Jos. A. Bank

I went in there to get a few items and none of the sales staff acknowledged me. In fact one salesman looked right at me and didn’t even greet me. I don’t have an alarming appearance! I am a 50ish year old clean cut white male. I was dressed in casual business attire when I walked in. I look like I have money to spend. When I asked the salesman (who didn’t greet me when I came in) a question, he acted like I was irritating him. He just seemed like a real snob! The store was not busy so I don’t know why he was avoiding talking to customers (There was two of us in his area of sight). After looking around a little longer I decided to leave. They lost my business. I have probably spent over $ 4,000 in clothing there over the last 2 years. After leaving the store I drove to Macy’s in the Oak Park Mall and bought 3 clothing items. Macy’s staff were polite and seemed authentically interested in meeting the customer’s needs. I did not get the name of the rude salesman at Joseph A. Bank. but he was tall, about 6′ 4″ had dark wavy hair (gray on the sides) and looked between the ages of 45 – 50! I actually wanted to look at the guy and say, «You think you are better than me? You sell mens clothing for a living and I probably make your yearly salary in two months!

As we plan our wedding, it came time for my fiancé and I to figure out what me and my groomsmen will be wearing. But lets be honest… it was mostly her ;) So let me say from the start — this is a review of service related to tuxedo rental, rather than purchasing of actual clothing. But I do have some thoughts on that which I will share.
We first went to the token Mens Wearhouse and got about what we expected — friendly enough service, basic choices, and staff that just didn’t know quite as much as they should. A friend then turned me on to Jos A Bank, which he used for his wedding in California this past summer. «Better service» he promised.
Chase, our associate, sat us down and went through the whole process regarding what we can get, how we order it, when it gets delivered, etc. They were really cool about my wearing one color of vest/​tie, and my groomsmen all wearing a different color. The fact that they have locations all around the country means that my guys can go to a Jos A Bank near their various locations and it can all get delivered to the Overland Park location just before the wedding.
So hopefully everything will come in right, or else I’ll have to update my review. But so far, so good.
In regards to the clothing one can buy — it’s your standard men’s store. Selection is pretty good, and quality seems good. Prices do seem slightly higher than I expected. You always see those commercials of Buy 1 Get 2 suits and it makes you think this store is on the cheaper side, but it really isn’t from what I saw. It certainly seems to be a bit more expensive than Men’s Wearhouse, but cheaper than Nordstrom.
