Mr Sid

I’ve shopped at Mr. Sid now for the past 5 years and I can’t imagine a better Men’s clothier anywhere. Barry and Stuart, or Stuart and Barry are absolutely engaged on all aspects of the client experience. They endeavor to know their customers and they are constantly reinvesting back into top brands and to completely upgrade all aspects of the store. The basement has resort wear and more laid back clothes and an incredible men’s babershop/​spa called Chivalry. That’s a total upgrade from what was there even 4 months ago. The main floor has a number of different rooms/​themes from casual to formal and every style in between. And now they’ve added a brand new changing room area and tailor station with all new woods. They have incredible men’s brands from Zenga, Isaia, Eidos, Fratelli, Van Laack, Brioni and about 100 more. Stop in, meet the great team there that will help you find exactly what you are looking for and relax with a beer or a glass of wine while doing so. I highly recommend a visit and a purchase at Mr. Sid.

A really nice store, great clothing lines, and excellent service greeted me on my first visit to Mr. Sid. I was helped by Barry, one of the owners. They obviously have a vision and know their customers. There is nothing «cheap» here, and if your budget requires «cheap» this isn’t where to shop. But there are great options at a variety of price points. And there are many options for made-​in-​America and made-​in-​Massachusetts clothing, shoes, etc.

I came in hoping to buy a few suits. You’d think a high-​end haberdasher would greet a customer within a reasonable amount of time and ask if he needed anything or had any questions, even if that employee was tied up with another customer or was in the middle of something. Not these guys. In ten minutes, I wasn’t acknowledged once (two of the employees did look at my shoes as they walked by).
Exasperated at such a basic customer service misstep, I finally got up and left. As I walked out, they said they thought I was waiting for someone. Yea: I was waiting for them.

Although I use the salon down stairs, which surprisingly, always consistent in service and product. I occasionally stroll thru the top floor. Everything you need as a man, a one stop shop. Great variety and style. Across between Neiman’s and Brooks Brothers. Pricey a bit, but 110% quality. Sales men so sincere and helpful.

Always a nice store. A lot of nice items and everything you need from a men’s store. They have a full bar, too, for those shopping more in depth :) We haven’t dealt with many salesmen, but everyone always seems nice and willing to help.
Parking isn’t the best, only metered parking outside or metered lot across the street.
It isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for… so this is not a negative to me.

Mr. Sid is second to none. Whether it’s your first time in the store or you’re a repeat customer, the fine folks at Mr. Sid go above and beyond to meet your needs. As a younger customer, I truly appreciate the respect with which I am treated and the style advice I have received as I transition from a student to a professional. Couple this exceptional customer service with a unique collection of the world’s finest menswear and you have Boston’s best men’s store, bar none. Experience Mr. Sid and you will never go anywhere else, I certainly will not.

I’ve been shopping at Mr Sid for over a year now and I can’t say enough good things about it. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable on current and upcoming fashion trends. They keep me looking good, and looking appropriate for all occasions.
Andrew has an extensive knowledge on black tie attire and men’s footwear. Josh has gained my complete trust on picking out the right outfit for the right occasion.
Lastly, I couldn’t mention Mr. Sid without mentioning Stu & Barry. These guys are no only great retailers, but have become good friends.
If you need a suit, dress clothes, shoes, or mens sportswear, check them out. You won’t be disappointed.

After searching high and low for a black bow tie that wasn’t a total bore and finding none in Boston proper, suddenly a plethora of them unfolded at Mr. Sid (and all with matching braces, if that’s your thing)!
Can’t wait to explore the store further. They are so kind, the store is so handsome (even as they are changing things up), they carry Bois 1920 cologne, have a full bar and didn’t bat an eye when I made it clear that I was shopping for my wife with a capital W. (Hey, you never know.) I mentioned that we were in the market for either a tailored or MTM suit for her in the near future, and they seemed really excited to work with us on that front. Can’t wait for the barbershop situation to open up downstairs — it’s so exciting!
Side note: They throw cool fundraising events like the Casino Royale one being hosted there later this month. FUN.

I’ve been into Mr. Sid quite a few times, and have always been impressed. The salespeople know their product, and know what is going to look great on you. Their merchandise is beautiful, and extremely well presented. You are always treated like family, and never pushed into buying anything. As a salesman myself I appreciate everything a family owned business stands for, and Mr. Sid is no exception.

I wish I knew about this place a long time ago.
When I buy a suit or a really nice piece of clothing, here’s what I want to happen. I want the staff to be knowledgeable and understand the artistry in what they are selling. I love it when the staff is comfortable talking to people and not just looking to make a sale, but to find the right thing for the customer. To understand what different cloths, dyes, and cuts are and what makes them special. Mr. Sid does all of these things and much more.
The store is beautify setup in a way that each section almost seems to tell it’s own story. The lighting is great, and it smells nice too. It’s very spacious while not being overwhelming, and the overall feeling of the place was relaxed. It’s a place you could spend a lot of time in exploring.
Downstairs is a whole hair salon, and a nice room with a pool table too, really cool! I didn’t end up purchasing anything that day just because I was looking around, but I’m positive I’ll be back. I can honestly say I’ve never seen a store like this anywhere. And as far as nice clothing goes, this is the place to get it. It’s really something to experience.

My dad and I went to Mr. Sid after hearing about their custom made suits. The experience was great from the beginning, we were greeted immediately upon walking in and the sales staff was extremely helpful. We loved the clothes that we found there. They spent a lot of time with us helping us figure out what we wanted and we found a beautiful blue striped silk shirt. Mr. Sid does a good job with formal wear for older men, I don’t think that it is particularly fashion forward but it has all the basics that a man would need in his wardrobe. There is street parking near the store and it’s easy to snag a spot.

I was very underwhelmed by the service at this place. Although I was greeted, it was rather slow, and no-​one asked what I was looking for, said the usual ‘please let me know if you need anything’ or if I needed any help (I was looking for something specific). After walking around and seeing their prices, it seems that their wares are very overpriced compared with some of the stuff I can get on Newbury St, If you are savvy enough to be reading reviews on Unilocal,I would say pass on this one.

I was put off by Mr. Sid. I bought two suits, two pairs of slacks and some ties, despite the inflated prices. The son of the owner helped me. The next time I was in he recognized me and said «when are you going to make a REAL purchase?» Uh, how about never again.

I was not at all impressed by Mr Sid. Some of the stuff is very nice but the majority of the clothing is very middle of the road and dull. I thought the place looked nice but seemed empty. I was wondering if Mr Sid is going out of business it had that kind of look to it. The prices are high and I was more or less ignored by the sales staff. I was there to buy something to wear to a funeral and frankly this is the place for funeral clothes. If you are a dentist or a stock broker you might find what you are looking for at Mr Sid.

Casual and sportswear for men from Ermenegildo Zegna, Bruno Magli, Brioni, and Canali. GREAT FOR: suits. I think this is where my dad gets his suits. (COOL RIGHT?)
