I new I needed some new clothes, but I was nervous because I'm a bit overweight and was frankly out of touch with respect to men's fashion. I thought that cool men's clothing was only for (very) thin people and that stockier guys had no business walking through the doors of these places. Yet, like everyone, I still needed clothes and wanted to look hip and in style. I knew about Supreme, and after a rave review from the son of an employee, I decided to call - more to see if I should even bother (ie., if they'd have anything that would work for me). A friendly girl named Allison greeted me and encouraged me to come in. Allison helped me to put together some pant/shirt/tie outfits that were very cool, that fit and that were less expensive than I thought. She was totally non-judgemental (which I appreciated) and told me that it was not my job to fit the clothes, but rather the clothes' job to fit me. That was a foreign concept to me as ALL of my clothes were either tight or baggy - sometimes both. The pants in particular, look awesome on me and are super comfortable. Pants heaven. She texted me when my clothes that needed ordering or alterations were in and I could not have been more impressed. She was (is) truly awesome.
I also needed some suits that fit well and wanted to take advantage of their made-to-measure sale. Allison set me up with Rob, referring to him as 'The Master'. Indeed he was. Like Alison, Rob asked me questions and then patiently listened and responded to my goals and concerns. And then he went to work. He pulled several fabrics and responded to my queues of what I liked and didn't while gently pushing me fashion-forward. He took his time to measure me up. In the end, I ended up with several outfuts that are going to be versatile and that I know are going to look amazing.
What also struck me was Supreme staff's unwavering attention to the little things - from giving me their personal phone numbers for texting, to accommodating my schedule to stay after hours, to throwing in fantastic extras, to letting me in the garage, to offering me drinks, to giving me some further discounts, to offering to answer any questions about what can be put with what, etc., etc., etc.). By the end, I knew that they were genuinely good people that truly wanted to help me look at feel my best. They felt like friends. I've definately found my guys and know they are going to make me hip and stylin' for years to come. I found out from my mom afterwards that my late father was also a life-long client of Supreme. Who knew.
If you would like me to expound further on my experience with Supreme Men's Wear I would be happy to. Definately worth the investment! (403) 998-4548.
