John Varvatos

If the quality of the Customer Service here matched the quality of the inventory here this review would definitely be 5 Stars. I love John Varvatos and came to the store with the full intention of out spending my budget and buying something. As we meandered through the store, I wondered where the staff was. There was only one man behind the checkout counter, who had his head buried in his Iphone. I actually went over to him to ask a question about the Cologne display near him. As I approached him I heard him say quite loudly, «F*CK!» as he furiously fingered his phone. Diane and I looked at each other, turned and left the store without ever being given the opportunity to buy anything.
I think he saw us and assumed that we were not worthy of shopping there, but who knows, maybe he treats everyone like that! The funny thing is, I had a very profitable trip and ended up buying a very expensive shirt while we were in Vegas. If this guy would have at least been polite to us I would have spent the money here. As it ended up, I bought it at Fred Segal HE in the SLS.

as long as you can afford it, this is where everybody should be shopping. the best thing you can do is imitate all the mannequins posted in the windows with a cheaper alternative :) hey thats what i do. hahahahah

Modeled after the CBGB Bowery store and featuring the complete collection of John Varvatos and Varvtos USA plus a small selection of lifestyle items like books and Vinyl this is high end done right. Understanding that Varvatos clothing is not for everyone, often times priced well outside of my range, there is no doubt that the man is running his company right and as one of the better American Men’s designers I remain a fan, picking up pieces when sales or circumstances allow.

We came into the John Varvatos store in January. There was so much great clothing for my boyfriend. We live in Chicago (where there is not a JV store) and we were traveling with small carry –on luggage. The store manager, Adrian, was not only very helpful in picking out the clothing, but he also shipped our new purchases back to Chicago.

This store was mostly clothing for men, but it did have vinyl. So this is my review on the vinyl section only. BUYER BEWARE! You are being ripped off. I’m a record buyer. This is my job. I know my shit and what I don’t know, I look up (yes, there is a blue book for vinyl collectors). I picked up a Todd Rundgren album and this place was trying to charge 90 bucks or so for it because it was a first pressing. First pressing or not, it was only worth 20 bucks at the most. We sell it for 2 used. The clothes seemed overpriced and generic also.
