He was there for two hours, searching for his own pants and socks and shirts, when he asked to use the bathroom. The answer was No. NO bathroom? He wan't finished shopping and had to go. So he walked outside and peed in the alley. Ha! Thanks Wilmette Joseph A Banks. Also, they crossed out a $25 price on a three pack of socks and rang it up at $34. I guess when they have a sale they increase prices. The Evanston location was SO much better. We are done shopping here.

While on the way from Nordstroms to the Coach Store, my wife and I saw a menswear store with an…read moreunfamiliar name. Peeking in, the store was beautifully maintained with a wide array of men's clothing, coats and accessories. My wife and I were greated by Antonio, one of the managers and we spent awhile looking at the various items. Apparently. Rodd & Gunn is a well established and venerable New Zealand company even though it was new to us. I am used to shopping for menswear on Oak Street in Chicago, but I think I have a new supplier in the rotation. My wife spotted a very nice jacket and Antonio immediately secured the correct size for us from the storeroom. It fit very well and I was very tempted to purchase it, but my wife made excuses as to why I shouldn't, so we left empty handed. It turns out that she had aspirations to sneak back and purchase it for my birthday next month! I felt badly ruining her surprise, but a few days later I mentioned ordering it and she decided to take a trip with me to the mall to pick it up. Susan (or Susie- I'm bad with names) helped my wife purchase it for me. Both Susan and Antonio treated us with courtesy, friendliness and helped us make our way around the store. I know I will be back as I noticed some very nice pullover sweaters at a very reasonable cost. I found the prices to be fair, the styles to be current and the quality highly satisfactory. I've been wearing the jacket for a few days and I am very satisfied.

That said, when it came time to pick a suit for my upcoming wedding - I knew I wanted to go big with a Brooks Brothers Wool Sharkskin 1818 design. Having only been able to make it to the store time in the final few hours that day on a Friday, Reggie greeted me, understood my request right away and made me feel very well taken care of. He understood the urgency and care that was needed with my request and ensured he could get the suit measured with the tailors on staff just before they left for the night. I would highly recommend going through the experience of getting a special suit - just do your homework and know what you want to try on before going in as this is a store that will have what you see online whereas an outlet will not. Thank you so much Reggie and the Skokie Brooks Brothers team for all your help!

I had a wedding to attend and my wardrobe needed refreshing. Too many years of business casual…read moreattire means my old suits are out of style and ill fitting. I stopped in after looking at suits online because I wanted to see the cut and quality. I immediately got the help I needed. I had pretty much already picked out my suit, verified in person, so the rest was about getting fitted and finished. The tailor was efficient and accurate in measuring the alterations. Recommendations for suitable shirts and ties were helpful. I had to have the suit shipped since I was leaving Chicago before the alterations could be finished. I chose a good time to shop since the suit was on sale and I got additional $$ credited by using the BB credit card. My suit arrived on time and with an excellent fit. Now I need to find more reasons to wear this outfit.

I came in with a general idea of what I needed, but once Elaine learned what I was looking for and which event I was attending, she got right to work.

You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients looking their best. If you need a suit for any event, go to Suits 20 20 and ask for Elaine Kim. You won't be disappointed.

Yikes! What a mess tonight for the Colston Loveland appearance! I will give credit where credit is…read moredue. The store provided hot cider, beverages, luggage tags, Pellegrino for us patrons attending the event. Colston arriving late was out of there control but what wasn't out of their control was how they handled the crowd and the lack of accountability in making us wait, wait without any updates. The staff allowed people to come in and there was no rhyme or reason on how the line was set up inside. The line went sideways when Colston was interviewed by Tom Waddle because everyone got out of line so those that got there earlier had people who were in back go in front. Nothing was done about this when it brought up to one of the people running the event (dark haired brunette). This is the same person that seemed to speak differently to people of color vs. caucasian people. Needless to say, there should've had a event staff run this event because it was clear, whoever ran this had little to no experience the crowd size of 200+. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth as I shared with folks ahead of tonights event at LifeTime Fitness about this event featuring performance apparel. I'll make sure to redirect them to Lululemon or Ten Thousand.

I came in just for a return and it was literally done in seconds! Absolutely no hassle or having to explain why I was making the return (had all tags and original mail order packaging).

Everything I have bought from Vuori seems to hold up really well in the wash without any shrinkage, which makes it worth the extra cost.

I then went through each of the fabrics. I wanted to purchase for my shirt and 3 custom suits and did all the measurements. They had about 15 minutes to spare when I finally asked for the total price so I can get billed and leave. I told my sales rep and manager that I was buying a suit that needed to be ready within a couple weeks maybe 3 to 4 and they said that they can meet that timeframe as well as have everything done before the hour. When I was saying OK, let's check out - with plenty of time to spare, they pushed me out the door by saying why don't you schedule another time with your Sales Rep for the next time he'll be here. ... we're closing. My wife was with me and I was pretty upset because I was wasted several hours of figuring out where I wanted to go and when I finally arrived there and did all the work to buy new suits, they rushed me out so they can close for the night early .... never again!

I have one very active grandson and one who's not as active, and Johnathan showed me outfits that matched each of their lifestyles. On top of that, he even convinced me to grab a pair of running shoes for myself! His customer service was amazing super friendly, knowledgeable, and always smiling.

The genius behind Mayu is a young woman who came back from the Peace Corps with a vision. You can read all about it on the website. If you have questions, get in touch with Kate - you won't be disappointed, she has a very personal touch. (She remembered me five years later - to my total amazement.) If you have the ability to spend what feels to me like really serious money (~$75-$200) for items like hats and scarves, you will feel good about spending it here. I now have two items from Mayu that are quite simply some of the most beautiful things I own, in addition to actually being quite practical. Normally this kind of thing is not within my budget, but sometimes... what can I say.
