel", how she saved me from a life of stress, and then our connection to NOLA. I always appreciate when someone can create a warm and fuzzy moment. So thank you, Shop Guy! The collar is high quality all around - material and construction. I have purchased MANY custom collars for my baby girl and this has been the best so far. It's worth the money because I know it will last for a long time. I will be checking out their website for Christmas gift ideas since we won't be back until next year!

If you are a…read moreproud native of the Gulf Coast, or just an enthusiastic visitor/transplant (or gift giver to someone who is), you will find something to love at NOLA Couture. Think of all the symbols of New Orleans and bayou culture and cuisine. Now imagine those artfully integrated into a subtle, tasteful geometric pattern that appears on high quality accessories for ladies, men, kids, and furry friends who want to keep a little NOLA with them always. NOLA Couture has developed custom fabrics and ribbons that show off your Gulf Coast pride in a classic preppy style that you can wear to office or church without coming off too wacky. Think ties, belts, key fobs, bags, scarves, pet collars & leashes, insulated tumblers, glassware, candles, and so on. The ties and scarves are 100% silk & wool. Patterns include: --red beans & rice --snoballs --poboys & hot sauce --gumbo --seafood --shrimp cocktail --beignets & cafe au lait --gators --redfish --Mardi Gras kings --Saints --Louisiana --sea turtles --pirates --2nd line --boats --mosquitos --fleur de lis --fleur de sea (with a fish, shrimp, oyster, and crawfish) --street cars --hurricanes --daiquiris --seahorses --oysters & pearls --pelicans --mallards --seersucker I could not resist coming home with a red beans & rice belt for myself, plus a few ties for the Cajun/Creole men in the family. I'll probably be heading back to the online store for more gifts for upcoming birthdays. Fans of LSU, Bama, Tulane, SMU (oddly), Florida and other southern colleges can find some neat things here, too. NOLA Couture even can do custom designs for you (your school, business logo, etc.), and shipping is free for orders over $65. Prices are not cheap (ranging from $10 for a laser etched glass to $95 for a loomed scarf), but the quality of the all the goods appears solid. If you are looking for $10 T-shirts about drinking on Bourbon, this isn't your shop, but then you knew that!

The hesitant decisions to buy a souvenir, not knowing if it's too touristy, kitschy, expensive, or all of the above. Does Instagram see any of that? No. But Yelp can guide you in the right decision of a delightfully authentic and quirky souvenir that captures the ethos of the city. I stumbled into Dirty Coast's French Quarter location, seeking respite from the smothering humidity and fully thinking that it would be a cookie-cutter souvenir shop hawking generic goods, like one of the others I had cooled down in earlier. I've never been happier to admit that I was wrong. If you know, you know -- and that was clearly the north star for all the items I found in here. Insider cultural references were everywhere in a way that felt inviting: Patches that said "swamp ass." Candles that smelled like a blend of coffee and beignets. Pouches that looked like a New Orleans parking violation sleeve, one of which I eagerly purchased.
