When you walk in the door, you are welcomed by a team that provides customized service. John personally introduced himself and pointed me in the right direction. My venture in finding a new wallet was achieved in store, but I also left with a new sport jacket and pocket square for a fun evening out on the town. John's knowledge in tailoring expertise ensured me that I was getting the best fit possible. The look was not complete without a pocket square. That was the cherry on top of the sundae. I walked out of the store feeling confident, stylish, yet true to my aesthetics. I recommend The Ascot Shop La Jolla as the premier destination for men's fashion with service to match high-quality goods. I will certainly return during my next trip to Ja Jolla in search for the new pieces to upgrade my wardrobe. read more

I had seen a new Reyn Spooner style online that I wanted to get in person. So I searched which local stores sold Reyn Spooner and I called the 4 stores. None of them had the new shirt. But, the kind employee at The Ascot Shop offered to check with the brand rep and would get back to me if they could order it. That same day he got back to me to confirm the size and he would be able to order it and it would be available in a week. The next week I got a text the shirt arrived. I went to pick it up and it's a very nice men's store. I told the employee how thankful I could get this because I wanted this style for my husband's birthday. Then he offered to put it in a box with a bow. I would definitely recommend this clothing shop for great brands and excellent customer service. read more

Shout out to John Hennessey at Ascot Shop. In from Baltimore for a black tie wedding and clueless on how to tie my bow tie. I called Ascot Shop the day before the affair and John put me at ease by telling me to come to the shop prior to the wedding and assuring me somebody will tie my tie. Accordingly, I walked in to Ascot Shop in shorts, flip flops and tux shirt and John says "you're the guy that needs some help". Minutes later, I walked out and took multiple compliments the rest of the night about how I tied such a great looking tie. Thanks John, I owe you. Joe Nolan read more

Man! What incredible service!! Walked into the store not knowing what to expect and was blown away at the massive selection of high quality products and their value. Definitely a little pricey but for the quality you can't beat it. Go check them out!!!! read more

Had an amazing experience at The Ascot Shop! I came in looking for a tuxedo for my wedding and John went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I needed. He was knowledgeable, patient, and really took the time to understand the look I was going for. None of the big-name brands I tried at other stores fit me quite right, but John was able to find one that fit perfectly and looked incredible. The fit and quality were outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Honestly, the level of service here completely blew away my experiences at big department stores like Nordstrom. Highly recommend both the shop and working with John if you want top-notch service for a big event! read more

They are the best. They know their trade. Clothes are of the highest quality. Unfortunately I live most of the year in Phoenix but would use the store more often if I lived there year round. read more

Went into The Ascot Shop today because I needed to figure out my sizing for my friends wedding. I walked in and Alan came right up to me to ask what he could help me with today. I informed him that I just needed help with my sizing and that I wouldn't be buying a suit today. He had me try on each piece of clothing to make sure that he was figuring out the precise sizing. At the end I offered him a tip for helping me figure out the right sizing, but he didn't accept it. Very nice shop with a lot of options. Check it out. read more

Came into town not expecting to need jeans or pants and boy was I wrong. Lucky for me I found the Ascot shop while doing some hurricane Hilary prep. Mike assisted me in finding a pair of reasonably price jeans that I'm sure I will enjoy for many tropical storms to come. Top notch service and a wide selection. *Pro tip: Shop the sales* read more

This review is long overdue but better late than never. I have had the privilege to work with Bill White and his outstanding staff at The Ascot Shop in La Jolla for almost two decades (I can't believe it's been that long!). Bill is a haberdasher of the first order. When I meet with Bill, I know that I will be taken care of. As an attorney, I wear suits four days a week and a blazer and khakis or grey slacks on Fridays. Bill helped me build my wardrobe (Hickey Freeman Made-to-Measure) so that I don't have to think about what I'm going to wear day to day. I recommend getting on their mailing list so that when The Ascot Shop hosts a Trunk Show, you can see the latest offerings by a number of select vendors and enjoy a nice discount in the process. read more

Been buying cloths here for many years. Needed a suit last minute ( haven't worn one in a while) bc current ones didn't fit & have an event I needed it for tomorrow. Bought it & got fitted by next day! Bill the owner took great care of me as always. You feel like family when you go there - everyone is super nice & friendly that works there. read more

Best suit buying experience I've ever had! Big shoutout to John for being there every step of the way, as well as Mike. They helped me create my dream wedding suit custom made on a very short time frame and made the entire process easy and stress free. The first session of the custom suit they take measurements, go over materials and all the options, and even give you free drinks! I was going for a not common suit material style and look and they had everything I was looking for to make the vision come true. Suit is great quality, and they will custom tailor it upon arrival to ensure the fit is perfect. 10/10 will be buying my next suit from here as well. read more

This is the best resource for men's clothing in San Diego! Their team of expert stylists made me feel Safe and secure wail helping me with all of my holiday shopping needs!

Seriously so happy to have found this place! I searched for a made to measure suit for my fiance for our wedding day. Neither of us know anything about suits and went into our appointment not knowing what to expect. Andrew was amazing at making the process easy and fun! Suit came back better than I imagined. The fit and the quality of the suit and the shirt we got is definitely worth getting a custom suit. Also they have the cutest dogs in the shop. Can't wait to have another reason to get another suit from here! read more

The Ascot Shop is the quintessential local family owned high quality mens clothier in La Jolla. The give back to local non profits and the staff is outstanding. My contact there is John Hennessy and he knew by looking at me what was going to fit when I was interested in casual pants and long sleeve shirt. Very high quality clothes and a wonderful selection of style and colors. My suggestion is to get on their email list so you are sent the incentives like spend $300 and get $100 off. Thanks John see you again in 2020! read more

You couldn't find a better men's store than the Ascot shop! We came here for my husbands wedding suit, and left with my fathers suit and so much more!

This is a follow-up to the review I previously posted. My first experience with The Ascot Shop was phenomenal, and it has only gotten better. I met with Andy to begin the process of customizing a suit from scratch. The level of service he provided was exceptional from start to finish. The design process was a blast. The level of customization is absolutely incredible. Andy walked me through various books containing examples of fabrics, buttons, threading, linings, etc. Literally every detail of the suit can be customized. Andy and other Associates provided options and suggestions. They are true experts and their experience really shows in the final product. The design process took about an hour, then came the measurements. This is the part that truly impressed me. Andy took about 15 minutes to take all my measurements. I tried on their "base model" suit to get an idea of the fit. He made detailed notes of how my suit needed to be altered to ensure a perfect fit. Once again the attention to detail was brilliant. From the way the pockets on the pants lay to the room in the chest of the jacket, Andy knew exactly what needed to be done for an impeccable fit. He even asked if I wear large watches and accounted for that when measuring me for a custom-tailored shirt I opted to get. I mentioned that the measurement process was what truly impressed me; that's because when the suit arrived it fit perfectly. There was not one stitch that had to be adjusted. The jacket, vest, pants, and French cuff Robert Talbott shirt all fit as if they used some space aged tech to take measurements. Absolutely incredible. The Ascot Shop is truly a one stop shop for men looking for a great product and a great experience. Everyone at the shop treats you like family and it's easy to see the passion they have for what they do. I want to thank Andy and everyone at the store, I know I'll be looking sharp on my wedding day. I'll be back soon to design a sport coat or two. read more

I shopped with Justin at the store and tried on some different suits and shirts. They have a lot of really great products. Justin was very knowledgable about the different style and color options. The brands are really high end which is nice, but it's definitely not cheap. You really get what you pay for though. If you can afford it, I'd totally recommend it. I'll be back again soon. read more

Very high quality clothing. You don't see this quality and style of clothing anywhere today. I have been shopping at Nordstrom all this time but this place is very classy with very selective clothing. They have very good taste and one of the 3rd generation store in operation for over 72 years. Thanks to the owner and Satchel for top notch customer service and making us feel at home. My kids had a great time with the most beautiful owner's dog. I found the place quite reasonable for the quality. This is my new go to place. read more

Come to the Ascot if you need high-end men's wear for a special occasion The Ascot is your one-stop shop. Conveniently the Ascot shop is located on a street with all high-end male attire. I came here to find yellow socks for my husband on our wedding day. Of course we waited until two weeks before the wedding to start looking and to our dismay after calling literally every calling/ department store and having no luck, including Jos A Banks next door (who could have cared less we were in the store), I was in the Ascot for 2 minutes and found them. We were promptly greeted by a nice salesmen, who after pointing me to the winning socks, told me he would give 25% off because they were going on sale the upcoming week. Something a salesperson can't do at a major retailer. For that service the Ascot has earned my business. If you want exceptional service and product-The Ascot will meet all of your needs. read more

My wife and I visited La Jolla this week for a quick get-away, and I stopped into this well-designed, comfortable, and accommodating shop for a look-around. Being a serious clotheshorse, I was immediately captivated by the elegantly stylish array of perfectly curated casual and formal shirts, trousers, jackets, and suits. The impressively displayed casual wear was a shopper's delight to walk through. However, the VERY BEST part of my experience in this shop was the personalized attention and service I received from EVERYONE working there. Their professionalism and enthusiasm for what they purvey to their clientele is uncommon in this day of department store indifference. Whether you want a pair of shorts, a golf shirt, a high-end casual or formal shirt, a well-cut sports jacket, or a perfectly tailored suit, The Ascot Shop is not to be missed! Bill and Andy White (father & son) and staff are carring-on their 70-year tradition of offering San Diego (they actually have clients from well beyond La Jolla who prefer shopping here to anywhere else) the VERY BEST in menswear and service. Go in for a quick look, a glass of wine (or something stronger), and I guarantee you will leave with a new look and a BIG smile- I know, I sure did! read more

Amazing customer service at Ascot! Everyone there is super knowledgeable and friendly, they also have a wide range of clothes from traditional formal to fashion forward trends. read more

I am beyond thrilled that I chose to shop at "The Ascot Shop." I walked in, I approached Nick, and told him what I wanted. Immediately, he told me all of my options. I asked him for his expertise, and he fitted me in an amazing suit. My price point was on the lowest end. If you see me in this suit, you would have NO idea that this wasn't a $3000 - $4000 custom-tailored suit. The fit is AMAZING! I spent zero thought or effort in deciding what suit and shirt to pick. Nick took excellent care of me. If you are looking for expertise and easy shopping at nearly any price point. GO TO THE ASCOT SHOP! I was in and out in about 20 minutes... picked up my suit one week later.. and I'm beyond satisfied. I am a customer for life. read more

Ascot shop was referred to me by a good friend. Well, they are a great friend now. I came in looking for a casual dinner outfit. Tiffany welcomed me in and have me the tour.

Thank you very much Tiffany. read more

The Ascot shop is bar none my favorite clothing store in San Diego. It is a one of a kind local establishment since it brings classic quality menswear to a city that sorely needs it. They have great trunk shows through out the year which showcase awesome American clothing companies, and a staff that is always keen to accommodate your needs and leave you happy. read more

Are you a rich WASP? Are you looking for stylish duds to outfit yourself while you ride in your Bentley, perhaps because you're running late for a wine-and-cheese tasting at the yacht club? Do you ever mistake yourself for Jude Law or Rupert Everett? If you answered 'yes' to any these questions, you'd be at home at the Ascot Shop. If you answered 'no' to all of them, get out of the Ascot Shop and haul your sorry ass straight to Old Navy. You'll be glad you did. read more

Amazing clothing, and even better service. We have been coming to the Ascot Shop for years and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a top-of-the-line environment and shopping experience. read more

I cant say enough about these guys. These are the kind of guys that remember you by your first name and treat you like a friend of the family. I was going on a business trip and wanted a new suit for the occasion. I went in and sat down with Andy and explained what I wanted and that I needed the suit ASAP. Andy had me a Hickey Freeman suit and two shirts overnighted, tailored and ready for pickup in three days. You can't ask for more than that. Since that day, I have been back several times and have made The Ascot Shop my one stop shop for all things clothing. They carry all of the names and products that you would expect from a high-end mens clothier, but their dedication to exceptional customer service is what will keep you coming back. If you are looking for another suit or anything else, check them out, you will be happy you did. read more

I have to come here a lot for my boss and Bill and Andy are always very nice to me. You get true customer service here, even if you are just an assistant and not really the one doing the shopping : ) read more

Let me preface this by saying I'm not rich, I make $1400 a month, and that has never thwarted my abilities to walk out of there looking dapper without spending a ton. Talk to Bill and Andy and they will help you out. They have clothes at every price point with the type of personal attention you never find these days. There is no sales pressure and a fantastic wardrobe package, mentioned on their website, which is fantastic for those brand new to the corporate world. You will not regret coming here. read more

On Saturday the 15th of June my wife and I went to La Jolla for a wedding. A dear friend of mine and his fiancé had flown in from Mongolia for a wedding where he grew up. We arrived in town with a few hours to putter around, so we walked about and looked at the beautiful town. About 35 minutes before the wedding we went back to the hotel to get ready and I discovered that my pants weren't with my suit jacket. I recalled having seen The Ascot Shop while walking around and I knew if anyone could help me on short notice, that would be the place. They didn't disappoint. I walked in with the jacket 25 minutes before the wedding started. Andy, although very busy, recognized the direness of my situation and quickly found a pair of slacks that matched the jacket. Naturally the tailor had left for the day, but Andy's Aunt, Suzy if memory serves, sprang into action. She found a needle and thread while Andy marked the pants for hemming. After turning the pants over to Suzy I hustled back to the hotel, grabbed my shirt, shoes, socks, and tie, told my wife I would meet her at the ceremony, and rushed back over to The Ascot Shop. I pulled on my clothes and Suzy had the pants ready for me to jump into. I made it to the ceremony, missing only the entrance of the bridal party and the first reading. I was amazed at the professionalism, calmness, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of Andy and Suzy. They made me look good and in turn they looked good. Thanks you guys! read more

This shop is a true one of a kind place. I visited with my dad and he is a a lover of men's clothing. They make you feel at home. You get a cozy feel the second you wake in and they are not pushy sales people. They offer water or coffee while you browse their rooms. They offer custom clothing which is what caught my fathers eye. The clothing is very hip and classic and they have a few women's items as well. Overall this was a pleasant experience and I was just along for the ride! We will be back to visit the ascot shop! read more

Had such a great experience at the Ascot Shop getting a suit and various outfits. I was helped by Andy who spent 3+ hours patiently walking me through the process from start to finish. He immediately picked up on my style and selected a bunch of different choices that fit amazing and looked even better. The service and selection here is unparalleled to any menswear shopping experience in San Diego. You will not be disappointed. read more
