George’s Apparel

I’ve read some bad things about George’s but I’ve been buying suits there for ten years. First of all, if you go to Macy’s or Jos Banks you can get a better selection of modern or hip suits. The next step is tailoring which costs money. In the future, if you lose a button or break a zipper, or pull a seam then you are back to the tailor paying more money. If you gain a few pounds or lose a few pounds you’re back paying more money. George has free repairs and alterations for life. Over the past ten years, George’s has taken my suits in, taken them out, repaired rips, buttons, and zippers all for free. Their suits are not the modern slim cut suits because those suits, like skinny ties, will be out of fashion again in just another few years. A good suit lasts a long time and never looks dated. I tell people to go to George’s for their suits.

I’m pretty sure I’ve bought every suit I’ve ever owned here. They have a lot of choices and you get lifetime tailoring with it. Plus the staff is always helpful and there prices are right. You can buy a nice suit cheaper than renting sometimes and you get to keep it. Thanks George’s

We were left no choice in where to get the suit for our friends wedding. They didn’t even have bags to put the suit in when the suit was finally ready to be picked up. Shirt was also pretty wrinkled, we won’t end up back here for anything unless forced. The suit was totally overpriced for what we got. The hem lines on the suit were not even straight and by the time we noticed it was too late. Not worth the money or the trip

I drive all the way from the NH Seacoast to shop at Georges Apparel. I find that they have a huge selection of top quality suits, significantly greater than in the national chains, that are priced well. They go the distance in fitting me and tapering them to my larger physique. I have always found the staff to be attentive, and strive to please. I prefer to shop there on week days as I have found the place to be crazy busy on Saturdays, making it hard to get the level of service that I expect when i am purchasing four or five suits and a few sport jackets. I have read some of the critical reviews and I can only think they are either driven by a hidden agenda or they caught the place on a bad day. I for one am a discriminating buyer and I find them a cut above!

If your a big guy, you don’t want to go here, or at least be selective on your sales person. The salesman Al treated me like I just came off the farm and never wore a suit before. Al was not the big guys pal. I needed a sport jacket and pants for my Dad’s funeral I was dealing with enough at that point and this jerk treats me like I just came out of a cave. Plus he measured my pants wrong I had to come back 3 times for adjustment to my pants and jacket. The one saving grace in the place was Holly, if it wasn’t for her the whole transaction would have been a disaster. This is not the first time I have received poor service in this place. If your not an off the rack type of guy, don’t go here. Al maybe its time to retire, if you don’t want to work, stay the hell home.

We wanted to try and shop locally for as much of our wedding purchases as possible. We did not want to support big box stores if local business could use it. As a wedding industry professional as a sales representative for a bridal gown designer, I feel strongly about this. I googled local men’s apparel stores in my area and found George’s. I found that George’s had very limited hours and had a hard time finding time for my brother and my fiancé to meet there together. We rushed out of work early to get there before 5:30 to find them suits to purchase for our wedding. We were serviced by the tailoring expert and felt unsure about the selection. We left an order with the seamstress and never got a call again until I had to call to find out if the suits were ready to be fitted or not. I sent my groom and my brother to get their suits fitted and were told that when he walks in the sales clerk said «oh shit». They got there at 5:10 and were told they were unable to be helped. The sales staff dismissed my groom and my brother and told them to come back on a date that they were open later. My wedding is less than four weeks away and I am extremely disappointed in service we were given at this store. They will not be receiving any more of my business or any referrals for me, that is for sure. Unfortunately we are not forced to shop at a big box store like Macy’s or Mens Wearhouse.

George’s Apparel could easily be a 3 or 4 star place for the right customer. If you’re a teenager looking for their first suit or a businessman looking for a suit for work and you don’t want to spend too much you’re in luck (assuming you can find a sales person to help you). Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a modern, slim cut. American/​European made or canvassed suit there doesn’t seem to be many options.
Upon walking into George’s you see there are thousands of suits in every size you can imagine. There were a few sales representatives standing around but none offered to help us. Not deterred, I was able to find the section with my size and after 5 minutes a sales rep came over and asked if he could help. When I stated I was looking for a slim cut suit in charcoal or dark grey he responded: «We don’t really have many slim cut suits, look for those with a yellow sticker» and walked away never to be seen again. Thinking we misunderstood, I mean how can you have this many suits and no slim cuts? We keep looking for another 10 – 15 minutes. We quickly realized he was right (at least they know their stock), most of the suits were very conservative complete with pleated pants.
I didn’t find what I was looking for at George’s Apparel, but if you’re in their target demographic it could be a great alternative to Men’s Warehouse or the department stores in Manchester.

I took my son to get his first suite for his college interviews. I had heard a lot of of good things from others about George’s. My expectations were far exceeded! The selection was very broad. The pricing was better than the big box stores. The service was very personable. What a pleasure to be able to support a very reputable local business.

I’m glad to see the other customers of this place received good service because my husband and I certainly did not. Actually, the service was non-​existent. We were in the place for ten minutes and no one even approached us, even though there was someone on the floor. Of course, the person on the floor was having a nice chat with a friend, so he just couldn’t be bothered to make minimal eye contact. Even after asking for help, the rep on the floor said he needed to call someone else (!!!). We waited around for awhile without anyone materializing to help us, so we walked out. It’s too bad because I had heard (and read below) such good things about this place and I would rather give my money to a local business. Maybe they have better staff than the one person we met, but those people clearly don’t work on the morning shift. We went to Men’s Warehouse in the mall and maybe it’s a chain but the staff is clearly better trained.

Wonderful experience. Experienced, helpful staff. Not pushy in the least. Just go in there and throw yourself on their mercy and you’ ll walk out with the perfect suit at a good price. They also rent tuxes.

I had to get fit for a suit here for a wedding and the folks there were very personable and trustworthy. I enjoy supporting local business and this store has a good thing going.

George’s Apparel is a throwback to an older time. Not a time when salespeople took pride in introducing customers to good quality products at a reasonable price, but a time more reminiscent of «Glengarry Glen Ross» or «Death of a Salesman,» where desperate salespeople working on commission try to dupe naïve «pigeons» into giving up as much cash as possible for shoddy merchandise.
I kept expecting Alec Baldwin, as Blake, to come out swinging his brass balls saying «ABC…Always Be Closing!!» See

Or, a suicidal Willy Loman character begging me to buy something so that George wouldn’t fire him.
I’ve shopped for suits all over the U.S., in NYC, SF, Atlanta. I didn’t recognize any of the overpriced cheap labels that George’s pushes.
The Willy Lomans that work there only see you as a commission. Don’t expect any more than that. Once they know you’re not an easy commission, they will rudely turn their backs on you (literally).
For a decent suit, just go to Macy’s. For a free live performance of Glengarry, you can’t do better than George’s.
Oh…I love the other review written by the George’s employee. Subtlety is not their forte, apparently. I have to especially laugh at the «knowledgeable staff» comment. The saleswoman there (George’s daughter, I discovered) tried to sell me a undersized tuxedo shirt and convince me that my tux jacket (which is perfectly tailored) needed its sleeves shortened.
When I explained to her how she was wrong, she walked away, leaving me standing on the tailor’s stool. (A co-​workers of hers sighed, rolled his eyes, and whispered to me that he was glad I didn’t fall for her scam.)
Wow. Just… wow.
