There are only two places in downtown Cincinnati that a man needs to frequent for his wardrobe:…read moreBatsakes for the top of his head and Bolero for everything down from there. Owner Jim Elkus provides the attentive, discriminating service that one once enjoyed at department stores before they became more interested in enrolling you in their store credit card than fitting you, properly. Any man who wants to look like they know what they're doing should visit Jim.

After discovering that the House of Adam downtown had been closed for years, yep its been that long…read moresince I have shopped at an independent menswear shop, I found Bolero in a Yelp search. I was looking for an offbeat sport coat to compliment a pair of slacks for a wedding ceremony and celebration. Jim took his time and helped me find what I needed and had me try on numerous clothing items. Found a perfect coat for the occasion which he is altering for my sleeve length. I also picked up a great cardigan that I have gotten numerous compliments on. The service was top notch and Jim was fun to talk to. He even gave suggestions for other clothing shops in the area. You dont get this type of service in many places anymore. Thank you Jim!!!

The owner of Bolero recognizes me and allows me to mill about the store. Craig offers me "help" multiple times and eventually creeps up behind while I'm trying to shop pointing out items and insights on items that I truly have no need or genuine interest in. Not once has he offered a cocktail (I've had to ask in the past) or acknowledged me as a repeat customer. It's time to rethink approach until then I will minimize visits.

Shopping local is important for so many reasons and 45/46 has a ton of great gifts for the man in your life! I love the shave kits with old time-y accessories, not to mention they smelled amazing. I also loved the different assortment of unique socks, bow ties and cufflinks. Then they have the usual polos, button downs, suits, shoes, pants etc. For once men can get something that is not just a square boring pattern, but actually unique and stylish. A great little store, a little pricey, but worth the money for the quality.

I can't say enough about how well I have been treated here, Chris has been amazing to say the least. I originally came here a few years ago and just looked around, but I wasn't looking to really change the way I looked. I came here about a year ago for a Yelp event and couldn't believe how well the treated us and gave us the grand tour. I knew when I needed to make a lifestyle change this is where I was coming. We have all purchased off the rack clothes that feel well okay. I have several items in my closet that way. I just got my first ever custom blazer, a nice pair of dress pants, a good pair of jeans for classy casual, some amazingly comfortable shoes, and nice shirt and some pocket squares. I don't think I have ever felt so good in an outfit in my life. Sure it will cost a bit more than going to a big box store, but I will say this I feel like a million dollars in my new clothes. I can't say that ever in anything off the rack that hangs in my closet and is never worn. Why buy something you don't feel good in just to hang in your closet. I own 3 blazers that will be going to goodwill soon and maybe even a suit. I will be back here to buy more clothes. I can't wait to walk back in knowing Chris will be there to make sure I look good and to know that what I buy will not be a fad and out of fashion in a year or less. I will say this is money well spent, that I will not be giving to goodwill ever. So when you need a good outfit for work or just to feel better about being a better dressed person, come in and see Chris or anyone else for that matter. They will all treat you the same no matter what. Thank you Chris for the amazing customer service you provided me and for the truly perfect outfit.

The first pair, the guy at this location told me just to grab a replacement, which made me spend a few hundred on shirts because of good business practices. This time, the guy refused to honor the guarantee on the pair included in the picture. Claiming normal ware and tear on the back of the jeans clearly on the middle inseam! I told him after a year goes by, I'll stop bringing them back in. Already ordered replacement ridge pants that hopefully hold up better (not as light as Meridian unfortunately). I'm not looking for handouts, but want to get my money out of them so it's not a complete waste (I have all the colors). Now I've lost a lot of confidence in the company as a whole. I have a lot of their clothing, backpacks, and accessories. Before, I was assured that the quality is so good that they'll stand behind it. Now that they're not, the quality must be causing them too many problems to keep up with that assurance. Third picture is the size of pants compared to fresh order made a month ago. I haven't added on in size which would be a meaningful denial as well. He just kept repeating the same thing like one of my toddlers. Just doing what he's told is my guess.

It's always very busy here, but it's ok, bc they have enough people working that you can always find help when you need it. And one of the best parts, is that some of the friendly staff walk around with credit card readers on tablets, so they can check you out quickly without creating a long line for everyone to go through the registers.-Brilliant! I also like, how some items are still out of my price range, but not everything, so it's a good mix. And lets talk about the shoe selection, it's awesome! Hate to say it, but way better then the selection at the neighboring TJ Maxx. It's easy to find what you're looking for, and items are usually organized by label, or at least by type (ie outerwear, jeans, sweaters..etc) so you know exactly what you're looking at, instead of going on a "needle in a hay stack" hunt like you would at above mentioned TJ Maxx.
