Super clean very well organized store! I found a super nice thick Carharrt shirt great quality! This clothing store has come a long ways. There is tons of inventory to choose from. The owner has given everybody a great store on Monterey Street in Gilroy to shop in, huge improvement for downtown ,stop in and take a look. read more

Love it there!!! Always great going there and they always help you out for the things you are looking for for work

Great quality products and service. The sales people there always help me find the solution to my clothing problems. My husband wears a 4X so it's nice to have a place to easily find clothing for big & tall sizes. Dickies, carhartt, Viking, hard hats, belts, they have it all. read more

Walked in here today because I live right near by, and for the first time I saw that it was open. I was at first really excited, because when I looked around, it looked like an amazing place for all the basics of tough clothing and footwear! I am a young professional in architecture, and this place reminded me of visits to job sites, and some wood shop, metal shop, and welding projects that I worked on in school. Unfortunately my mood was almost immediately ruined as an elderly white gentleman that was talking to the white individual at the register switched their topic of conversation from business lately, to theft, and raised their voices to the point that I could overhear them no matter where I was in the store. I assumed this was random chatter though and not immediately directed at me until I turned around and they were staring directly at me. And as they continued their conversation, they continued to watch me around the store. Now, I am not at all a stranger to being profiled (Filipino, darker skinned), but the feeling of them watching me as I walked around the store made me extremely uncomfortable, to the point that after a couple of minutes, I left. I was really looking forward to buying some new work boots and equipment, as a couple of jobs recently came back, but I will never come back to this store again. read more

Was in need for a new pair of boots, my Timerlands had seen better days. This was my second visit as I previously inquired about comfortable insoles. Adequate parking in the rear of the building as always and this part of town doesnt really get that busy. As before, I was kindly greeted by a friendly face with a bright smile. Preceeded to shoe section and knew exactly what I wanted. Exactly the same boots I had on now, lol. They lasted 2 years and I'm a creature of habit and always trust what I know. They're durable and don't require too much of a break-in period to settle into. A gentleman kindly asked me what size I wanted and I didn't even open the box. Headed to the register and had a friendly chat with the associates there. I highly recommend this over Red Wing, Bass Pro, Dick's, Boot Barn, Sears, DSW, etc...although small, they have high end products and I always feel better to support the small mom and pop than the big brand stores. Thank you for a pleasant experience as always. Did notice the nice Carhartt hoodies and jackets on the way out...will be back soon...stay tuned. read more

Shop local, independently owned businesses. They have everything we need. Convenient parking lot next door. read more

A couple of days ago I went to buy some new clothes for work. The employee who was there was the only one there but had time to help me out. It took an hour to find the boots that would fit me properly. When I was about to give up the elderly employee found me a pair of Timberline pros in my size and on sale. I will admit I was in sticker shock, then I realized it was cheaper than going to Walmart every few months to replace my colthes. read more

Great store and products as well as customer service and prices. They have a very big selection on working clothes and accessories. read more

My son needed steel-toed boots for his new job so I decided to try this store. We were both very pleased with the variety of clothing and safety equipment in stock and especially on sale when we visited! It truly has everything a "workingman" (or woman) could want! The large variety of boot choices meant my son chose the best style and fit for his feet. I also liked the stock of Carhardt brand clothes. I'm certain my son will return as needed and I'll do my shopping there for durable clothing to wear on my job sites. read more

Great independent store with a good selection of work attire and work boots. Even though this store is very close to downtown San Jose, it has its own decent size parking lot with plenty of available parking stalls. read more

As the name suggests, these guy cater to the blue collar crowd. In hoity toity silicon valley it's nice to know there's a place where us ordinary folks can go and feel like we're human beings even though we drive up in a piece o junk. The best part is that these guys are actually helpful. The problem I have is if my wife comes along, she sits in the car and when I finally get out of the place there's hell to pay because I spent 10 minutes buying something and 30 minutes chattin' it up with employees. read more

The 4 stars is for the customer service!!! There are many varieties to choose from but it's not tailored to female needs and sizes!! I tried on a size small of the chef's jacket and waist size 26" for the chef's pants but both looks like I was trying to fashion baggy-style... Great establishment and I think if you are a guy and needs any type of industrial/commercial uniform then go here! read more

Excellent selection of SERIOUS work clothing. They don't cater to the fashion segment of the market, and stick to the hardcore blue collar work clothing. The best place hands-down in the south bay for Carhartt. Terrific selection of Dickies, Ben Davis, and boots as well. A note regarding Carhartt--this place sells only first-quality product, and for very good prices. There are other retailers out there that sell factory seconds, and you don't realize it until a few days later and see a crooked seam or flaw in the fabric. This is the only place I would buy Carhartt. Friendly, knowledgeable service as well. read more

This store represents EVERYTHING I want in a local store. Awesome customer service, very organized, large selection of sizes, affordable pricing, and great products. My husband usually shops here for his work wear and I have a few boots from this place as well. If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, they have catalogs you can peruse. They carry hard to find sizes, including tall sizes and the prices are pretty low for the Bay Area. I would rather drive to this location to shop than purchase items online. read more

Always greeted with great customer service. My husband who's in IT and refuses to wear "nice pants" we buy his dickies here at least 3 times a year. Painter pant jeans are a bargin here too read more

I gotta laugh when I see the category this store is in: Fashion! (snort) Nothing in this store has changed much in years - this is the place for Carhartt, Dickies, Ben Davis and the like. And, if you happen to need an orange jumpsuit (and the state isn't providing one for you), this is the place to get it. Store is neatly laid out - stuff is easy to find, and the prices are pretty reasonable, considering it'll probably last forever. These guys have been here for 40 years or more, and they know their stuff. Nice private parking lot just north of the store - just be careful pulling out - the light rail runs RIGHT OUT FRONT. read more

I guess the only complaint is that I'd like to see the bargain t-shirt and hoodie racks filled with more Wrangler or Ely Cattleman, Roper, etc. instead. However, I've never left this place without buying something and I don't exactly go there looking for 'work' wear. So, it's really more my problem than theirs. But in this part of the state, finding decent clothes that don't either fall apart, cost 5x as much as they should or cut off circulation to every piece of anatomy they touch is difficult. If it isn't designed for the obese, it's intentionally too small hipster junk. Regardless, I genuinely enjoy being in this store and I'm glad it exists. read more

I used to buy my Carhartt painters pants at another store until they stopped carrying them, I found The Workingman's Emporium online and off I went. They had what I needed and just about every other product Carhartt makes along with many other manufacturers. Great store, reasonable prices, and a helpful staff. read more

Favorite store. They have a great inventory. The father son team are very nice. The store is clean organized has great parking and prices are good. Plus they have fitting rooms. Way better than workwear. Highly recommend this spot. read more

I've been here twice to get my hubby's stuff for work. As soon as you enter the store, they greeted you right away. Everybody is very friendly and helpful. They have bunch of work apparel for your different needs. This is why i like little mom and pop stores like this because they have good costumer service compare to big retail companies. read more

Great selection and excellent service, would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for work wear!

This right in downtown San Jose. They sale variety working clothes and shoe plus boot. Customer service was excellent. I bought a pair of Keen steel toe shoe, and a pair of cargo shorts. Let see how is feel this week. read more

Workingmans's Emporium - Store Front - Men's Clothing Near Me - Gilroy, California

See all

First time here I was looking to buy a pair of work boots. Walked in and was greeted right away. Walked to the shoes section of the store where I was asked right away if I needed any help looking for anything. Once I found the boots I was looking for I was asked many questions to make sure they were the right pair for my work environment. Also made sure they were comfortable. I definitely found a store that I will be getting all my work boots and clothes from. read more

Great customer service the gentleman suggested I try on clothes to make sure they find. Good thing I did ,because I had got the wrong size.

They have an alright selection. Not enough American made products. There are a few boot and clothing companies that still make their products in the states, and it would be nice to see a work clothing store carry these products, too. At least offer them. Not sure why they don 't. I don't like driving to the central valley just to buy clothes for work. Please support American manufacturing. read more

Great customer service... And great selection.. They carry half sizes in their pant selection , (31, 33' waist). Also, the staff is very friendly...... they were out of stock on some work pants I wanted.... The counter person took my phone number and said they would call when the pants came in. Less than a week later they called to let me know the pants were in read more

My husband and I went here today looking for Carhartt bib overalls for him. We had been to a couple others stores in the area and came up empty handed so we weren't expecting much here. We were pleasantly surprised by the selection at Workingmans Emporium, and the prices are the best in town! We found everything my husband needed with the help of an energetic, knowledgeable employee and I can say with confidence that this is where we will be buying his work clothes from now on! read more

I was pleased by this store. The people who answer the phones and the gentleman who helped with some Carharrt shirts I could not find anywhere else. The products they sell are mostly of high quality and the prices where average or a bit higher. If I figure how much gas costs to go somewhere farther, it's cheaper just to make my purchases here. The staff is helpful and friendly. I felt like they were deserving of my good business. Four stars overall because the selection is not that full and some special ordering may be required, but five stars for everything else. read more

I never write reviews but I must say that this place is outstanding! Customer service was great and I showed up 30 minutes till closing on a Saturday and they did not rush me and I was able to shop! They had exactly what I was looking for and I will continue to be a loyal customer read more

Great place for non-slip work shoes!! High quality & super affordable! The fella who helped me was service focused & good hearted! Thank you again!!! If you're in the f&b bizz, check out their shoe line!! If u want to be taken care of check out WME!! read more

This is a great family run shop with history. Staff is friendly and super helpful. The prices on dickey's are fantastic and the price on their waterproof gear is unbeatable. What I paid over 300 for at REI I was able to get here for 100 and it is much more durable was not a brand I was familiar with but the quality was top notch. My hubby just got a pair if shoes there and so far has been really pleased with them. read more

I like to thank the gentleman that helped me out, expert advise , I let them know what was my profession and I was recommended a certain type of footwear, my feet felt like they were floating, next day I thought I was walking on air, great gear as well , waterproof, wow I was in heaven , no wait it was the workman's shop. 5***** for service and support. read more

This is a great store. They have excellent product selections, competitive prices and friendly service.

I went there to buy my work shoes, pretty nice place even though i went there to just buy shoes, I could see that they have everything..personnel was very friendly and helpful, I will definitely come back again read more

I came here to buy a polo, pants, boots, and a belt for an ambulance ride along. Their prices are a steal! I saved a lot of money by going here. They have a good selection of work clothes, shoes, socks, belts, safety vests, accessories, and more in many different sizes. They carry high quality brands such as Carhartt, Gildan, and Dickies. They have workwear for construction, police, paramedics, emts, food service, and school uniforms. If you are looking for a good place to buy your work uniform or clothes or durable outdoor gear, check here. If you need help finding stuff, go ask the staff, they are knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. read more

Had exactly what I needed. Awesomely helpful staff. Little bit out of my way but well worth the time!

This place is ok...the guys there is helpful. They will try to find the clothings u need. The price is reasonable but sizes is a problem. Most of the time they are out of my size. Other than that this is a good place to shop. read more
