JoS A bank

JoS A Bank is a good place to get inexpensive men’s clothing, and you get exactly what you pay for, which is fine if you need a suit or other dress clothing you won’t wear very often. For example, I recently bought a tuxedo there (pants, jacket, shirt, tie, vest) because I know I’m not going to wear it very often and I didn’t need good quality. I buy my every-​day quality business clothing from Brooks Brothers. Definitely more expensive, but on a cost-​per-​wear basis it is much less expensive. I have had «iffy» experiences at JoS A Bank buying other clothing: last year I tried them out by buying a grey suit and the salesperson talked me into buying pants of a certain length, assuring me they could be tailored to my length. The way the tailored them was not good, rigging them up in a weak way that will fall apart soon and not be fixable. I’ll wear them till they do, and won’t buy a suit there again. I am definitely biased toward being willing to pay for quality and value, and JoS A Bank is just not at that level in the men’s clothing business. One more small thing that happened, which I just don’t agree with: I bought a set of buttons and cuffs with the tuxedo I described above for $ 79.95. When I tried everything on, I realized the rectangle shapes would be a pain, because I’d have to keep making sure they are all straight and facing the same way. So I bought a set on amazon (circles), same quality, for $ 39.95. I brought the original set back to JoS A Bank, explaining that I had just bought everything else two weeks ago, and could I just return these for credit. Apparently, they had been on sale between then and now, but were not anymore. So they would only give me credit for the sale price (50% off). Granted I didn’t have a receipt, but the guy I bought everything from two weeks ago was there today, so??? I just think that is not cool to do, it’s taking advantage of a customer who just spent about $ 500, and if you want people to buy more and be loyal and tell everyone how great you are, then maybe a little effort? I mean, I didn’t get upset, and really didn’t care that much, but it’s just not how you get a customer to love you, right?
